I passed the AANP FNP boards on December 29, 2016 and graduated from my FNP program in May of 2015, that is a full year and a half after I was done with my program. (Life got in the way with two boys with autism). I only took the exam once and passed...

Abby, I just copied some of our discussion onto a word document and am trying to copy the rest and I will send it to you. Allyson But call me first

Hello everyone, I am here. I am going to see if I can find this post through the search option. Allyson

Hey Abby, what is your phone number really quick? I need to talk to you and then I think we will be done with this discussion.

LOL Brenda, you are already using Tinkerbell in your posts? You are doing well, I can't even do that. I think you are right that we should use the PICO format that you quote on page three, email it everyone else in our group and get it approved and...

Brenda, you are quick! Awesome summarization of PICO, I love it! You all are on the ball, I am still in my pajamas and have been doing pharmacology since 9:00 this morning LOL.

So I'm feeling a bit goofy now. Okay, thank you Abby for volunteering for the EBP part, what section is that again? I suggested that we use the Iowa Model because it is nursing based as I discussed on our board this week and there is also a great fl...

Oh okay, LOL, PICO, you mean the articles I haven't read yet because my one hour pharmacology class has me in a tailspin right now. And by the way, I'm venting here, Nursing 731 should be a three hour credit, one hour is crap. Anyway, thank you for...

Right there with you Abby, about how things have been clarified in this class so far :angryfire. Well, I would be willing to write about the research side of the project, I think that is part two. I can do lots of it, although I don't know what PIC...

It says up there that we have three members and three guests, I hope you are there Judith and Kamala. If you want to join the discussion, just log into allnurses.com by registering we would love your input!

Good questions Brenda. I would say that we would be developing new hospital protocols for patients with regards to how many hours and what time a patient should go 'NPO' before surgery. We could look at medical records to audit rates of aspiration ...

:yeah:Sorry Abby, I'm having way to much fun with these little icons in my post, I definitely like your idea and thank you for bringing the syllabus along. I do not have it in front of me, how many sections are there to the EBP project and can you l...

:yeah:Brenda, I would love to do the topic of C-sections, but I think we need to keep it braos enough to where everyone in the group could use this information we are working on since they work in different clinical areas. Most C-section patients do...

Abby, could you clarify the patients post operative fluid status to avoid post operative complication? Would it be too simple to state that our topic would be, what is the exact amount of time a patient has to be NPO in order to avoid asperation and...

We also talked about who could do the editing and APA checks on our paper and Brenda stated that she is good at this.

Hey Abby!! Just keep hitting your refresh button to see what we are posting. Welcome and glad you found us. Brenda and I are here and are discussing the NPO thing. Do you have any ideas or thoughts are what angle we should approach this?

:yeah:Hey Brenda, so glad your on the site and found the forum, I hope everyone else does, do you think Dr. Sousa would be receptive to how many hours it takes for people to truly be NPO before the rates of aspiration increase? This would help us in...

How about the idea of either number of hours it takes to be NPO before risk of aspiration is lowered in preoperative patients, or with regards to patients who have been educated to what NPO actually means and patients who have not, how long did they ...

Hello to all you Frontier people out there on this Forum! I have a question, I am applying for next year's class and was wondering, do they really mean its 30 hours a week of studying if you go part time? How many papers do you write? Are there al...

Hello, I just got into the midwifery program at the University of Kansas Medical center which I know now is ranked 12th in the nation. I have always wanted to be a midwife. It is exactly what I have wanted to do since the first day of nursing schoo...

AMEN!! Perhaps it is just the midwest that seems to be void of midwives with only a select few hired and they must have experience. Oh well, my husband and I are looking at moving to Seattle in 2011 after I graduate, so we will see, I think I will ...

I hope you are right about the field of CNM's. It seems like all I read are articles of hospitals firing their CNM's and OBGYN"s not wanting to collaborate with them because of liability issues. Insurance coverage ranges from 20,000 to 25,000 a yea...

Hi Mom2Michael, I moved from Missouri to Kansas a year ago because my five year old son has autism and there are much better services for him across the stateline. However, I know that in St. Louis there are alot of midwives that practice and I know...

I am shocked and mortified that the clinic that you work in does not have a chaperone for their patients during gynecologic exams performed by male docs or nurses. I know that at my clinic and my hospital, it is MANDATORY that a female is present fo...

I need help from anyone who has experience with the HESI test. I have already passed my boards, but my friend, who I am trying to help study took a HESI E2 today and scored a 711. Her test is in a week and a half and she is scared as heck about tak...
