I relocated from ga to fla after graduation. I had no problem during the interview , employers just wanted to know what was my reason for relocating. I only started to get call backs for interviews once I was licensed as a np. I took boards before I...

My point exactly student loans that MAY help fund the program !!! What percentage?? What does that small percent cover?? And this is debt incurred by the student as well. I'm speaking about additional funding to the school outside the students that m...

Any profession can aquire student loans, which is not what I'm referring to as government funding which medical students have the same privilege of obtaining as well. I'm speaking of actual funding toward the profession itself such as residency pr...

From what i understand med school students don't have to do this because there is govt funding provided to med school institutions. There is not funding provided for the education of NPs .So the issue is at a legislative level, and if there were f...

Adult gero NP S can actually see children age 13 and older. I chose this certification because i have absolutely no desire to care for children younger than that age group. Not sure where you are located but there are an abundance of jobs for ANP...
I'm a new grad myself. While floating , is this your opportunity to be shadowing / training or you're starting out solo floating from clinic to clinic trying to see where/if you fit?

There are definitely many papers, power points, and group work during the first year. The instructors were very accessible and approachable some more leaniant than others. My pharm instructor was great with information dissemination but at times it w...

It's doable. I worked prn but FT hrs during the entire program, but mainly on the weekends it was easier that way for me. Mon thru Friday may become difficult when you start clinicals that would be the only issue I can say my other cohorts had. I gra...
Nice article ryguyRn. I just interviewed with a gi specialty today .I only have experience as a student working in gi. I have applied and also interviewed for psych position as well. So I don't think it hurts to apply if it's a specialty you're reall...
Fitzgerald cds and online component covered those topics well.I think Leik's book did a better job and the study hints in the books were very helpful in my opinion. I agree the non clinical questions were the trickiest. I can understand your confiden...

I'm sure you will do fine! I was the same way a nervous wreck. I just took the test on July 21 and had to keep reminding myself during the exam to calm down and take it easy. It was a long 4 hours but such a relief when I got my print out saying co...
Wow..that's crazy ..so you have to submit this contract with the application for licensure?! That's got to be difficult for one who is moving and has no network or connections in place. Making the job search even that more difficult. I just recently ...
