  1. Recently failed ANCC n AANP

    newFNP2015 replied to Marie81's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I attended the APEA live review and listened to an old copy of Fitzgerald. I think the area that really helped me the most was the APEA Qbank. Some of the questions are pretty basic, but the...

  2. ANCC vs. AANP Certification?

    newFNP2015 replied to 3**835Y's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    From my experience, most places that say they want ANCC just mean that they want you certified, but not specifically ANCC over AANP. It is generally a lack of knowledge of terminology of the person...

  3. NPI, DEA, DPS, Medicare - Texas

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

    Prescriptive Authority:5 Steps to...DPS - Coalition for Nurses in Advanced Practice This may be helpful to anyone that is currently in this process. It's a little outdated, but still good overall...

  4. Peadiatric experience and FNP job.

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

    My RN experience is pedi CVICU and PICU. I did not find it a detriment to my finding a job. The only reason it even came up is that most people who interviewed me went out of their way to explain...

  5. AANP study materials?

    newFNP2015 replied to cecej435's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I attended a Hollier/APEA live review and purchased the Qbank for the month preceding my exam. I also used an older version of the Fitz book and the fast facts from Leik. I wanted various sources and...

  6. Time off after graduating

    newFNP2015 replied to moonischasingme1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    As a side note, I took nearly 5 months post graduation and 3 months post-certification to decide on a job. It was a lengthy process full of offers that were less than desirable. I'm glad I waited...

  7. New Grad Job Offers Advice

    newFNP2015 posted a topic in Advanced Practice

    I need some help with potential offers from recent interviews. I have had a lot of terrible offers including awful schedules, independent contracting that does not adequately compensate for taxes, no...

  8. New Grad Job Offers Advice

    newFNP2015 replied to newFNP2015's topic in Advanced Practice

    Another update: I had another offer in the mean time and ended up going with a FQHC about 10 minutes from my house with excellent benefits. Thanks for all of your

  9. New Grad Job Offers Advice

    newFNP2015 replied to newFNP2015's topic in Advanced Practice

    Update: Still interviewing and deciding. Will be shadowing in the pain management practice to check it out further. I also have upcoming interviews for a family practice clinic with a big hospital...

  10. Can you work as a nurse practitioner and nurse anesthesiologist

    newFNP2015 replied to RngirlBsn2021's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    DNP is not mandated until 2025 for CRNAs and no set date for NPs that I'm aware of so that should not be an issue. I am unsure of the logistics of holding both licenses according to the BON, which may...

  11. Passed AANP today!!!

    newFNP2015 replied to MikeFNPC's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Passed AANP today! APEA QBank and AANP practice questions were my best investments as far as exam prep, I think. I took the Hollier review course which I also found helpful for "putting it all...

  12. Passed AANP!!!

    newFNP2015 replied to hunnybaby24's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I passed the AANP today! I found the APEA QBank and the AANP practice exam very helpful for exam content. Hollier live review was good for overall knowledge of content/practice as

  13. ANCC OR AANP

    newFNP2015 replied to 34years's topic in Advanced Practice

    I recently graduated in December and am planning to take AANPCP. I decided AANPCP because it is strictly clinical based questions and has an association with the actual AANP organization. I have...

  14. Do you perform the Epley maneuver?

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

    No special training needed that I'm aware of. In fact, probably preferable because it can be done in a primary care office and doesn't cost anything. Use Dix-Hallpike to find the affected ear and...

  15. Phone/I-PAD/Laptop/Tablet???

    newFNP2015 replied to BirkieGirl's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I used epocrates every day in clinicals. Whether you get it for tablet or phone, its a necessity for

  16. new job

    newFNP2015 replied to pedspnp's topic in Advanced Practice

    I can't say much for NP jobs with that reputation, but it sounds to me like this is hearsay at this point. I agree that you should keep an open mind about the situation and make the most of the...

  17. Professional Journals

    newFNP2015 replied to BrnEyedGirl's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    My school offers free access to many journals if I do my search through the library website. I agree with some of the above posters to do a little research with your library and see what is already...

  18. Online schools and testing...

    newFNP2015 replied to IrishIzCPNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    We have had a mix of proctored vs non-proctored during my program. Depends largely on the content of the course and the professor. I am in the FNP program. We have the option to take the exam on...

  19. DNP student in need of preceptor!

    newFNP2015 replied to AveryHarvey's topic in Advanced Practice

    There are often preceptors posted in local and state NP associations. Generally you must become a student member and pay a discounted amount of dues prior to seeing the database, but it may be worth...

  20. Confused-Which MSN program?

    newFNP2015 replied to cathering's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    FNPs can work in ER, especially if they have ER or urgent care experience as RNs or clinicals that are heavy in either area. Sometimes it is preferred because they can see patients across the...

  21. Confused-Which MSN program?

    newFNP2015 replied to cathering's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    FNP is not technically meant to work in a hospital setting. The intention is to work in primary care, but there are always exceptions. The instances in which I have heard of FNPs working in the...

  22. Should I mention this to my coworkers?

    newFNP2015 replied to nyc2011's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I haven't had any assignments that directly tie into what I am doing NOW, but rather based on my experience which could include anything nursing related. Often it was about nursing leaders that I had...

  23. Dear practitoners, quick question on your school

    newFNP2015 replied to tarotale's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Texas Tech and UTMB (Galveston) also have online NP programs. Any online school will require on-campus visits at some point during the program which may vary depending on school (some every semester,...

  24. FNP vs APNP

    newFNP2015 replied to mgfam's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    By APNP, are you referencing acute care (ACPNP)? FNP is focused on primary care across the lifespan (pedi, adult, geri, etc). FNPs primarily work in outpatient settings with some exceptions made for...

  25. Can I go for an NP at the UT Health Science Center with a BSN from an A&M branch?

    newFNP2015 replied to amhlaredo's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It should not be an issue, especially if you complete the BSN. If you complete the BSN at TAMU, you have the degree, you work as an RN, and then you apply wherever you want for MSN/NP, including a UT...
