  1. does anybody know what is the passing score you need to get in order to pass the ANCC

    emtneel replied to angelgirl19's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I wouldn't put too much weight on comparing how many practice questions you are answering right or not. I felt like I missed a lot of practice questions, but learned a lot from the review book. 91%...

  3. Offered job over the phone?

    emtneel replied to emtneel's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have had a couple of similar situations over the past couple months. I applied for a certain job at Dallas Childrens and they past my resume to another unit. That job actually sounds really nice,...

  4. Offered job over the phone?

    emtneel replied to emtneel's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    i think they are just trying to get a warm body, anybody, and obviously at the cheapest cost... This has been my experience so far... a few others said they were really interested and wanted me to...

  5. Insults to the midlevel professions

    emtneel replied to emtneel's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    yeah, that ad was a doosy. It did have some other things such as prescribing, etc. but did not seem like they were looking for a NP to be able to function independently and that the MD needed his own...

  7. NP Fellowship?

    emtneel posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    So I decided to go check out a clinic which offers a fellowship for new graduate NP's. It is a Internal medicine practice. It seems like a great place to work, and the Doc would be willing to work...

  9. NP science preparation vs. MD science preparation

    emtneel replied to amzyRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  10. I Want To Become An Ob/gyn Np! Help!

    emtneel replied to e_zapanta's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    #1. Only you can know this, calculate the costs financially and time-wise. #2 Depends I guess on what your goals are, I never really wanted to be a RN, I wanted to become an FNP but you have to become...

  11. NP science preparation vs. MD science preparation

    emtneel replied to amzyRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    i Don't necessarily agree with this statement. For anesthesia, ACNP, NNP, or OB/GYN maybe.. but ANP, PNP, and FNP are all broad spectrum

  12. NP science preparation vs. MD science preparation

    emtneel replied to amzyRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Nursing is not really "science" oriented. Although some would argue it is "nursing science" and theory. I had one Patho course in my program. Even for RN pre-req's you can take nursing courses for...

  14. NP Fellowship?

    emtneel replied to emtneel's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That's kind of what I have been thinking. Actually not sure how involved this job would be since a pediatric hosp. but at the interview i had she did say they had a lot of chronic kids, genetic...

  15. NP Fellowship?

    emtneel replied to emtneel's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    So if anybody reads this I am getting really discouraged with job hunting interviews. I get my hopes up then they all just keep falling through. (and i do see this as God shutting the door) I have...

  16. Offered job over the phone?

    emtneel replied to emtneel's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    So now instead of flying me down his HR person called and said he wants to interview someone locally next Friday, before they put up the expense of flying me out. I guess that's the name of the game...

  17. Preceptor

    emtneel replied to pedirn57's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    if you are only 1st or 2nd semester you can just say I would really like to shadow you at least a few shifts since I have never done this before. I think it is good if they make you come out of your...

  18. interview

    emtneel replied to johnson0424's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  19. NP Fellowship?

    emtneel replied to emtneel's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  20. Is NP practice truely semi/autonomous?

    emtneel replied to amzyRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My background is very similar to yours. I also did Biology pre-med and actually got accepted to medical school. If you go the NP route, you will NEVER be considered a Doctor. Depending on which...

  21. NP Fellowship?

    emtneel replied to emtneel's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yeah, and I'm not in a position where I am desperate. I am in a good position where I can move ie. no kids/husband. I am looking in Texas (see my other post today..) I'm am just a little worried if...

  22. NP Fellowship?

    emtneel replied to emtneel's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I guess because he calls it a "fellowship" and you get mentored or basically another 6 months of clinicals times he doesn't have to pay you. I feel the same, I worked my butt off for my degree and...

    emtneel replied to emtneel's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  25. GRE scores, what's good?

    emtneel replied to Iconoclast's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I just got a bunch of books from the library. Work most on what your weakest area is. If you get a score that is just a little below what the school requires, call them and ask, my school said they...
