I am very close to completion of my AGACNP program. I'm doing clinicals with a hospitalist group. They have offered me a job after obtaining my license. I'm scared of looking stupid in front of them. I don't want them to think they've hired a complet...

I live in Mississippi. I am scheduled to graduate from an AGACNP program next month. I have a job offer with a hospitalist group. They have offered a rate of $44.15/hr. Is this the average beginning salary or should I ask for more? Just starting off...

Hello, I'm in an acute care NP program. I was just wondering what any of might have taken to clinical with you. I have an iPad that I want to take but I need a few other things too. I was thinking about getting either a clipboard that has the storage...

I applied for FNP and ACNP when I applied to school. We were told to give two choices. I got into the ACNP program. I just finished my first clinical in an internal medicine office. I loved it so much I didn't want to leave. I have had my share if ho...

Looking for a little advice here. After this semester I have two more in the ACNP program at UAB. Has anyone used the Barley home review? I want something to help during school as well as to study for boards. This program is expensive. I don't mind b...

Thanks. I didn't see the spelling until after I hit send. Lol

I have done dialysis now for 13 years. I currently work for Fresenius. They have a very extensive orientation program. I've never heard of dialysis school. But, that's what got my attention to this post. I find that they even have such a school very ...

I'm scheduled to graduate at the same time, May, 2014. I'm at UAB in the adult acute care- gerontology program. I'm just starting my first clinical this summer. I was planning to start next week but now they're telling me I have to do a class for the...

I took it at UAB online. You really can't cheat much because they time the exam. We didn't write any papers in this class.

I stay at the Doubletree

I live in Mississippi. I work 30+ hours/week. I take call so it varies. I have not had any problems so far with clinical placement. You don't start clinical until the last three semesters. I have my first clinical setup to start next month and just s...

You are going to love the program! I'm finishing my first year there in the ACNP program

Thanks so much. I really appreciate your help. The assignment is to choose a procedure we are learning this semester and describe the pros and cons, the procedure, etc. The part I'm having difficulty with is that we are to explain how we will maintai...

Hello everyone. I need some information please. I am in ACNP school and have an assignment to describe how I will maintain my skills adequately after graduation. Also, how will I develop a QA plan for demonstrating my skills level. Is it a requiremen...

I feel like it is impossible to keep up with all the reading that I have to do. I am so behind and midterm is next week. It doesn't help that my son that is in the second grade is doing poorly in school and needs tons of help in the afternoon. I'm of...

Oh just thought of something. You will have to go to campus 1-2 times a semester once you are in advanced assessment

I'm in my 4th semester of the ANCP program. I have worked 30+ hours/wk throughout the program. I haven't started clinicals yet. I start next semester. You will find your own preceptor and they just tell you how many hours a semester you need. They do...

Hey all! I'm in an ACNP program. I applied and placed this as my second choice and FNP as my first. I've been out of ICU for 15 years. I'm having difficulty with hemodynamics. Does anyone know where I can get a good review in this area? Our text real...

I haven't started clinicals yet but I would think it's a serious learning experience. If you diagnose wrong it's a chance to learn from it. You'll do great!

Thanks for the encouragement. I have decided to change my attitude. I'm going to make it!! One way or another it can and will be done. I'm praying hard.

I just failed a midterm. The worst part is it wasn't even one of the harder classes. It was Issues in advanced practice. I did ALL the reading, I even skimmed back over everything again before taking it. I've just had so much going on lately. My chil...

Thanks to everyone for the encouragement. I guess we all go through this at some point. Maybe we can all encourage and advise one another. That's why I joined this forum. Have a great day everyone!!
