    lhflanurseNP replied to Karegem143's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Like Karegem143, I graduated on December 10th. Took my AANP exam today and PASSED on first try. I did Hollier and Fitzgerald reviews online and the APEA practice exams and test bank. It was pretty...

  3. Online NP school vs In class NP school

    lhflanurseNP replied to ShifraSaraRice's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I did 100% online due to the remoteness of where I lived to avoid the long drive back and forth to a traditional school. It is hard work. There are things you miss out on, especially in regards to...

    lhflanurseNP replied to mosaicism105's topic in Male Nursing Students

    What a wonderful outlook. I have always counted male nurses as part of the "tribe". Being a nurse, male or female, requires hard work and

  7. dont understan DNP

    lhflanurseNP replied to Mvillam's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    KellyRN2013, thank you for clarifying your stance. You are correct. If a currently licensed MSN-NP returns for a DNP, they do not need to be "recertified" and it does not change the scope of...

  8. dont understan DNP

    lhflanurseNP replied to Mvillam's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    "But when you go back for your doctorate, there is no certification exam for that. It is an academic program and you earn your doctorate by completing the course work not by an exam". Sorry...

  9. Preceptor Finding Blues

    lhflanurseNP replied to RebeNurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I can sympathize. When I started, one of my preceptors passed away suddenly, another one developed cancer and had to quit the practice, and the third just up and retired! Luckily I live in a small...

  10. To remain as an RN w MSN or to proceed to be an FNP

    lhflanurseNP replied to ms smile's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    There were several times I questioned if I was actually learning anything, but once I got into clinicals, things started to "click". I have been told that confidence comes with time. If you truly...

    lhflanurseNP replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    For information purposes, I completed the ANP program and total cost...classes, clinical fees, and practicum fees was $27,736.00. It will be a little more as the hourly cost has gone up. Without the...

  13. AANP and ANCC Exams

    lhflanurseNP replied to elaine56's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    As anh06005 suggests, look at the answers and consider which are "true" and which are "false". This helps identify the "except" answer. I too had problem with this and have worked hard. I am doing...

  14. Failed AANP/Should I take Kaplan Review

    lhflanurseNP replied to ERNurseatheart's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I took Hollier's review during my last class. I am now taking Fitzgerald's (online) and she is pretty good about showing HOW to read the question and rationalize the answers. The online program is...

  17. Books

    lhflanurseNP replied to klhmom's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I used the ISBN numbers and searched. Sometimes I found new books for just a couple of dollars more than used. You will find used books in all sorts of conditions, when I did get a used book, I was...

  18. Informatics and Nurse Practitioners

    lhflanurseNP replied to husker311's topic in Nursing Informatics

    You also need to consider your CEU requirements. For the 5-year recertificaiton, I believe you must have so many "clinical" hours and that may be difficult unless you pick up some PRN time....

  20. Collaborative MD agreement and fees

    lhflanurseNP replied to dbb37128's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have heard of this...even here in Florida. One of the main reasons the medical group in the state lobbies to keep NPs from having autonomy! I have heard of anywhere from $1200.00 to $4500.00....

    lhflanurseNP replied to Happynurse12's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  24. Online vs residential

    lhflanurseNP replied to Happynurse12's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  25. NP clinically

    lhflanurseNP replied to Danga's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    As mentioned above, if you are going to do primary care, you will be hard pressed to find a primary care clinical setting that does not work beyond Monday through Friday. A few may have extended...
