  1. Study time FNP

    newFNP2015 replied to adamRn79's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree with zmansc. I spend only as much time as necessary on busy work assignments for theory-based classes - writing papers, answering questions with my opinions, and responding to discussion...

  2. FNP clinical in an ER

    newFNP2015 replied to Floridanurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    My fast track ER was my first rotation and I wish I had the chance again to do some procedures. At that point, we hadn't had many skills labs and I was nervous to try without practicing. I have yet...

  3. RN to BSN to MSN-FNP or RN to MSN-FNP?

    newFNP2015 replied to Jcat117's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    As I am a student FNP at this point, I can't say for being out in the real world and practicing as an FNP. However, I feel that it would be difficult to begin working as a bedside RN and NP at the...

  4. Rn to Msn online programs

    newFNP2015 replied to mdonohue76's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    NP is also an MSN degree. There are several types of MSN including nurse practitioners, CRNAs, clinical nurse specialists, education, etc. NP is one specialty of MSN degrees. In addition, many of...

  5. Best RN experience for FNP

    newFNP2015 replied to Futurefnp88's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think all areas have something to offer when looking into NP preparation. I have a professor who likes to say the ICU and ED are the best preparation because of the degree of critical thinking...

  6. Chronic care at retail clinics?

    newFNP2015 replied to msn-fnp09's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    From what I have heard about most retail clinics, the NP is responsible for doing pretty much everything his/herself which makes follow-up more difficult. In this type of practice, I just don't know...

  7. Are textbooks this expensive????

    newFNP2015 replied to 2015's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I tend to wait until the first week of the semester and ask my professors which are REALLY required (sometimes different than what the bookstore will tell you) and if an older edition will suffice. I...

  8. Ohio or Texas

    newFNP2015 replied to cecej435's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am not in the job market as an NP yet, but there seems to be plenty of postings on Indeed for NPs in the Houston area as

  9. Completed BSN prior to applying?

    newFNP2015 replied to MBrickle's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree with many of the above posts - depends on school, try and see, etc. I am attending the same school for my MSN that I did for my accelerated BSN. They stressed that if we were interested in...

  10. Can an ACPNP work in a clinic setting?

    newFNP2015 replied to Papoya's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    From my understanding, PNP programs are dwindling with more focus being placed on FNPs in all clinic type settings. I know at my school, only FNP, NNP, and AGNP (Adult-Geri) are now offered. Many...

  11. Advanced Pathophys Textbook

    newFNP2015 replied to SIRN10's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I rented my text through Amazon. We used Pathophysiology: The Biologic Basis for Disease in Adults and Children by McCance. It is VERY detailed... more so than what we are required to know. Overall, I...

  12. Best Apple apps

    newFNP2015 replied to nursefin's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree about Epocrates being a great reference. On my iPad, I have Clinical Advisor, which has some interesting tools for clinical practice and a wealth of knowledge about many topics. I also have...

  13. What items/tools/stationery/gadgets does a student NP need?

    newFNP2015 replied to 2015's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am about to start my 3rd semester of FNP in the spring. I am required to wear a white lab coat for school. I have a NP pocket reference which I carry, but rarely use. I mostly use my stethoscope...

  14. University of Southern Indiana

    newFNP2015 replied to travelicu's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I applied for Fall 2013. At the time, the application information seemed scattered. They required two applications: one for SON and one for graduate studies. Some forms had to be sent snail mail as...

  15. University of Southern Indiana ???

    newFNP2015 replied to travkitty's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Just FYI, USI requires two separate applications... one for the SON and one for graduate studies. I was not aware at the time of application and was not considered because I did not apply to Graduate...

  16. UTMB Spring 2014 FNP

    newFNP2015 replied to Nmstan06's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The lack of information in a timely fashion is typical of UTMB. I will be starting my 3rd semester for FNP in the spring. My registration is open (just checked this morning), but if you don't have a...

  17. UTMB-Family Nurse Practitioner Program Summer 2013

    newFNP2015 replied to Emmedell's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I created a facebook group just now titled UTMB NP Summer 2013 Start. I wanted to include our colleagues in adult/gero as well since we will have many of the same core classes. Request to join and...

  18. UTMB-Family Nurse Practitioner Program Summer 2013

    newFNP2015 replied to Emmedell's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Has anyone in the Houston area started looking for proctors for testing? Not sure if this is something they will give us more information about at orientation or if we should already be

  19. April 2013 Caption Contest: Win $100!

    newFNP2015 replied to Joe V's topic in News, Announcements

    Mr. Jameson just got a big promotion at work. His wife told him not to get a big head about it... but apparently he doesn't

  20. UTMB-Family Nurse Practitioner Program Summer 2013

    newFNP2015 replied to Emmedell's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Finally registered! They didn't have me activated as a graduate student after they had linked the account to my UIN from my BSN program from back in the day. One less stress factor out of the

  21. UTMB-Family Nurse Practitioner Program Summer 2013

    newFNP2015 replied to Emmedell's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am still unable to register. They are having issues with my account and have several holds for no reason. It's getting really

  22. UTMB-Family Nurse Practitioner Program Summer 2013

    newFNP2015 replied to Emmedell's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I just tried, but mystar won't let me. I looked in the FAQ on how to register for classes and I don't have the proper links available. I guess I will wait and see what happens tomorrow and then I...

  23. UTMB-Family Nurse Practitioner Program Summer 2013

    newFNP2015 replied to Emmedell's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I contacted the MSN coordinator to see about when we would be getting further information. What she said was what we already know: Orientation May 2&3, classes start May 6. She said registration...

  24. Spicing up Orientation!!

    newFNP2015 replied to PICURNJessT22's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    I have seen gift bags with sharpies and personalized water bottles. Snacks and crystal light seem to be big in our unit. After work food and drinks have really made me feel closer to some of my co...

  25. Intralipid (20%) infusion administration

    newFNP2015 replied to harryalexx's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    I work in a CVICU at a children's hospital as well. We often use tpn as the major line in a manifold with milrinone, sedation, vasoactive, etc running through the manifold. We then put intralipids...
