  5. I am taking my prereqs. Which math should i take?

    I have to agree with Paul. More and more nursing, and healthcare, is being driven by evidence based practice guidelines. In order to really understand and appreciate the results of "studies" done on...
  6. Uuuuugh, APA!

    OP, for your online discussions....do the "post" in APA style then copy and paste the completed posting including your references into the discussion post section. Does that make sense? "No, I have...

  9. AANP HELP!!!!!

    I'm not familiar with the ANP exam, but I think that is associated with Barkley and have heard it mirrors the exam quite closely. For me, it was just doing the questions until I felt comfortable and...
  10. AANP HELP!!!!!

    Since you are familiar with the APEA review, I strongly recommend you sign up for the Q-bank and predictor exams. They are VERY helpful. I made flashcards of information and just kept going over...
  11. Can a new APRN only work PT or PRN?

    I am a little confused. Why do you have to be an APRN before you start your DNP program? Do your research. There are DNP programs that do not require you to be an APRN first. These may be better...
  12. AANP

    Congratulations,
  13. online NP schools..

    Campus visits are really a good thing. You get hands on time doing not only improved physical exams, but also suturing, etc. You may or may not get this in your clinical rotations. A few weekends a...
  14. Uuuuugh, APA!

    Does your program offer writing tutors? When I went back, I too got APA thrown at me. I turned in my papers about 3 days before the assignment was due to the writing tutor and she/he would return it...
  15. Personal Internet Access and NP programs

    Does your public library have strong internet connection? Some students I know had to utilize this option for

    Congratulations! Now you can take some well deserved deep relaxing
  18. Associates after Bachelors

    If your area supports ASN graduate RN jobs, there is no reason not too. The exam is the same regardless of the degree and your license does not reflect the degree type...just that you are a RN. That...
  19. Clinical experience

    As cayenne06 points out, this is NOT okay! Did the school provide this preceptor? If so, you need to talk to your adviser and instructor and ask for a new preceptor. Not everyone is cut out to be a...

    I saw the deal with the telephone during my clinical rotations. I thought it was VERY unprofessional and REFUSE to do the same in my practice setting. Although I do use my phone for looking things...
  24. Schools Still Offering MSN?

    I think many of the schools list the DNP programs, but if you dig a little deeper, you will find they still have MSN programs also. There is no definitive "law" that requires NPs to have DNPs, BUT,...
  25. South University FNP MSN program???

    ebcamille, I graduated in December and passed my AANP boards in January. I will be starting my practice in 2 weeks. Have gotten my NPI number and have applied for Medicare. I don't believe any...
