  2. Pharm for APNs

    Bumex posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    So, I'm in my Pharm for APNs class in NP school. I'm doing well on the tests, but I still feel like I don't really know the material as well as I should. I'm for sure not ready to be able to prescribe...

  8. Yale GEPN competitiveness - advice please!

    Bumex replied to bex18's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Do you plan on working for a year or two as an RN? If not, rethink it. I was going to go straight through RN-NP without working. Life happened and I needed to work for a year before starting. It was...

  9. NP master without the NCLEX?

    Bumex replied to teochap's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I actually know of a few programs that will accept you prior to the NCLEX, but it is a conditional acceptance given that you will have your RN license prior to starting the program. So, I can't offer...

    Bumex replied to Nurse2B_88's topic in School, College Programs

    I know that this probably won't be what you want to hear, but this is the experience of a friend of mine. She had a similar issue, failed in first semester of her senior year when we did our BSN...

  14. from RN to Palliative Care NP?

    Bumex replied to EOLRNinED's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree with the posters that said AG-PCNP or FNP. I know of several palliative NPs that are FNP or AG-PCNP. Most (but sometimes not all) patients in this setting are 65+, but occasionally you will...

    Bumex replied to Chelonophile's topic in General Students

    Engraving can happen online through several vendors, but I'm unsure as to needing to purchase one of their scopes. What I did was purchase a personalized name tag that wraps around the Y-split of the...

  16. Hospice/Palliative NP - which academic track?

    Bumex replied to INN_777's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Have you thought about AG-PCNP? This might be off topic but Loyola University-Chicago has a Oncology certificate to supplement any NP program they have. Also, I think University of Illinois at Chicago...

  17. Is it better to become a CNA or LVN before entering into a Nursing Program ?

    Bumex replied to sovarah's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't agree that no healthcare experience is the best way to go. I believe that is a route some take, but I worked as a CNA and a Phlebotomist prior to becoming an RN. I noticed that it did hurt me...

  20. Info on CNS-APN is GREATLY appreciated

    Bumex replied to Bumex's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I hope that is true, but some people have been telling me otherwise. I have seen job postings for CNS jobs everywhere. It just scares me that I might lose the career path that appeals the most to me...
