  1. feeling dumb

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

    Amilee Hollier has some great cds and books. I just ordered the Barkley review cds, have heard good things about them. Mosby has an FNP book that's about 600 pages and is a great quick synopsis of...

  2. feeling dumb

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

    I'm in my last semester FNP program and to all new students this is what I wish I would have done, it would have made me so much more prepared and given a better understanding of the material. Even if...

  3. Online program recommendations

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

    I have to chime in with my two cents here. I'm still an FNP student and once shared a preceptor with an online only student who was in her last semester. To put it in a nice way the girl was not...

  4. what are my ethical responsibilities?

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

    I think you should do something. Report your concerns to the board of nursing, they will investigate. They just had a special segment on the news in my area about pain clinics and showed people in...

  5. Aesthetics

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

    I did aesthetics full time as an RN. It is really easy, very socialable type work, lots of smoozing, lots of selling. Patients are unrealistic, demanding, agree to take the risks for s/e for stuff...

  6. Should I report doctor who yelled at me?

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

    Definitly say something to the doctor, if he starts acting like a jerk again report him. You have got to teach people how to treat you! If he thinks he can get away with yelling at you then what's...

  7. How do (or did) you study?

    BChapp3182 replied to daydreamer7130's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Since your doing well in the review books you might want to study the section on test taking strategies. I am at the same point in my education as you and my instructors are giving lots of exams with...

  8. NP Clinical Preceptorships

    BChapp3182 replied to psychonaut's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'll be done with my FNP program next semester. I've had to find all my own preceptors and it was always a very stressful thing. My school did provide a list of preceptors but the list was so...

  9. Graduate School - B grades - allways required?

    BChapp3182 replied to mbtran321's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    At my school a B is an 84, A a 92. Can only get a B and pass. Must have an 84 average on your exam scores to pass. Our tests are insane, 25 questions to cover chapters and chapters of detailed...

  10. babies or NP first?

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

    Well if you start your NP now in 2-3yrs you'll be done. Some schools even have a 1 year program where you go every day. I'd do it now before kids. You never know how your life will change after you...

  11. Stethoscope choice

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

    I have the cardiology III but a guy in my class has one of those electronic ones and I wish I would have purchased it instead. Especially as a beginner, listening to all the different sounds is hard...

  12. clinical

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

    Many MDs do this, I doubt you'll be abducted. It is the professional thing to do. Lots of students in my classes get preceptors this way. Just go, be professional, down to earth and honest. Make...

  13. preceptor help!!!!

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

    This is the worst part of NP school. Finding a preceptor, sush a stress every semester. What has worked for me is asking your school for a list of preceptors used in the past, contacting charitable...

  14. APA Style Papers--Computer software?? HELP!!

    BChapp3182 replied to NURSESTAR's topic in Florida Nursing

    I'm getting my MSN and have to write papers all the time. I first started out with the programs but eventually just decided to learn the APA format using the APA book. The programs have such a huge...

  15. South Florida LPN's

    BChapp3182 replied to a4432's topic in Florida Nursing

    I worked as an LPN in FL from 94-97. I found the most money to be in home health and agency nursing. I was making $15-$18/hr back then. I have a friend who went to LPN school with me and she works...

  16. NP Clinicals

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

    I just finished OB/GYN (did Adult semester before). I thought GYN was pretty straight forward, easy. I did so many pap smears/pelivcs/breast exams I could do them in my sleep! My adult class was...

  17. Ideas for Geri Preceptor

    BChapp3182 posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    I have been trying for about 3 weeks now to find a geriatric NP or MD preceptor. I've tried charitable organizations, county health department, nursing homes, private offices. Nothing. Class starts...

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

    I too have difficulty with soap notes. I found the most awesome set of books to help me, called "SOAP Notes" there are like 4 or 5 different ones. They are like $25 ea. on amazon. just do a search...

  19. dilemma for FNP

    BChapp3182 replied to johnson0424's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Why not contact a travel agency and ask to work as an NP? Or one of those recruitment firms-they sometimes fill temporary positions for NPs, I recently saw one on indeed.com to cover for an NP on...

  20. Is this realistic?

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

    There are tons of part time positions available. Don't let this stop

  21. NPs doing "hands-on" work such as suturing

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

    We were taught how to suture in school, also how to remove

  22. NP Salaries Realistically and grades!

    BChapp3182 replied to ncaru01's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    In south Florida I'm seeing jobs for new grads starting in the low $80k. That would be M-F in an office setting with no hospital calls. However, the cost of living here is very high. If your looking...

  23. Getting a MSN without a BSN

    BChapp3182 replied to tracie0305's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I too have BS in Biology, went to get my Associates in nursing, took maybe 1 extra class in nursing research and went right into the MSN program. I won't get a BSN, but feel I don't need it with the...

  24. NP student needs clinical site in Women's health

    BChapp3182 replied to Ryan508's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I feel your pain. A woman's health site is so hard to find! I'm doing WH this summer as well and after 2.5 months of looking for a site I finally got in with the public health department. Private...

  25. NP in Florida???

    BChapp3182 replied to val20's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm in the same boat you are. One year left of school. I am in FL. We can't rx controlled meds and have to have a collaborative agreement with doc just like most other states. From looking at the...
