I just wanted to share my thoughts as many of you are taking your boards soon. I passed my ANCC FNP exam today. In January I sent my application to ANCC and pre-registered to have my transcripts sent from my school to both the ANCC and BON. I graduat...

I am a FNP in WA and work as a inpatient hospitalist. :)

I purchased my designated pharmacology CME through mycme.com

Hi I graduated from Gonzaga's FNP program in May of 2013. I loved the program as I was able to work full-time through out. I had 3 job offers before I even graduated and I do believe attending a well-known university helped me stand out among others....

I took ANCC FNP exam last month - I wrote a fairly detailed post about it if you're interested. I used the fitzgerald book and the ANCC study book (i purchased directly from the site) which I found was very helpful. It is essential to know the variou...

If she had one last year at diagnosis and it was negative for hpv/atypical cells then I would probably wait until age 21 to repeat unless there was indication for further testing which I believe is immunocompromised states or HIV.

I think it is helpful to think with each patient: 1. Why are they here? 2. What is the goal today? 3. How can I assist in reaching the goals to discharge etc.? Reading the H&Ps, progress notes and consultations are extremely helpful and I highly...

I did not receive a test score when I finished the real exam - I don't know if they send it out with the certificate and pin, but i havent received those yet. I think anything >350 is a great goal with those tests - so good job!

Did you already have your ANCC validation of education form filled out and sent in by your university?

In regards to the test scores on familynpprep.com: Test 1: 368 Test 2: 405 Test 3: 427 Test 4: 431 Test 5: 396 Hope that helps? My goal was to get over 350 on the test because that was the passing score I think... Soundofmusic: what is ANCC waiting f...

You know, i thought it was helpful but not "$150 helpful." I started to memorize the questions and answers which is counterproductive and I saw a lot of the same questions multiple times while doing practice exams. If I were to do it again I would pr...

I just graduated as an FNP and had 3 job offers w/ 2 of them being unacceptably low in my opinion. As a staff RN I make $30/hr w/ only 4 yrs experience. Job offer #1 was for an orthopedic clinic (assisting in surgeries as well as clinic) with 70k bas...

Hi Lynn I decided to withdraw my application from AANP - don't really see a point in taking it anymore. Best of luck to you!

On my unit we provide primary care nursing. So, CNA work is RN work as there is no other healthcare provider besides the RN. I have actually learned to love providing intimate aspects of nursing care...which in my opinion includes CNA work. Besides, ...

I would have offered to get her new pills and if she declined and wanted to eat them off the floor...fine by me! I would not have documented it anywhere and I probably wouldn't have given it a second thought.

There is a liquid Gabapentin and it has to be refrigerated, ask the MD to order that.

I have one year left of my NP program and have worked full-time throughout. I do not have any kids. The first year I worked 8 hour shifts 80pp. I realized that once I started clinicals this would be impossible. Luckily I was able to move into 12 hour...

Hi On my unit we have a Code Stroke Coordinator RN who assumes the role of code stroke RN and other various duties such as gathering info re: our stroke patients, whether guidelines were met etc. On the days and weekends that she is not on the unit, ...
