Reese, I did my FNP as a hybrid online/clinical experience through Rutgers in NJ. I found the pricing reasonable and got me where I want to be! I'll be happy to provide any info if you're interested.
you are right! I lived/worked at the Mayo Clinic (Rochester, MN) and had to leave for family reasons. I probably would have stayed otherwise because they are DESPERATE for mid-level practitioners. They pay REALLY well too.

Although I feel like I understand the BASIC differences between AANP and ANCC certification, I was wondering if anyone else had further info. I recently passed the AANP and received notice I may sign as: NP-C The ANCC allows a nurse practitioner to s...

Hi Mistie!!! CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got your message this morning and perhaps your good wishes helped me too! hooray!!!!! how did you celebrate?!??!
eradak1.... i sit in a couple of weeks and i'm getting super anxious. i just hafta ask... were there tons of questions on random, super-weird diseases? or was it basic treatment stuff? what are your suggestions for studying at this point? thank you!...

Mickey4 ... I am so sorry. do you usually have severe test anxiety? sometimes a little pre-exam anxiolytic can really help. i know that's not a customary suggestion, but it may be something to think about. was the material on the test not covered in ...

I was just wondering how you folks know about the "overhaul" to the AANP exam? ... Was there any information released by the organization about this and what sort of changes they implemented??? thank you!

onefrustratednurse - i am SO sorry. i think the best plan of attack is to figure out what areas you felt unprepared. was it the way the questions were asked? was it material you had never seen before? was it all on "one" subject?
whoa..... i need some serious advice here. I am studying out of the Fitzgerald Nurse Practitioner Certification Examination and Practice Preparation 3rd edition book. In Chapter 3, skin disorders, I am totally in disagreement with the MRSA answers. D...

kelly, i'm so sorry. i have heard the AANP is more clinical question/scenario based and i wonder if you would consider taking that one instead? i question the utility of the number of theory and statistics based questions on Boards.... i can understa...
Point well taken. thank you LizRN. i've been studying (for real) for about 3.5 weeks and am planning on taking it in July. i don't want to wait too long for the reasons you mentioned and besides .... i don't think my brain can handle much more! I stu...
Reading your post made me feel hopeful! I am currently using a Winland-Brown/Dunphy book and there are a ton of statistical questions, most common, least common, etc. I was under the impression the exam is scenario based. is that correct? Thanks!

Hey there, I wanted to second your comment on Leik's errors. I counted 5 throughout the book and was really frustrated by that. I even contacted experts at my hospital to confirm the answers were wrong.
Hi! I am studying from a variety of books and have noticed there are a LOT of statistics questions like you mentioned.... are there THAT many on the actual AANP FNP exam??? I was under the impression it is scenario-based but you would know better! Th...
