  1. How to let go

    BChapp3182 replied to BCgradnurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Dont forget to write in your notes that you explained what will happen to her by refusing to comply with tx. That you explained what smoking does and offerd help for smoking cessation, you discussed...

  2. Help for NP student....Rollercoaster

    BChapp3182 replied to Blessedx3's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I too used certification review books. The most helpful to me was Mosby, a thick green book. It's got every dx listed and a quick run down on what it is and what you need to do to tx it. I liked...

  3. Best path to take in pursuing a career in Nurse Practitioning?

    BChapp3182 replied to alcoop86's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Well, I'm not super positive on this but the route I took was an associates degree RN program, 2 years, then went right into the FNP program, 2.5 yrs. Now I know University of Miami has a 12-15 month...

  4. will i ever find a job

    BChapp3182 replied to pedspnp's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I know how you feel!! I've sent my resume out to the few jobs that exist in south Florida, no calls, no interviews. Seems like all the jobs want experience as an NP but that can't happen if I can't...

  5. How long from graduation to licensure?

    BChapp3182 replied to msmith's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would say it takes ANCC a month to authorize you to test, then a week to send the results to your state. After that, it's up to your state to issue a license. I live in FL and it's been a month so...

  6. Florida FNP

    BChapp3182 replied to wengreen's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am in south Florida, just got my license issued a few days ago. I am having a very difficult time finding a job. All the jobs seem to be in Miami (and you have to speak spanish) or in Northern...

  7. ANCC exam

    BChapp3182 replied to Violet29's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Congrats!! You must be so relieved! I take mine in less than 2 weeks and am really freaked out, like you were before you took yours. I'm glad not many vaccines, that's my weak

  8. I passed!!!

    BChapp3182 replied to BCgradnurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thank you for that response, it helps to ease my anxiety. I'm not using school notes either to study (too intense). I hate those all of the above questions, lol. I will check out the ANA...

  9. I PASSED

    BChapp3182 replied to nursetim's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Congrats!!! So what did you think of the exam? Super easy? Super hard? Weird

  10. I am second year FNP--need advice on work load

    BChapp3182 replied to Blessedx3's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Quit your job and get loans, unless your husband will take care of the kids, cooking, shopping, errands, cleaning, and everything else so you can just do clinicals and study. I worked my first year,...

  11. I passed!!!

    BChapp3182 replied to BCgradnurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yeahhhh!!! Awesome, congrats!! I take mine Aug 5, so spill you guts on how you prepared, types of questions asked, what you thought of the

  12. NPs doing median nerve blocks??

    BChapp3182 replied to JaimeeG's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This chiropractor sounds fishy to me. They are not even allowed to give an injection or break the skin in any way, or prescribe. So what is with the OR's and all this stuff that is obviously out of...

  13. This is absolutely horrible!!!

    BChapp3182 replied to msmith's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Don't forget it's going to be a minimum of 3 months after graduation before you can take your boards and get licensed. Perhaps the job market will change. It's slow in my area of south Florida as...

  14. should I take an FNP job in Florida?

    BChapp3182 replied to morganvibes's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am a new grad in south Florida. Recently an NP was left blank presigned rx slips and she was prosecuted for practicing medicine. She also would see the pt. write the script and have dr. sign. She...

  15. Need Advice on FNP school!

    BChapp3182 replied to amberthenurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I had very little RN experience before starting FNP school, mostly working in a med spa. I think the two roles are so vastly different that lack of RN experience is not going to hurt you. There were...

  16. Cosmetic / Aesthetic Family Nurse Practitioner

    BChapp3182 replied to alyxoxo82's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That varies state to state. My state recently passed a law stating only NPs and PAs can do it...you have to check with your state board of

  17. Covenant not to compete

    BChapp3182 replied to Sheri FNP-C's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would definitly not sign a no compete. You can alter it with something like should employment be terminated for any reason you agree not to solicit the practice's pts and not to take any "trade...

  18. Advice please

    BChapp3182 replied to pedspnp's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    First check your spam folder to see if the email, although in your outbox, got bounced back for some reason. If not, then politley send another email stating that the message you originally sent was...

  19. Cosmetic / Aesthetic Family Nurse Practitioner

    BChapp3182 replied to alyxoxo82's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi, as an RN I opened my own spa which eventually failed due to market and high overhead. It's a very tough field to get into, very competitive. Everyone assumes it's easy money so a new spa opens...

  20. Here's one I'll bet you don't hear every day

    BChapp3182 replied to chirodoc's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Seems like you would have a great edge to get into ortho type practice or to integrate family medicine into your existing practice. If I were you I'd just keep quiet about being a chiropractor. Like...

  21. Recruiting Agency

    BChapp3182 replied to tuckers19's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I've never used one but my cousin used to be one so she told me that the recruiter will negotiate your salary and contract for you (per your preset terms) and that it's in their best interest to get...

  22. Clinical Hour Requirement

    BChapp3182 replied to Spacklehead's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If I remember correctly, required hours are set by each state in order to qualify for a license in your specialty. My program and state requires 600 hours. We did 120 hours in each specialty (peds,...

  23. How difficult is FNP school?

    BChapp3182 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am currently attending my last semster at a private ivy league school. All I can say is my original class size was 34 students, 2.5 yrs later the graduating class consists of 8 people for the FNP...

  24. Study tips to help you remember

    BChapp3182 posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    Please list your tips to help you remember all we need to know for our exams. Here are mine. Smell something while studying (I rub an orange peel on the back of my hand for a light scent) then smell...

  25. Certification Review Class

    BChapp3182 replied to tuckers19's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have the APEA home study cds and found Amile Hollier to be worthwhile. However, I also just got the Barkley Review home course and it is so much more in depth, more review of content as opposed to...
