Hi folks! I am working on getting my own business up and running to have a part time private practice as an FNP and lactation counselor. Apparently New York State takes the longest to get a PLLC approved - 4-6 months basically! I forgot to take this ...

Hi all! I will be switching some vacation days to conference days and am trying to figure out which online CMEs to do. I am in primary care at an FQHC. Some of what I'm considering: -Various Fitzgerald courses, including lab interpretation and seve...

I’m in NYC. I am no longer at bedside but I have been in touch with people at my old hospital. She said that there are basically ICU beds all over the hospital, and patient beds in the atrium where I used to eat lunch. She is an infectious disease do...

I am set to (finally!) finish my FNP Master's in May 2018 (kinehurah, knock wood, ptu ptu ptu, insert any other superstitious thing to say here). I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with doing an NP fellowship at PM pediatrics or Community He...

For posterity, in case anyone comes looking to this post for answers, I'll update with "the real deal." They DID indeed have lockers. They had me show two ID's and held on to one of them. They had me empty out my "phone wallet," turn off my phone ...

Hi - maybe this is a long shot but I am looking for the real deal on this and maybe someone on here will have experience..... I am going to be taking my FNP AANP exam in the times square location this week. I see in the email it says that there will...

I start the day with one or two almond milk lattes. It's not food but it's somewhat filling and gives me the caffeine/hot drink I need to start the day. Bring stuff along to eat easily and quickly when you feel like you need more: bananas, cheese s...

Hi all! I have been offered 150 hours of clinical at my local CVS minute clinic. The clinic is relatively new, and we do also have urgent care places as well as a hospital and various medical offices nearby, so I'm not sure how much action it gets......

My school applied us all. I think CVS is under the impression that I myself applied, but I just did what my school told me to do. I think it is too late to get it for spring 2018, as they already sent out the acceptance emails. Here is their websi...

I applied for the program and am anxiously/excitedly awaiting word on my admission. Anyone else here who applied for the program? (I was able to find another post like this but there haven't been any responses there, or any answers to my response f...

Thanks, I appreciate it.

Hi canuckRN2. Due to very unfortunate events in my family life, I had to take a leave of absence from school last spring, and I'm not sure when I will be going back. I loved the program while I was there, loved it. The first FNP cohort will be gra...

I always have pronounced de-breed, and have always heard it pronounced that way. But my father in law is a podiatrist, and he says it to rhyme with bride. Therefore my husband says it that way too. Although I suppose it must be an alternative pronunc...

A very minor mistake! No harm, no foul. While we're learning of course we aren't always going to do everything perfectly - that's the way it goes. As mistakes go this was pretty benign. And I once handed a nurse an IV bag I'd mixed, and I'd been a...

Well opportunities depend on what's going on where you are and, possibly/eventually, what you make for yourself. I wonder if you have enough hours of breastfeeding assistance in your previous employment to count towards becoming an IBCLC? If you work...

I don't disagree with the other commenters, but here's one devil's advocate point: as a FNP you can care for babies as well as their moms. Then if you also went for IBCLC (lactation consultant) you could do the primary care for both the mom and the...

I just started FNP full time, and have 2 boys, ages 5 and 7. So far I've only done one 6-week semester, which was very intense. I only worked one shift the whole 6 weeks (I'm per diem - they told me I had to work at least twice but I ended up cance...

ps! i am all for coffee on the 8th! it depends what time though, but if it's early enough it's a possibility. i'd have to be back in my neighborhood by 3, unless i try to call in some favors and i'm already calling them in so that i can go to the ...

burnshdp!!!!! hooray!!!! for some reason allnurses stopped sending me updates on posts, so i didn't see this but luckily jen did and told me the great news! that is so exciting!!! we got a bunch of info last week(??? - everything's a blur), incl...

where i work, we only have controlled substances in the pyxis. most of the patient's meds come in a drawer specifically for them (not in the pyxis), but when we need percocet, ativan, etc, we have to get it from the pyxis and each time you access a ...

i vote for D. definitely not B! babies, especially in the beginning, are very all-encompasing. it's a 24 hour per day gig! tbh, when my kids were born i wasn't working or in school, AND i have a very supportive/responsible-around-the-house husband...

where i work we have 6 patients each when we have normal staffing and a full house, on day shift. if we're short staffed we could have 7 patients! and we are a busy med-surg floor. it's a matter of organizing, prioritizing, working quickly, multi...

i found out - they aren't going to have that theory class at all. they're going to integrate theory within the other courses and instead we're going to do a 3 credit course "mental health across the lifespan". (NYU person who is also a mom with a k...

hey guys, any word? i was able to confirm, btw, that they are only taking 20 students. ps - jen, i was thinking about your housing question and just wanted to add... you probably know this already but NYU campus isn't a campus in the traditional sens...

Hi all! I've applied for the NYU FNP program, hopefully to start in May(!). It's been a LONG time since I've been in school and am wondering about how people generally take notes and/or record lectures. I'm imagining bringing my laptop for note-ta...
