  1. New grad NP taking a position at a Retail Clinic

    Tinabeanrn replied to SunnybeachRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    Dont be nervous. You will do fine! I hope its going well. I think its not a bad start. I would have started there too if they would have called me back. I was lucky enough to get a family practice...

  2. Scared I may not get through my NP program

    Tinabeanrn replied to 123Cindylee's topic in Advanced Practice

    I am all for studying questions but I think it is better to have a really good understanding of the material. When I studied I would read the disease in 3 to 4 different resources...say HTN. Read it...

    Tinabeanrn replied to hope1272's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  4. Thank you Lord that I failed my first nclex

    Tinabeanrn replied to Yownyown's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  5. NP, ANP, FNP......Help please!!!!

    Tinabeanrn replied to swtcaligurl's topic in Advanced Practice

    Tinabeanrn posted a topic in Advanced Practice

    Week 3 of orientation and I have seen so many drug seekers its ridiculous. All they seem to be concerned with is Vicodin and xanax. Its getting pretty scary. One doc that is training me does not write...

    Tinabeanrn replied to ashleyr34's topic in General Nursing

    Tinabeanrn replied to roreyn02's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hey OP. Interesting thread to say the least :)! My thought is...will the drug screen be positive if someone ask for a hair sample? Take one of the other posters advice and purchase some over the...

  17. A male Nurse Practitioner: What are your thoughts?

    Tinabeanrn replied to indomie23's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    All good questions OP. I agree with Myelin though, do you already have your BSN? Or do you have a bachelors in something else. If you have your BSN I would say go the NP route. There are plenty of...

    Tinabeanrn replied to prajwala's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  23. I can't believe that I made such a stupid mistake and am kicking myself!!!

    Tinabeanrn replied to RN Chaos's topic in Patient Safety Issues
