  1. APA format - hard to crack!

    Cessna172 replied to ICURN7's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The PERRLA software helped tremendously. It kept a file of every reference I used, so it was easy to reference that again. I still had to use the APA book alot because the software didn't do...

  2. Collaborating physician problems

    Cessna172 replied to Othernothing's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Start looking for a different position. I have had really good experiences with physicians so far. There are some, apparently like the one you work with, who think they are superior and like to...

  3. FNPs! What area were you in when you were a nurse?

    Cessna172 replied to whomiskim's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I worked in the Er, PACU, but primarily in the ICU. It gave me alot of good experience, which I have learned that helped me get a job in primary care. Several docs have commented that I will be able...

  4. Walden University - the latest on the FNP program

    Cessna172 replied to msa9179's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I would like to add something to this discussion. I graduated last December from McNeese State Univ in Louisiana. The dean of our Np program left the univ at the same time, and now is teaching at...

    Cessna172 replied to Chisca's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    What tubing is reused for dialysis machines? It's been a very long time since I have seen it, but I thought the complete circuit was changed. Could someone please enlighten me?

  6. Anyone NOT work during NP program?

    Cessna172 replied to MarBug7's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I worked very little at the beginning of NP school, and basically quit work about a semester into school. Thankfully I had the financial means to do so, as it sounds like you do. As far as losing...

  7. What was your first NP job?

    Cessna172 replied to ENP1987's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I live in Louisiana. Please excuse all the typos on my previous post, my IPAD wannabe device was

  8. What was your first NP job?

    Cessna172 replied to ENP1987's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I also had difficulty finding a job. I got a job with the physician whom I did clinicals with, working along side his full time NP on Friday, which was the docs day off. It worked out well, and even...

  9. ONLINE NP students....

    Cessna172 replied to TheDude77's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I just wanted to clarify, included in my time spent studying was time spent on assignments as well. There were several semesters where I had 12 to 18 hours a day doing assignments and studying for...

  10. ONLINE NP students....

    Cessna172 replied to TheDude77's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I spent probably 30 to 40 hours per week, at least, but often

  11. Predictor test(s) for AANP

    Cessna172 replied to graduateFNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree with dark10gable. If you look on my previous posts, I detailed my study method, which included using the APEA website's review questions and a few predictor tests. I personally liked the...

  12. Allscripts EMR

    Cessna172 replied to Blindsided's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Bluelight, I would hate Allscripts too if that was how it functioned when I use it. It doesn't do that at the clinic where I use it. Everything automatically saves, and I constantly flip between...

  13. Allscripts EMR

    Cessna172 replied to Blindsided's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Perhaps it depends on the way it is set up. We use it at the clinic, and it is easy to use. What problems are you having with it? It's not cheap

  14. Louisiana NP's

    Cessna172 replied to Corey Narry's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I wish I knew firsthand what other states were like to work in like you others do. Thanks for taking an interest in this. Today I was telling my brother about this, he's an optometrist here in...

  15. Louisiana NP's

    Cessna172 replied to Corey Narry's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Welcome to the backwards, good ole boy state of Louisiana! It's home for me, so I don't think I'll be moving, but when I heard of that proposed bill, I did think of getting out of this state. I'm...

    Cessna172 replied to vicky82's topic in General Students

    Congratulations!

  17. Help here

    Cessna172 replied to Gonesilent13's topic in Nurses Recovery

    For what it's worth, used needles are one thing you would never find in a nurse's pocket/purse. Unless it was for their own use. Drug addicts know how to lie very well, and can be convincing as to...

  18. Looking to others to receive/offer support while in NP school

    Cessna172 replied to kathrn99's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Cessna172 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I haven't posted in quite a while, but I read allnurses almost daily. Yesterday, I took the AANP FNP test and passed, which of course was a relief. For the past several months the posts about people...
