  1. Character Letter safe to write in this situation?

    Dixiecup replied to SE_BSN_RN's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    I disagree here. Character letters ARE usually written by friends or co- workers where letters of REFERENCE are written by management. And no, all nursing homes are NOT like this. I work in an...

  2. Too many Applicants....

    Dixiecup replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I get so many applications that leave portions totally blank. Even whole pages, what's up with that. Fill in all the blanks

  3. Is 53k for school worth it?

    Dixiecup replied to Dragonsmack's topic in General Nursing

    I've been a nurse for 25 years, RN for 12 and I make 43K a year. If you have a job making 62K,I'd keep

  4. Any body had to redo nursing school?

    Dixiecup replied to hermity's topic in General Nursing

    Please don't give up. I had your problems literally tenfold and you just have to keep trudging forward. Make it the PRIORITY in you life over everything else. It will only last for so long, then it's...

  5. AANP Certification Exam

    Dixiecup replied to Dixiecup's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    This is so freaky! I just got this book from a friend and I am reviewing it now! I just spoke with her on the phone and she says she has the CD and I am going to get it. She said it was very helpful....

  6. Need help with NP resume

    Dixiecup replied to kimaboogie00's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm surprised you didn't have to complete one in your program. I had to complete one for a grade in my program and it was a big help. As a matter of fact it is the one I am using now for my job...

  7. Describe your dream LTC

    Dixiecup replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  8. AANP Certification Exam

    Dixiecup replied to Dixiecup's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yes, I am sticking with AANP and I am confident I will pass when I take the re-test. I got confirmation that my re-application was accepted and I should be getting my paperwork in about 5 days for...

  9. Are online NP programs good for the profession??

    Dixiecup replied to gerry79's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    When people ask me where I went to school I just say SLU (Saint Louis University). I don't elaborate and no one has ever asked further. My resume doesn't reflect that I attended an online program and...

  10. If FNP is my goal, what is a good RN specialty?

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

    You woudn't think you would bet a lot of different experience in a prison setting, but it is like a community of approx 3000 inmates with a variety of healthcare problems, just like on the street....

  11. FNP student nearing clinical tract time, and working fulltime

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

    Not to sound negative, but this is going to be very difficult for you. I was in the same situation and the last couple of semesters were a nightmare, trying to work full time and do clinicals. The...

    Dixiecup replied to Dixiecup's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I just today ordered he Hollier review book!I will be taking the AANP for the second time, do you think the Hollier book will help with that particular test. I am just grabbing straws at anything that...

  13. When to apply for first FNP job, in relation to graduation

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

    Then you have to take into consideration if you fail the test! Puts a whole new prospective on things! That is why I was hesitant to apply or interview for prospective jobs. I was terrified of not...

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

    I am not working as a NP yet (still trying to pass the test!) but I have a friend who has been working in a rural clinic similar to yours for a couple of years now. She was an ANP and went back to get...

  16. How to contact NPs for shadowing

    Dixiecup replied to Joe NightingMale's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I always got the best results by going through the office manager. They usually arrange thing like that. When I was trying to find places to do clinicals for school, I would get numbers from the...

  17. If FNP is my goal, what is a good RN specialty?

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

    This is just my personal opinion buy I don't think working in an office setting will be of much help with experience for FNP. As a nurse, you just fill rooms then leave. You are not in the exam room...

  18. Do Nurses in Recovery get hired for....

    Dixiecup replied to 2fast4uRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am so sorry to hear this. I am thankful I live in Missouri. If there is such a thing as a user friendly BON I guess Mo would be as close to it as you can get. They really do try and work with you....

    Dixiecup replied to Dixiecup's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  20. online nurse practitioner

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

    You get assigned an advisor and they set up a degree plan for you and your classes have to be taken in that order. I guess you can take as many a semester as you can handle but I only took two per...

    Dixiecup replied to Dixiecup's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Patrick21 Yes, I thought the Barkley review was a waste of my time and money. Like you, I counted about 3 questions on the test that I knew the answer from taking the review course. I emailed the guy...

  24. AANP Certification Exam

    Dixiecup replied to Dixiecup's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    They don't give you a very specific answer on where your weaknesses are. They have free CEU's on the AANP website. I am just doing all off them and sending them in. I am going to try the AANP one more...
