FNPGrad

I got my FNP certification from AANP recently also and applied for AANC reciprocity. You don't need to take the test, just submit an application and fee. It is a relatively simple process, the application is only 4-5 pages and doesn't require submitt...

Congratulations!!! :clpty::clpty::clpty::clpty:

Deannarex- Good luck on the exam!! I will be praying for you and sending you positive thoughts! dojo2- congrats on your new job! I am sure that you feel nervous and overwhelmed. It's all so new! I am doing another semester as a clinical instructor t...

Once again, a whole new level of ignorance. This is from "The World Health Organization's ranking of the world's health systems" 1 France 2 Italy 3 San Marino 4 Andorra 5 Malta 6 Singapore 7 Spa...

Sounds like you're taking this personally! So if no physician was available, you would have a family member go without treatment? Ridiculous! That's a whole new level of ignorance...

Thanks Deanna! Actually, I was so exhausted after the exam, I slept for most of the afternoon and went to bed early Good point about the earphones! My exam was Sunday morning and the place was packed. The guy next to me was frantically (and quite lou...

deltamed- "Instead the trend has been NP/DNP going into specialty care where we do not need them..." Another person spewing fiction and acting like it's the truth. What is your source on this supposed "trend" besides your opinion? As was so eloquen...

I took the AANP on Sunday morning and passed. I am still pinching myself! :anpom: Deanna, I think you will do fine on the exam. You sound like you are very well prepared. The most important thing is to try to keep your anxiety level down and make sur...

wowza- "it has been shown in various studies that midlevels order more tests which makes up the tiny difference that pay difference makes" Is this your opinion or fact - what studies are you referring to?

I was surprised a little by the questions. It was 100% clinically focused. No theory, legal, ethical or research questions at all. I guess it's the ANCC exam that includes those type of questions. It took me 2 hours total, including marking several q...

I passed the AANP exam today! :rckn: I am sooooo tired...I feel like I could sleep for a week! :zzzzz

Awwww! Thank you also to newgrad13 and Blessedx3! I didn't see your posts before I replied to Cameron46. I will definitely keep you posted!

Thank you so very much for your thorough and very reassuring response! I think that you just told me everything that I needed to hear. As a matter of fact, I cut+pasted your reply onto a word document and printed it (with colorful fonts) to put with ...

Ugggh! I think I am having a nervous breakdown! I take the AANP exam this Sunday the 22nd, and I am a total mess. I've listen to APEA and Fitz CDs, done practice tests using the Zerwekh computer CD (raised my score from 66-83%) and I've been going t...

I had to look it up also. Here is a definition from the AANP website (American Association of Naturopathic Physicians): "Naturopathic physicians combine the wisdom of nature with the rigors of modern science. Steeped in traditional healing metho...

Sorry...one more thing. Tuition is $640 per credit so 640 x 202 = $129,280 Room and board for 4 years (6950 x 4) = $27,800 plus books, food, lab fees, misc fees….?? Roughly $160,000!

OMG…so funny that this came up!! I was catching up with an old friend a few days ago and she was updating me on another friend (bear with me…it gets good) who became a naturopathic doctor in 2009. The last time I saw her in 2003, she was a Clinical N...

Whether it's worth it depends on you. The truth is, from what I've heard, it doesn't really matter to most employers which certification an NP has, as long as the NP is certified. Some employers (like the VA) want ANCC certification. In my area (Conn...

Reciprocity certification from the ANCC is in addition to your original certification. You don't lose anything.

holy cow! :grn: thank you so much for posting that updated info. better get back to studying! i've got 16 days to go until aanp d-day :hdvwl:

Good luck Lovely30 and mickey4! I will keep you both in my prayers. :hug: I take the AANP for the first time on August 22nd and soooo want it to just be over!

I was a die-hard Fitzgerald devotee, but the more I listen to the APEA CDs and look at the review book, the more I like Amelie Hollier. She is very realistic, down to earth and not the least bit condescending. Just an example: She makes a joke about...

Hi lesrn So sorry for the late reply! I'm sure you're really going to think I'm crazy but I started doing homecare in 1993-94 when I was a much younger RN and wanted to supplement my income - in addition to the 3 -12's I was doing in the ICU (Ahhh..t...

Hi Caitlin, The one suggestion that I would offer is to not limit yourself to just NPs. I did my Pedi with an MD and my GYN with a PA. Both were excellent learning experiences and I was able to see the similarities and differences of each type of pro...

Congratulations nrsjess!! :hpygrp::hpygrp::hpygrp::hpygrp: At least it's all behind you now! I take the AANP on August 14th and I am sooooo sick of studying! I can't wait 'til it's over
