Anybody else preparing for AANP exam found Leik questions in the back of her book relatively easier than other review questions such as APEA and exam edge?

Thank you. I just wanted to make sure. Her options for answers are also a bit obvious. In contrast, I found APEA Qbank to be a lot more challenging and indepth.

Base pay for neurosurgery is 115K. Thank you all for your suggestions. In many ways, Neuro is a much better option both pay and commute wise. But I decided to take the community healthy because I do not want to go back to school right away and get F...

Right! I should be grateful I have these offers. My gut says I will feel very fulfilled working in community health. But I will most likely be miserable due to the commute time. It also says I will most likely be miserable in Neurosurgery trying to k...

Thank you. You make a great point. I should focus on learning general medicine while given a change. I can always chose specialty down the road.

I was recently offered 104k which is pretty standard for my area. I was told by one of my instructors to not short sell yourself just because they are community health. They still have the revenue. Some of the higher up positions even get bonuses. Be...

Only thing that got me was the rains. But you said you love gray days so I think WA will be a perfect fit for you. Awesome places to visit. It probably wont be hard for you to find a job after your 2 years ED experience either. The only other con th...

Although I am foreign myself (US educated), I completely understand your point. However, I would like to highlight the point that foreign nurses come to US for work because they can. Meaning US govt. has kept its portal open for such profession citin...

Holly cow! What Nursing Shortage is that Bill talking about? As for my understanding, there is no Nursing Shortage in US so passing a bill to create 20,000 visas is total bogus. And I was thinking your original post is irrelevant for current situatio...

@ R*Star*RN Thank you for the info!!
