Okay, so I have posted on here before that I just got hired as a new grad NP with Evercare/United Healthcare. I am in my second week of orientation, which has been overwhelming, and I am mortified to start on my own. The company has a great support s...

Okay, I know a lot of people have been chatting about this under similar topics, but I am hoping someone will respond to this one (or please DM-message me on my acct). I am taking the ANP exam on 3/22 through AANP; I have gone to a review course thru...

It's really alarming to see my own profession not understanding the implications of Obamacare. With the changes to be implemented with Obamacare, FSAs will be PHASED OUT. they won't be needed. If you think about it, you shouldn't need one in the firs...

Okay. So. I had my first interview today. I just passed my AANP/ANP boards. Applying for licensure in my state, and taking GNP boards next month. I on a whim emailed the NP that set up a clinical rotation with Evercare-under United Helathcare-they ro...

Okay. Here's a different scenario for ya. So I was in a situation today where my company had a going away party for one of the NPs that is leaving and moving on to another job. This is very corporate-and we are all eith NPs or PAs that cover/managed...

I had such a hard time finding a willing/able preceptor it delayed my completion of my program by 6 mos. Very, very frustrating. The school does nothing to help. Which was odd to me. (I'm paying for what?) And even if you found one, sometimes it just...

I didn't drink-there were others that did. I just got hired! Not screwing that up. I agree. Just wondered......never faced that before.

It's not on-call for an acute care facility. Not justifying it-I am just wondering if this is more of a corporate/social etiquette issue. I'm so new with the corporate atmosphere that this may be commonplace, but I was just curious what everyone else...

While I am sure that this has been discussed before-I got a job offer and will be negotiating pay/etc with the recruiter tomorrow. This is a my first NP job-and in looking at the salaries out there-I am a bit discouraged. I thought $80k was reasonabl...

While I may be reiterating some of the above information, I believe the DNP role is what will eventually replace the ANP, GNP/FNP roles. Many universities are phasing out their ANP/FNP programs and going to a DNP program. I just graduated from UMASS ...

Has anyone worked for Evercare? I accepted the job with them-they do what I truly wanted to do. My starting wage was above and beyond what I ever dreamed of, especially for a new NP grad. It will be hard work and I am mortified of this being so new t...

Thank you TraumaRus. They have already said d/t me being a new grad my case load will start at about half what the usual is. They did say bonuses are already offered, and they do end-of-life discussions all the time. I'll see what the recruiter says....

Hi Tinabear- My post-master's program was a dual track- ANP/GNP, and my goal is geriatrics, so I registered for both exams. Seems like most employers aren't too interested in what you have-so long as it's an NP. But I already paid for it-might as wel...

Anyone ever hear of this happening? So I took my ANP boards for AANP last Thursday 3/22. I have of course been watching my account online at the AANP website, anxiously awaiting it to say I have passed and I can get my documentation-I signed on today...

Thanks to both of you. And you both are right. I remember my first day as a new RN grad-walked right into critical care. I thrived with that-likely jitters. Yes, indeed will go more prepared next time. Definitely a learning experience-practice is goo...

No worries guys. I passed-as Coollittleme said above-my status changed too. I did call them again the next day, and the AANP said there was some odd computer glitch, and if your prelim said passed, you indeed passed. All is good. Whew. Whew...breathe...

Just wanted to update everyone-PASSED AANP ANP Today! Well, that's the preliminary. I am hoping that AANP doesn't send me a letter to the contrary! What would I say was the most effective study guide? Probably Leik. And doing the apea.com exams-which...

Wow. Thanks to all of you. I feel a bit better. I have also been told by a few NP friends I have that the mock exams seemed much harder than the actual questions on the exam. I appreciate all of your input! Will indeed let you know how it goes....

Ashonman-I too had the same issue here in Oregon. It delayed me a full 6mos because I simply could not find one who would commit the the amount of hours to precept. I also had a few preceptors that simply did not work out. I did try one with a physic...

I am getting ready to take my exams as well-AANP for ANP and GNP through ANCC (my school recommended this). I lost my last post, not sure where it went so posting againg. I have been studying a lot, even took Fitzgerald's review course (2 days isn't ...
