   Bemidji State University in Minnesota has an online statistics course. The college I attended required statistics for the RN to BSN program, and I took my course online.

3. How did you pass the ANCC certification exam?

4. Where to find used Family Nurse Practitioner certification review material

   newgrad13 replied to Jkenney2's topic in NP

   I purchased the 2010 CD's (with review workbook) from the Fitzgerald website (because the content of the ANCC exam changed considerably in 2010). The new cd's are released every year around late March/April (I believe). Thus, you might not want to ...

5. Schools over - stuck with 18 books

   newgrad13 replied to Natingale's topic in General Nursing

   Whoaa........I usually got back 1/2-2/3 of the original book price once commissions were paid (I usually bought my books new ahead of the semester from Amazon or one of their resellers). There were books I actually made money on. My books were all ...

   newgrad13 replied to beckyfnp's topic in NP Students

   Cameron46, great tips! FNPGrad, I'll be praying/rooting for you - let us know how it goes. You definitely sound ready - in my opinion, I would not want to "wait" longer because to me that equates to "more stress". Good sleep the night before is ha...

8. Schools over - stuck with 18 books

   newgrad13 replied to Natingale's topic in General Nursing

   I bought most of my books in "like new" condition from Amazon sellers (at a good discount), and then kept them pristine. Each semester, I sold almost "all" of the previous semester's books. I went the "long" route in nursing getting a generic Asso...

9. How did you pass the ANCC certification exam?

   newgrad13 replied to beckyfnp's topic in NP Students

   If you have time to study your final semester, you might want to file an early application (March/April) with a placeholder transcript. This option (you send your final transcript in with the conferred degree asap after graduation) would likely give...

10. Which was harder?

    newgrad13 replied to sistasoul's topic in NP

    Gosh, I think with all of the papers and research (and that will be dependent on where you would complete your FNP), I think the MSN/FNP to be significantly "more work". I don't think you'll find it "hard" given your achievements already, but the sc...

    Kangoshi, A great big congratulations to you too! So great to have it "over" with. I didn't receive any kind of a breakdown, just my official certificate. You can go to the ANCC website and order a verification (you get one free) if you need it fo...

14. May NP Graduates and ANCC Certification

    newgrad13 replied to NurseJi's topic in NP

    I graduated in May, but submitted an "early application with a placeholder transcript" by the first week in March. I submitted my final transcript (with conferred degree) at the end of May, and I had my authorization to test by the first week in Jun...

15. How did you pass the ANCC certification exam?

    newgrad13 replied to beckyfnp's topic in NP Students

    MistieRN, I've been thinking about you - I think today was your "original" test date (I don't know if you went through with the exam or if you changed the date). Did you test today, and if so, how did it go? :)
