  2. What are the worst call in excuses you've heard?

    Dixiecup replied to sasha2lady's topic in General Nursing

    Was on a hayride, fell off the wagon and got ran over. When she came to work two days later, had the wheel marks cross her chest to prove

  3. What is the funniest thing a patient has ever said to you?

    Dixiecup replied to carolmaccas66's topic in General Nursing

    I was taking care of a gentleman going through DT's. The CNA came to get me and said he laying under his bed and wouldn't come out. I went in the room and asked what he was doing under there. He said...

  4. AANP Certfication Exam ( I failed it)

    Dixiecup replied to ERandAestheticFNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Something just does not seem right here. I always thought that failing the test was the exception instead of the norm, but it seems like tooooo many people are failing of late. I think they need to...

  5. AANP Certification Exam

    Dixiecup replied to Dixiecup's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Don't wait. It tells you absolutely nothing and is of no help at all. Start doing the CE's right away to get it over with. They might help with the test but honestly, not much. I reapplied...

  6. how to gain confidence

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

    Wow, that's horrible! I have all kinds of people to ask questions and they all happily answer my questions all day long! Doesn't sound like a very friendly

  7. ANCC

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

    I'm praying for you Kelley. The AANP is definately more clinical based. Good

  8. fear of vomit?

    Dixiecup replied to maggijo's topic in General Nursing

    I also hate vomit but as you stated, I REALLY can't stand the wretching and associated noise. I don't understand why this has to happen. I hate to vomit myself and will try to put it off as long as...

  9. DUMB question!! But really...

    Dixiecup replied to itsnever2L8's topic in General Nursing

    Sad, but true. I learned very little in actual nursing school besides the bookwork portion. When I did clinicals it seemed there was never many opportunities to do procedures on live patients either....

  10. Rent, car, school... how did you pay/manage?

    Dixiecup replied to Sophiamez's topic in General Nursing

    It IS possible to work on the week-ends but there is a LOT of studying to do in nursing school. ANYONE can get a federally funded stafford loan. It has nothing to do with which school you go to. They...

  11. New NP...second-guessing diagnosis

    Dixiecup replied to Ryan508's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Been on the job two weeks now. I totally here where you are coming from! Since I'm on the thirty day thingy, fortunately someone is reviewing all my charts. So far so good! Got a little wild one day...

  12. non-psych NPs and psych meds

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

    I live and work in a rural area. I just started as a FNP but all the places I did clinicals, most of the providers prescribed psych meds in one way or another. I've been around it a lot and have some...

  13. Please be honest!

    Dixiecup replied to kalinka's topic in General Nursing

    I just got my FNP degree but started as an LPN in 1988. I remember when I got my first paycheck I actually felt guilty, I thought it was way too much

  14. Why does HR mess with people's heads

    Dixiecup replied to esunada's topic in General Nursing

    Most of them are disorganized for sure! I just got my FNP degree and luckily was offered my dream job a week later! Filled out all the paperwork they requested. They emailed me a couple of times...

  15. Help! What, How to prepare for a Job

    Dixiecup replied to ehlay's topic in General Nursing

    I can tell you what NOT to wear. Shorts and a pair of flip flops! (sorry, I've seen it happen). They may just take your application and call you for an interview on a different day, but I would wear...

  16. Need Advice on FNP school!

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

    Almost every program I looked into wanted letters of recommendations from

  17. How did you pass the ANCC certification exam?

    Dixiecup replied to beckyfnp's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I don't get this either. I took the AANP and I am applying for the reciprocity (thanks, I didn't know what it was called!). My employer is paying for

  18. How did you pass the ANCC certification exam?

    Dixiecup replied to beckyfnp's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I guess another good reason to take the AANP is there is not waiting period to retest. I failed the first time and took it for the second time exactly six weeks later so my study material from both...

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

  20. social networks and work

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

    I don't friend anyone and everyone I work with just because I know who they are. But if we are REALLY good friends of course I will add them. People don't realize FB is an open book for anyone to...

  21. How did you pass the ANCC certification exam?

    Dixiecup replied to beckyfnp's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Kelley, so sorry, I know how you feel. I recommend the AANP even though I had to take it twice. I also found the Zerwekh excellent but recommend reviewing several for more information. What really...

  22. Nursing Students Unite

    Dixiecup replied to Alexis4's topic in General Students

    It's been a long time since I was a nursing student, but I do seem to remember you get out of it only as much as what your instructors put in it. I see no reason for instructors to be so hard nosed...

  23. Good luck on your test this week!!!

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

  24. Got my dream job!

    Dixiecup posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    After the ordeal I went through to pass the exam I was hesitant to post. I kept thinking they were going to call and say it was a mistake and withdraw the offer! I had an interview with a rural clinic...
