  2. Question about certification exam reviews

    CocoaLoverFNP replied to Qka's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I didn't feel like there was any difference although I would make sure I know JNC 8 guidelines for the exam. I used the old version of Leik too and it had information on JNC7. Hollier now has the...

  5. Interview at Sharp

    CocoaLoverFNP replied to kelbeljo's topic in California Nursing

    California hospitals should recognize any temp license issued by the BON. But as previous OP has already mentioned, hiring an employee depends on the hiring department. Each department may have...

  6. Question about certification exam reviews

    CocoaLoverFNP replied to Qka's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The audio CD does not replace or cover all of the information included in the book. However, i found the CDs helpful in reinforcing my knowledge of concepts while using my time wisely (i listened to...

  7. Any FNP out there that went to a for profit online university out there?

    CocoaLoverFNP replied to Ptrv12's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yes! Very exciting ;-) You know, sometimes, it depends on how much the person wants to put in and how much he/she wants to learn. For example, there are doctors who attended universities in other...

  9. Getting my life back

    CocoaLoverFNP replied to steffyh's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thank you for the information, steffyh! I saw those "previous employee" comments on the glassdoor website. Most are negative comments so I am hesitant to apply. I am glad that you have a different...

    Thank you, bhargrave! The whole journey (school + clinical + board exam) was definitely not easy but doable with determination and discipline. Good luck to

  13. It's not my job to pray with you.

    CocoaLoverFNP replied to kickatthedark's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Thanks, purple roses. That's why I am just telling OP to be careful with words. There are people out there, like me, who believe in the power of prayers. That's all

  14. It's not my job to pray with you.

    CocoaLoverFNP replied to kickatthedark's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    So i am right... People could interpret the OP's post in different ways. You interpreted it in a positive way while i DID NOT. Since we strive for a patient-centered care, i am only telling the OP to...

  15. Getting my life back

    CocoaLoverFNP replied to steffyh's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi Steffyh, First of all, i apologize if i had to resurrect this post. SO, your post really inspired me! It took me several days to find this post. I have read it before but now that I have been...

  16. Is too soon to go to FNP program with less than 2 years of RN experience

    CocoaLoverFNP replied to DianRN603's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hello Dian, I am a new grad but I can also answer your questions because I am from CA. 1) No. I have met NPs who have never worked as any type of nurse and they are really good at what they do!...

  17. It's not my job to pray with you.

    CocoaLoverFNP replied to kickatthedark's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I do agree with your stance. I pray a lot but I still call the chaplain for any patient's spiritual needs while in the hospital. The spiritual care staff members are excellent in providing for...

  18. I negotiated and i still got the job.

    CocoaLoverFNP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I just want to say THANK YOU to all of the members here who gave advice (and courage) about negotiating our NP hourly pay. Even though I am a new grad NP, the manager still took the hourly rate that...

  19. NP Salaries/Location/Specialties

    CocoaLoverFNP replied to tsipareht's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thank you, knlake! This info helps. We have never been there but my husband would like to move there due to his political preferences. We will probably visit the state next year just to see how it...

  20. Can an FNP work in psych?

    CocoaLoverFNP replied to moni's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I didn't know, until i joined AN, that there is a "hybrid NP program" with network of preceptors. I also didn't know that there are programs that are solely online. Some students say there are...

  21. Too old to do NP program?

    CocoaLoverFNP replied to med_life_for_me's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Too

  22. Observational Tele unit

    CocoaLoverFNP replied to kelbeljo's topic in Cardiac

    I love the tele observation unit! Most patients are "walkie-talkies". I rarely had anyone who is a total care patient. Most didn't have any complicated diagnosis. The obs unit has lesser stress than...

  23. Not working during nursing school?

    CocoaLoverFNP replied to Infofreak411's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    While I understand where you are coming from, I'd like to make everyone aware that government assistance is not the only (and best) solution for the OP's issue. You can work while in school, work...

  24. Not working during nursing school?

    CocoaLoverFNP replied to Infofreak411's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    WOW. Let me clarify your thoughts. It seems as if when you "think" someone agrees with you (when she clearly didn't), then that person is having an intellectual conversation with you. And when...

  25. Not working during nursing school?

    CocoaLoverFNP replied to Infofreak411's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sounds like abusing the system to me too. I worked and went to school at the same time. It was like hell! But I got through it all. Therefore, i do not think another nursing student (who is equally...
