    pattyweb replied to GoodNP's topic in Advanced Practice

    I'm an FNP in a rural health clinic and do occasionally see newborn babies of less than 1-2 wks old. I have a few babies that I follow routinely for their well visits, but also cover for 2 of my...

    pattyweb replied to TennesseeNP123's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Do you have a byderon (sp) drug rep? The last time I talked to one they did have a method, but I can't remember what it was. I do know the blood sugars were a little higher at the beginning of the...

    pattyweb replied to Lilly12's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I took and passed the AANP in fall 2012. I did the live Fitzgerald course and also found a set of audio CDs from apea to listen to. I listened to these while driving during my last semester, as I had...

  4. Looking for a short NP program- less than 2 years

    pattyweb replied to Barinbass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Trauma is a CNS, not an NP. I have heard that Georgetown has an 18month program, but is very expensive and rigorous. I went through Graceland, which was 3yrs full time, but I feel if it had been...

  5. AANP FNP Exam on Wed. Failed APEA's Practice Test after taking THEIR review course!!!

  7. Night shift and school

    pattyweb replied to secretagent2011's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Pray that your schedule is consistent, if you have a day off in the middle of your 3 12hr shifts, that's when your sleep gets really screwed up. I agree with the above posters,

  8. Passed ANCC & AANP...and these are the resources that I would recommend

    pattyweb replied to MLGDNP12's topic in Advanced Practice

    I thought the FamilyNP Prep site, even though was supposed to be AANP, seemed more like ANCCs test plan. AANP sells a practice test that you can do online , I thought it was much more similar to the...

    pattyweb replied to Belle2013's topic in Emergency

    Shoes to wear and keep at hospital. While I never worked ED, the STUFF on the units was bad enough. Definitely did not like to wear my work shoes home, no matter where I left them when I got

    pattyweb replied to laree22225's topic in Advanced Practice

    pattyweb replied to luv2yoga's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  14. CA NP needs help transferring license to IL

    pattyweb replied to JoshANP's topic in Advanced Practice

    Can't answer your question, but from experience you can finally get ahold of the state of IL by calling multiple times (be prepared, each time I got ahold of someone I dialed like 20 times each time...

    pattyweb replied to citygirl2's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Actually, the US is not the only country with a different license in every state. Canada requires that you apply to test and then for licensure in each province, so you can't freely move from province...

    pattyweb replied to lsid16's topic in Illinois Nursing

  21. How can we make the process of report from ER to floor better?

    pattyweb replied to nrsang97's topic in Emergency

    Do you work at my facility?? No, to be honest we went from verbal report to a printable or electronic chart accessible report several yrs ago. I hate it. I can, however, read the ED nurse's charting...

    pattyweb replied to bayouchick02's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP
