  1. About to start clinicals... A little freaked out!

    Dixiecup replied to jkpowell23's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I stayed freaked out the whole time. I just couldn't imagine myself actually going to work and doing this stuff on my own. I felt dumb as dirt. (and I had excellent preceptors, very user friendly). I...

  2. Failed AANP today

    Dixiecup replied to ebkayaker's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    So sorry to hear this. I can honestly say I know exactly how you feel. I had to take it twice. Stick with the AANP. You may not get the same test as you did before, they have several versions. There...

  3. Proper use of credentials

    Dixiecup replied to trishpatsaros's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would just like to add that with the new EMR rage, I don't findd myself even signing my name that

  4. Proper use of credentials

    Dixiecup replied to trishpatsaros's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    In Missouri I believe for a FNP the BON requires a signature of Dixiecup APRN FNP-BC. That is what I was taught, I could be wrong as I often

  5. Attire for clinicals

    Dixiecup replied to lweatherby's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I wore business casual. A lot of dresses an skirts. They are much more comfy than confining slacks. As soon as I got an NP job I gave away all my scrubs, I hate wearing them! Good shoes are a must....

  6. Rules of the Dr.office

    Dixiecup replied to prowlingMA's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Don't call the clinic wanting a refill on your pain meds because your house burned down and your meds were in the bathroom, when you called the clinic down the road yesterday and told them your house...

  7. dr of naturopathic medicine

    Dixiecup replied to pedspnp's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Pardon my ignorance, but I've never even heard of one of these degrees. What can you do with

  8. CME reibursement

    Dixiecup replied to pedspnp's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have the greatest employer ever. I get four weeks a year for vacation/CME time to be used for whatever I want. Plus $2000 a year for reimbursment. I have to agree, I don't think the online CME hours...

  9. Anyone use JoAnn Zerwekh books for NCLEX prep

    Dixiecup replied to Elleveein's topic in General Nursing

    Didn't use it for the NCLEX but I did use her review book to study for the FNP boards and I thought it was

  10. Honest thoughts on Job Market

    Dixiecup replied to pat8585's topic in General Nursing

    Gosh, I feel so bad for all the new grads. It must be so disheartening. Back when I graduated, 23 years ago, almost every person in my class had a job secured one or two months before graduation. I...

  11. I need help charting skin issues!!

    Dixiecup posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This was always my weakness. Is there a good website or book that can help with describing skin issues. I see quite a bit and my charting sucks. It's embarrassing when I read it back. I don't mean...

  12. Need advise regarding choosing 1st NP job

    Dixiecup replied to lakebabynurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I work for a company that has several rural clinics and I float. The people are all wonderful to work with, I am not overwhelmed and the benefits are too good to be true but they

  13. AANP Certification Exam

    Dixiecup replied to Dixiecup's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thank goodness, NO, it was not the same test. If it had been I would have certainly failed AGAIN. I think it's the luck of the draw which test you get but it's not always the

  14. Just wondering NP & PA

    Dixiecup replied to physio's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Why does it make you cringe? It's what we

  15. Physical requirements of NP jobs

    Dixiecup replied to RNinWI's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    No way does it compare to hospital or LTC nursing! You are running around a lot but do get to sit down in the room with the pt for at least part of the time and give your back a break. I have a...

  16. Need advise regarding choosing 1st NP job

    Dixiecup replied to lakebabynurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My first (and probably last, I can see myself retiring from this company) job was a winner as I have previously posted. I lucked out! But I know all areas in the country aren't the same way. I wish...

  17. AANP Certification Exam

    Dixiecup replied to Dixiecup's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I took the test two times. I do not remember seeing the work "fail" anytime. The first time it said "you have not passed" (or something like that) and the second time it said

  18. New NP job market ????

    Dixiecup replied to middleageNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I feel lucky to live in Missouri. I had a job interview the same week I tested and got the job offer the next week. I was working two weeks after that. It is also the best possible job I think I...

  19. AANP Certfication Exam ( I failed it)

    Dixiecup replied to ERandAestheticFNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Sorry for the misunderstanding. I did not wait for the formal paper to do the required CE's. You DO have to wait for the paper to re-apply because it has a number on it you have to submit. I probably...

  20. AANP exam - did I pass????????

    Dixiecup replied to nurseguy1961's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I did the same thing when I took the test! I failed it the first time and the way it reads is either "not passed" or "passed". You can call AANP and they will tell you for

  21. AANP Certification Exam

    Dixiecup replied to Dixiecup's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It was about three weeks before I got the ok to test

  22. AANP Certification Exam

    Dixiecup replied to Dixiecup's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I know it says that but when you actually get the paper that tells you your weak spots it is very vague. There are free CE's to take on the ANNP website that turn out to be just enough to get the...

  23. AANP Certfication Exam ( I failed it)

    Dixiecup replied to ERandAestheticFNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Start doing the required CE's NOW and get them sent in. I took the test again in exactly six weeks from the first one. Had a job one week

  24. How did you pass the ANCC certification exam?

    Dixiecup replied to beckyfnp's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You may or may not get the same exam. It's the luck of the draw. I than God I got a different test or I am certain I would have failed it

  25. How did you pass the ANCC certification exam?

    Dixiecup replied to beckyfnp's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner
