we should create a Facebook group. :-)

Do you all plan to work full-time while in school full-time?

The bulk of it is a bit negative: I hear a lot of dissatisfaction about your experience in learning to be a registered nurse. How will being a FNP improve upon your dissatisfaction? When you shadowed the FNP what specifically changed your mind? What do you look forward to most about being an FNP? What patient population excites you most? I'd like to hear more positive statements and more elaboration about your experience shadowing. There are 3-4 paragraphs about your dissatisfaction and one about your experience with FNP. Maybe you shorten what you didn't like about nursing and add in some more positive statements about "how you will improve patient outcomes as an FNP."

Got my packet int the mail! FNP!

But, I'm not celebrating just yet...this could just be for all the applicants: who knows. These results are unofficial

Well, I have a 3.2 GPA...But, I took all my classes at UAB and UAB School o Nursing. I graduated last April, work at UAB on a unit that deals with everything Cancer, general med to psych. I had my essay proof read twice at UAB writing center, had a friend who graduated at same time and got into the program earlier proof read my essay (UAB blah, blah--Guess I'm UAB born n' bread) I'm in a national nursing honor society. I mean, I really think my essay was stellar cause I worked on it for a while. I had A's and B's in nursing school: before nursing I was a bit unfocused hence my not so awesome GPA.

I logged into Blazernet and listed under concentration is Family Nurse Practitioner! My first choice! I was a student before and I am an employee at UAB hospital

I made between 50% to 70% on the question trainers. I don't remember my exact scores. Kaplan questions are like the nclex, maybe a little harder than nclex.

You'll do fine! Just practice questions!

MGH2014, I really did not study pharm intensily because, before taking my nclex, I heard from many people that they didn't get a lot of pharm questons and when they did get pharmacology questions they didn't recognize the drugs anyway. I may have gotten a couple pharm questions, maybe one drug I didn't know. When I was studying nclex questions, I did look up drugs whenever I got a question and wasn't familiar with the drug. That was about as much studying I did for pharm. Just looked up the drugs in practice questions if I didn't get a question correct.

Hi ChelCM, on the 2013 practice test we got from the live review, I was scored 65% on Fundamentals, 60% on Medsurg, and 60% on peds, 80% on OB/Maternal. I was scared about my scores. As long as you understand why you got something wrong, you will be fine. In school, I got a level 3 in peds and Adult which is the highest level you can get on the proctored exams, so I was scared at those practice test scores because I thought they were low cause I was strong in peds and adults... But, remember it's just practice
