    Browndog replied to samarooni's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thanks.......good advice. A bit easier said than done, but good advice. In fact, I am either getting more comfortable or more burned out. I called AANP today and moved my exam to a closer date. I...

  5. AANP exam--prep for adult NP?

    Browndog replied to samarooni's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  7. What kind of a person works Acute Care?

    Browndog replied to clearly's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Kristie, Sorry to be off topic on this thread, but I have been accepted into the Vandy ACNP program for this fall and have some questions. Would it be possible to discuss the program off-line with...

  10. Doctor or Nurse Practitioner??

    Browndog replied to curlysin's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I will try again. I agree wholeheartedly with shisalion. If think that if I should hear one more theory, write one more paper, or be presented with one more nursing diagnosis such as "hopelessness...

  11. Vandy MSN - Clinical Experience

    Browndog replied to Browndog's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    First off, I'm not an alum. That said, in my research, I have not heard any positive comments about the bridge program. In fact, quite contrary. I had one doctor state that she "would not hire a VU...

    Browndog replied to hcmanp's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Browndog replied to celle507's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am just curious, what part of the country are you located in, and how difficult is it to land a job as an NP?

  21. New, looking to talk with NPs

    Browndog replied to Roaen's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am quessing that you either attended Belmont or Union. Would you mind discussing your program as I am entering an accelerated program in Nashville this fall and could use a "heads up".

    Browndog replied to Browndog's topic in Male Nursing Students
