Who has a degree in general nursing you? My degree clearly says Master of Science Family Nurse Practitioners Cum Laude. What your friend has is probably a BSN. What you Have besides a big mouth and a propensity to put fellow NPs down. You are an educated Fool period and should be ashamed.

FNPs are not generalists. I never heard of the term. We work everywhere except Acute care, there are acute NPs. Yes you are and you referred to yourself as being ... The only smart one. It is the cohorts not the FNP. Your post is negative and rags on NPs, that are not Psych, I guarantee YOU could not do what we do caring for all patients throughout the Lifespan. I am an FNP, in school getting my DNP and I dont worry about what a other NP does and like I said I have never seen or heard doctors talk about other doctors regardless, nurses seem to be the regulars who display that behavior, and again, you are oneid them. Good night and get some integrity in the sister or brotherhood of caring about how you come across .... I think being an NP has gone to your head.

I am 56, just graduated FNP Master's University of Texas Houston, with honors and inducted into Sigma Theta Tau International, nursing scholar. 1. You will have to have a GRE or MAT-if score is not the minimum you may enter on probation 2. You need to go and take a Pathophysiology couse which will prepare you for Advanced Patho. And also would be a good idea to take a statistics class, nursing statistics before you go that will raise your GPA and it will be something you need and it will prepare you fir nursing research. 3. Most graduate schools require a 3.0 but I think UT dropped theirs. I got my BSN from UT in 2002 at 42 after 11 yrs an LPN, now I am a Doctor of Nurse Practice Student, so go for it you are not too old,

First of what is a general NP, we all have an area of practice we specialize in just as doctors do. I am a family nurse practitionet and we are taught in all areas across the entire lifespan and psych is a very small part if our training and we do not do clinicals in psych, if we choose to we can go to school another 16 months and get another Masters. If an Fnp, APN or GNP choose to work psych of course it is a learning process. One thing I have learned in the 25 years of being a nurse is to up lift nurses, not bad mouth or put them down like you are doing. I can only imagine how you treated new nurses or nurses you have precepted. I have not found one doctor who actually sit around talking bad about another doctor, only self- righteous know it all nurses who spend their time looking at what others are doing only to judge them opposed to assisting, conferring with them and build them up. Lady you need a reality check, serously.

I am shocked so many people failed AANPC, people in my class failed Hesi and Apea which makes no sense. I took the test in 1 hour 45 minutes. It was straight forward. The best study tools are Leik and you must read it from front to back. Also I used Hesi prep Apea because we had to pass it at UT. But THE most helpful tool was ... Medical Board Review and Question Bank - BoardVitals this is like Gold!!!!! it has guides and test bank of 1800 questions for Aanc and Aanp. I did AANP Family Nurse Practitioner AANP Exam Review Family Nurse Practitioner Board Review (FNP Exam) - 9 CEUs
