Sick of shift work, ER, etc. There was an opening that looked pretty good in primary care so I was considering it. But the pay likely wouldn't have been enough.
Any Acute Care NPs move to primary care? I'm considering it for various reasons. No office experience to speak of other than minimal time during clinicals at a Cardiology office. Thanks.

the exams, when I took them, were at any testing center (pearson vue), and were multiple choice. the number varied but I think they were all 100+. I used studygroup101 and studied non stop. Study Guides
These are my mnemonics for the sim labs for the CPNE. they are longer than most as I wanted more steps included than I generally found in other mnemonics around. hope they help someone. MY CPNE mnemonics.doc

I know about 8 people who signed up with them and they all regret it. including the guy who gets it free because he got so many people to sign up. if you want it that bad just buy the binders off ebay. the only benefit I can think of to it is the rem...
I used the powerpoints from sg101, the excelsior practice exams and a couple books from my library. I basically studied the powerpoints from sg101 and practice exams and used the books to clear up parts I didn't understand.

I'm not sure what you mean about valencia or ucf. it's an a.s. in nursing from a regionally accredited college. the cpne is impossible unless you have examiners who don't know the study guide as well as they should and are willing to help to a certa...

I'm not in south florida, but neither is orlando so I guess I will answer. the tampa/lakeland area has openings as long as you have experience. otherwise there's not much. the few offers/interviews I received were for full-time positions. I was looki...

you can disagree all you want, but it gets results. 7 weeks for the nursing stuff, 2 for micro (which I did use other resources for). sg101 was lacking in the ls2 and ls3 content, but $58 for all the content is hard to beat. Completed Exams: [TABLE=w...
