Hello everyone. I just passed my ANCC board certification exam and received my certification letter in the mail. However, my FNP program was not very clear on the steps needed to be able to practice and work once graduated. They only told us we neede...

So, am I correct that in Florida you need to renew your APRN license every 2 years (same CME requirements as RN) and then renew your board certification every 5 years? That would mean every other re-certification you would need to renew license 3 tim...

Yes, the FNP classes do count towards your CME for the general requirements, but of course you still need to take the usual HIV, Domestic Violence, Medical Errors, Laws, Human Trafficking, etc. in addition to general requirements. At the end of...

Well, doing it for the first time and when your program just states you need to pass your boards and get DEA number to practice one takes them at face value. Also, when getting your RN license all that is required is that you pass your NCLEX. So, ass...

Well if you can apply for both at the same time, wouldn't that mean you didn't have an active RN lisence since you are applying for both at the same time? I hope this is an option so I can just supply them with the info from accredited program and bo...

So, I need to reactive my RN license to apply for my APRN license? Seems kind of redundant since the one you are applying for supercedes the RN. I hope that is not the case that I need to reactivate the license just to apply. Seems like a waste of mo...

Hello everyone, While going through nursing school most text diagrams and mannequins show male anatomy. This includes cardiac aulsculation & respiration aulsculation locations as well as 4-lead and 12-lead ecg placement. Women with larger breasts...

That thread deals mostly with how to be courteous when doing the procedure. I know where the locations are when the patient has a flat chest for ecg and cardiac aulsculation, but women with bigger breasts kind of displace where you would normally lis...

Hello Everyone, I completed my ASN degree at the end of 2014 and was licensed early 2015. My end goal is to become a FNP so I immediately entered an accelerated RN to BSN program and completed it in August 2016. I would like to apply to NP programs b...

It's been a big change for me. Most of my time is spent studying Nursing Process I. You have a lot on material to read and try to absorb then material. Then go over teachers power points, and then making notes and taking practice quizes to help study...

Does anyone know what the "Evolve Student Life Resources" is for. I have a link and a code on our BC Online and wasn't sure what this was used for.

I thought day 2 was when we needed all the linen things like towels, wash cloth, twin sheets, pillow case. Also what were these Modules she spoke of that we didnt buy but could download?

I am a bit confused since there so many links and pages and they weren't to clear or stated deadlines. What nursing materials do we need to buy? All I saw was Stethoscope, Bandage Scissors, Penlight. I saw someone mention sphygmomanometer. Was this a...

Thank you for clearing this up. I was getting worried when an email regarding classes hadn't arrived yet. So now I know I don't have to worry about it since it wasn't meant for us.

Anyone know any info about North for scheduling? still haven't got anything in email

I'm surprised we are already suppose to register for classes for Fall before we even start summer. Not to mention not a word from Central or North through email...

Anyone from North get this email? I haven't received anything about registration for next semester yet.

Wait? Registration for fall for us is tomorrow or for those who are starting in the Fall? Because I havent received anything my email about that. Also for the supplies we need just double checking before I order them. Stethoscope, Penlight, Bandage S...

The medical portion of the paper work has been a bit of a pain. I went and got the TB test and Tetanus shot and got my titers done. But I need to get Hep B redone which is a series of 3 shots in 6months so I guess the first shot will have to suffi...

I just got done with going to statutory fingerprints. They gave me a confirmation of payment for me in an envelope and a copy of the form I filled out. Am I suppose to add both to the documents or give the one in envelope to the school
