  1. DEA Registration Multiple States

    NJprisonrn replied to resilientnurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thanks for asking and answering this question. I was wondering this in case I take a job that requires me to cross state lines. This forum is the

  2. Why the NP degree will be the next MBA with 7 simple, quick reasons

    NJprisonrn replied to chillnurse's topic in Advanced Practice

    My husband has an MBA and I have an FNP. I can't disagree on all of these points. However, I must say that my MSN was WAY harder to achieve than his MBA. I do wish there were less schools about,...

  3. Petition to Force NP Programs to Provide Preceptors

    NJprisonrn replied to futureeastcoastNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I would sign this petition. I don't know about other professions, but it seems terrible that students should have to find their own preceptor. What if they can't find someone, or have to make due...

  4. Littman II vs Ultrascope OR other favourite stethoscope?

    NJprisonrn replied to Julia77's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Gotta love my Littmann II. Lightweight and great acoustics. I got mine from Craigslist, new in the box for $50. I had an Ultrascope in nursing school, which I also liked. However, I think the...

  5. Am i ready for AANP exam

    NJprisonrn replied to mas21's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Just passed the AANP family exam!!! Floating on a cloud of relief! I did 7 total FamilyNP Prep tests with a high score of 81%. I also use the Necessary NP 1000 questions book. I found that the...

  6. Am i ready for AANP exam

    NJprisonrn replied to mas21's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You still have 2.5 weeks to study. Plus, all of your scores are in the passing range. 500 out of 800 is a 62%. It looks like you're doing OK. I am getting similar grades on my exam edge (FamilyNP...

  7. AG-ACNP new grad

    NJprisonrn replied to kathrn's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    From what I have heard, the online Fitzgerald is very similar to the live review. That's what I would do if there were no live reviews available to me, or if time were short. Best of luck to you....

  8. Barkley Review for Boards

    NJprisonrn replied to bebaRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    My school is suggesting this review. I just got the cds and so far I like them. I have also listened to some of the Fitzgerald cds. From my limited experience, I like to listen to Barkley better....

  9. Clinical attire

    NJprisonrn replied to MILOBRI's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Usually business casual with a lab coat. But like others have said, it depends on the site. In my ED rotation I wore

  10. Home stretch

    NJprisonrn replied to Cardiac-RN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    So close! This last semester has been the hardest ever. But I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Graduation in May, board review, then hopefully AANP in June. It's exciting and scary, so...

  11. NP Fellowship or Residency Program

    NJprisonrn replied to tampaflrn6's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am hoping to get into a residency. I think that they are going to be much more popular in the future. I graduate soon, and although I am having a great experience, I am feeling a lot of anxiety...

  12. Anyone go back to paper charts after EMR?

    NJprisonrn replied to AtomicWoman's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Ugh, paper charts can be quite annoying! We have them in my current job. Finding the correct chart can be an issue, as well as handwriting. However, my previous job had the slowest computers in all...

  13. Is NP School as Bad as Undergrad NS?

    NJprisonrn replied to lifelearningrn's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I feel that NP school is much harder, but more enjoyable than undergrad RN school. I find clinical to be more mentally taxing, yet I look forward to going. This is a direct contrast to dreading my...

  14. What to review before classes start

    NJprisonrn replied to adamRn79's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    School is going to be incredibly busy. Take time to relax while you can! But if you want to prep, I'd get a review book and practice doing questions. You'll learn some stuff while getting used to...

  15. What items/tools/stationery/gadgets does a student NP need?

    NJprisonrn replied to 2015's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Pocket notebooks, for sure. I use a new one for each clinical site. A pen light is always nice. I used me phone to record lectures. But that's about it, other than a

  16. Are you, or have you ever been an APN student?

    NJprisonrn replied to pacnwRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Going to Stockton in NJ. 6 months to go!!! My program is hybrid, so half online and half in class. I go to clinical about 2 days a week, so make sure you have a job situation that is flexible....

  17. Otoscope/Opthalmoscope Required for NP program?

    NJprisonrn replied to C40FNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I go to Stockton. We did not need to purchase these as the clinical sites generally have them. I bought a cheap one on ebay for practice, but really I just use the ones at the office. The only...

  18. Spring 2014 Graduates

    NJprisonrn replied to moonischasingme1's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    That is awesome news! I can't believe I'll be done in May. Clinicals are great. I feel like a real provider most of the time. I'm starting to look at jobs. It is very exciting/nerve

  19. So which school DON'T make you find your own preceptors?

    NJprisonrn replied to Road2CNO's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    UPENN does. Stockton also does a great job in placing people, which is where I go. These are brick and mortar programs. Not sure about online only

  20. Can SFNP be used?

    NJprisonrn replied to SandyRN1122's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I usually put APN

  21. Buying my first book:) APA book question

    NJprisonrn replied to BeeGeeRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Since I use a formatting program, I hardly use the book at all. I do use it occasionally, so please get the correct one. Mine says copyright 2010. Do yourself a favor and get a program. Why waste...

  22. Anyone (in any line of work) want to take a brief survey?

    NJprisonrn replied to Caitlin023's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    1) An interesting job that you enjoy 4 2) A boss who treats everyone the same, regardless of circumstance 3 3) Getting praise and other recognition for the work that you do 3 4) A job that is routine...

  23. What type of papers in NP school?

    NJprisonrn replied to SlyFoxRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    So many papers! We have theory papers (tedious 20+ pages), case studies (maybe power point, maybe written so say 5 pages), clinical paperwork (H&P, discussion of goals and differentials, usually...

  24. RN to Physical Therapy or Massage

    NJprisonrn replied to WildRoseRN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I was a massage therapist long before I went into nursing. It's not something that I wanted to do forever (I practiced for 11 years) but it is a great job. You can work for yourself or be an...
