   I am in Indiana, I make over $55/hr in urgent care, and over $100 K/yr in my real job (with benefits, paid phone, great CE allowance, paid licenses, etc).

2. Why is finding a preceptor so blahblah difficult!

   NeldaFNP replied to A&OxNone's topic in NP Students

   I totally agree with this. Brick and mortar schools usually (not always) have arrangements for preceptors. That is why I chose a B&M school, even though I did find my own preceptors. That being said, PAs are also refusing to take NP students a...

3. PNNP vs CNM

   NeldaFNP replied to ashleymr1213's topic in NP Students

   AANP also certifies nurse practitioners. They also do not offer a certification in PNNP. i had a co-worker who received a degree in something similar, her degree was in perinatal care and she was considered a APN. But only our hospital recognized t...

   Fitgerald, Hollier go system by system, information followed by questions on the information, as well as Barkley. Codina like has the information system by system but the questions are all mixed up. CL is actually better because it is more like the...

   I have a blog devoted to this, what worked for me (everyone is different but at least you get some tips), and a complete study plan that can be started anytime after starting school. The complete plan takes about 4 months but that includes some int...

9. Nurse Practitioner Route: No RN Experience?

   NeldaFNP replied to meganec17's topic in NP Students

   Medical school and PA school require many, many, many more hours. Most NP coursework only requires 500 hours total because they are basing a lot of the experience on previous RN experience. PAs may have 400 hours in just one rotation, so there is a...

11. FNP Certification Reviews, Tips, and Recommendations

    NeldaFNP replied to ashleyne2408's topic in NP Students

    I used Fitzgerald first, and then Barkley since a friend and I shared them. I liked having two perspectives, makes the information easier to integrate. But I think any would work as long as you listen and study from them, either by using the manual ...

12. FNP Certification Reviews, Tips, and Recommendations

    NeldaFNP replied to ashleyne2408's topic in NP Students

    I used an older CD review (2011) and then attended a live session in 2015 by a different lecturer. I feel that I benefited from the information from 2 different lecturers. If I had to choose, I would do CDs because I reviewed them over and over, I w...

15. "FNPs can do anything"

    NeldaFNP replied to Jules A's topic in NP Students

    I agree, and what is sad is that I trained at a practice with an Adult NP who is regularly seeing pediatric patients 1/3 to 1/2 of her patients). If one little thing goes wrong she will loose her license as well as face reprucutions. I can't believ...
