I know that there is a thread to how much you make, but I was wondering how much I should be paid. I work with a hospitalist group. I work at only one hospital and I get paid per patient. Based on if it's a follow up, H&P or discharge. I am a new...

Hello all I was invited to an interview for the FNP at FAU in Boca Raton, FL. I'm nervous because I'm not sure what to expect. Has anyone graduated from there are going for an interview also? Any advice would be appreciated.:)

Thank you!

What were you scoring on the practice exams?

How did you do?

I have a few questions for those who are in a NP program and plan to apply for CRNA school... Why are you going this route? Did you take the GRE? I'm asking because I'm in a FNP program now and I know in the deepest of my heart that this isn't my cho...

Hi MegMont, well I'm in FNP program and will graduate May 2013. I'm liking it however, I do not love it. I have my days when I dream of going into a CRNA program after I graduate. But, reality sets in I know I just can not do that. I am lucky that sc...

I have to agree with the above poster... Although I am in a FNP program now, I have already completed all the "filler" classes. Research is the one class you should pay a bit more attention to. Like the other poster stated you will use evidence base ...

In my area FNP's work in acute care. However, it's all about experience as an NP (your RN experience does not count). I know FNP's who work first in an office setting (like cardiology, or another speciality) after 1 or 2 years experience then apply t...

I'm thinking of specializing in Cardio myself... it's all I've done as an RN. I'm currently in a FNP program and I work in stress lab/cath lab and with EP docs so I'm hoping with my contacts that I'll be able to land a job with one of the many doc's ...

Yes it was similar... Print out the quizzes & study by them & you should be fine

I understand your frustrations I live in an area with many FNP/ANP schools along with medical students. I am being turned down by all docs in my hospital because of their commentment to medical students... I need a family practice to precept in offic...

I'm a nurse and I don't think you are nurse bashing! I'm happy that you admit that you are not "bedside nurse" material! I much rather work with someone who is in it for the right reason, and the patient will appreciate it to! It is not for everyone....

I'm in the same dilemma. I'm in a FNP program now & I'm not 100% sure it's for me. CRNA was where i originally wanted to be. I feel I have went to far. I quit my job in the ICU & took a less stressful one doing stress test in the hospital I s...

A personal statement is a little about yourself, any volunteer work that you have done or even info about being a wife and mom and how you have arrived to where you are now. Career goals is about where you see yourself in the future as an FNP how you...

ga is a great place to be... i'm originally from sc & have lived in south fl for over 20 years & i'm ready to move on. my husband rather move to ga so that we are between our 2 families so it's great to hear the job market is good there.

Where are you going to school? I'm going to FAU in south FL & I'm afraid I'm gonna have the same problem!

Bsnanat2...... Where do you live? I live in south FL (near Ft Lauderdale) & plan to move to GA once I graduate (2013). How is the job market for family practice?

I'm in a FNP program and I believe I'll have to leave my job once I begin clinicals. I currently work four 8/HR shifts (10/HR most days) with no weekends or holidays. I am either going to take time off or take a pool position so that I'm not locked i...

I live in S FL and in school now in the FNP program. I plan to move once I finish school. It's horrible in FL no work, little pay, and cost of living is outrages. I have lived in the same place for over 20 years and the area, economy, and working con...

zenman you live my life... if I didn't have a family I would join the nurse corps or an agency... I get bored... so after 12 weeks moving on seems to be the answer! Plus, I hate a negative work place. I rather go in do my job and don't talk to me ab...

In to response to opening books and iphone in front of patients.... don't sweat it! I see my pcp ad FNP I go to do it and it actually relieves me. I know they don't know everything and it makes me comfortable that they admit to it. I always tell my...

LexyD don't let the GPA thing get to you... The hospital does not know you're GPA. Although you may not be able to recite your textbook does not mean you are not a good nurse. Critical thinking (thinking outside the box or putting the puzzle together...

What do you mean "not smart enough to work in an ICU". I have worked both and in the ER you need your wits just as much as in the ICU. In the ER you are taking care of 7 patients at a time and in the ICU 1-2. Although in the ICU I worked in those 1-2...

buster 4... you'll get your family back and think you are at the finish line. Pat yourself on the back you did it and survived.
