    sandnnw, Thanks for the info. Now I may have changed my mind
  7. AANP or ANCC?

    I understand that AANP is fraught with problems and is not user friendly at all. I want to be able to take my test in the least amount of time after graduation and as I understand it AANP is not...
  8. AANP or ANCC?

    Looks like I have decided on ANCC. The decision made me
  9. Cash Only Practice Ideas

    I did a clinical rotation with them at AHC in Apex. It is a great set up. Dr. Forest is a brilliant fellow and Stephanie is a great NP. If you want to talk about the practice I am at your service. I...
  10. AANP or ANCC?

    You lost me JD. Are you saying it is like the diving certification organization P.A.D.I. (Put Another Dollar
  11. AANP or ANCC?

    I thought that one of the joys of NP is there are no recerts just renewal. Am I wrong
  12. AANP or ANCC?

    My preceptor said that one of the test was not very clinically based, but he took it in the 80's so I imagine they have changed a great deal. If I could get input from those that have taken either one...
  13. I am starting my last clinical in Jan. When should I start sending out my resume? I am also looking to go west. Washington, Nevada, Arizona, Idaho, Wyoming, New Mexico. My criteria is NP friendly, low...
  14. I can't do it. In MY opinoin he over prescribes. But who am I? A disgruntaled student, it would never fly. Thanks for clearing it up
  15. I did clinicals at a practice that had a "boutique" in the waiting room selling saris (sp?), junk jewlery, junk electronics. Maybe not the same as the other winners you describe. He had his staff do...
  16. Duke DNP

    I would go with my gut were I you. You most likely be working with Mary Champagne and she is teriffic. So in your case I will reverse myself and recomend duke. But if the chance to work with Mary were...
  17. Duke DNP

    The dnp was supposed to be a clinical terminal degree, now not so much. The best way is to go to a PA program. That will make you strong clinically, IMHO. Good
  18. Duke DNP

    The coolness factor isn't there. Duke skates on it's reputation, not in content. If I had it to do over again, no way on earth would I. All I can say is that the name on my degree better do me more...
  19. The title says it
  20. Watts School of Nursing?

    I graduated from Watts. Hard but good training. Everytime you think that what they ask you to do is the hard way, just remember there is usually a method to their madness. Go for it and good
  21. How about a clinical pearl thread?

    How about helping a brother out? We can all benefit. I foud one that said for doing veinipuncture on kiddies, have them pretend to keep an imaginary feather(their favorite color) in the air by...
  22. Is the compensation worth it?

    For a 2000 hour work
  23. NP residency/fellowship

    Not sure I understand the second part. But I fully and wholly agree with your first part. I have another year on my NP and I really wish I had another 1000 or two clinical hours to round me
  24. For Those That Have Left Nursing

    busyrnandmom, If walking down the street makes you SOB, EMT is not a light alternative. Relax, try to get off the meds and enjoy your kids. Good
  25. How long

    How long between end of np school and certification? Are tests offered every month? Are review courses highly
