  1. Reference Books Recommendations

    lwsoccjs replied to mar1ama's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yep all those are good. Then once in pathophysiology you'll get a decent pathophysiology book. But learn anatomy, physiology, and pathogy first. That plenty to get you started. Good

  2. Ask for a Raise and get another degree?

    lwsoccjs replied to RnJillMda's topic in Advanced Practice

    Weird comment. Pay has so many variables across the nation the input of "you make less than someone else" without much more information is useless to the

  3. Aesthetic advice

    lwsoccjs replied to Danielakcardozo's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    OP, what "Dermatology school" are you talking about. There is none in Florida. The only true dermatology for NP in the country is lahey, and that's a residency post graduation. All others you have...

  4. Minimum Scores for Boards

    lwsoccjs replied to stickit34's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Lol :) appreciate the confidence. I like your counter arguement that it depends on the questions. Aren't all question on a compentency test considered valid and within an NP's scope. I guess not all...

  5. Minimum Scores for Boards

    lwsoccjs replied to stickit34's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If I am in one? All A's thank you. Second, I will be more than happy

  6. Leik questions

    lwsoccjs replied to RNmeee's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Agreed. The APEA are better questions. Unfortunately leik makes it very obvious what the answer is. Good for memorization but that's honestly all it is

  7. Leik questions

    lwsoccjs replied to RNmeee's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yes the leik questions lack rigor. For the most part they are memorization questions lacking complex decision making. They are much easier than most

  8. Minimum Scores for Boards

    lwsoccjs replied to stickit34's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Not impressed with your ability to place words in my mouth. I will take the person that is logical and understands the lack of rigor that the test presents over someone who pretends to boost her own...

  9. Minimum Scores for Boards

    lwsoccjs replied to stickit34's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Nah, I'll judge from the information I've experienced. Soon enough, l'll post "how difficult" it was. How I was prepped and ready to pass boards before midway through my program. As evidenced by...

  10. Minimum Scores for Boards

    lwsoccjs replied to stickit34's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Lol yep, or you can call them scary. But, to each their

  11. Are you a nurse practitioner without any nursing experience?

    lwsoccjs replied to bethymaester's topic in Advanced Practice

    Lol the nursing model huh, for a career implied to be a provider,

  12. Is getting your DNP worth it?

    lwsoccjs replied to brookeg30's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    So from what I am seeing if it's clinical then it adds nothing, if it's leadership or management or teaching it's

  13. Is getting your DNP worth it?

    lwsoccjs replied to brookeg30's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    There are many previous postings concerning this. I suggest you use the search

  14. Minimum Scores for Boards

    lwsoccjs replied to stickit34's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If it makes you feel better you are not alone. I honestly feel if people thought about it objectively most would be disturbed. But many have a foot in the race so they rationalize that it isn't that...

  15. Minimum Scores for Boards

    lwsoccjs replied to stickit34's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Again minimum, which to the OP's question is indeed to low atleast in my opinion. To each their own I guess. Like I said it benefits share holders in the profession, students etc just not the public...

  16. Minimum Scores for Boards

    lwsoccjs replied to stickit34's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The the Angoff scoring with their use of the "subject experts" that make the ultimate decision are still setting the bar low at 500/800 to pass at

  17. Minimum Scores for Boards

    lwsoccjs replied to stickit34's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Difference between USLME and ours would be yes low initial pass but need to score high to get any decent residency so take that with consideration. Yes the minimum standard is very low. NP schools...

  18. Everyone is in NP school !

    lwsoccjs replied to Atl-Murse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Refer to my last post that will demonstrate my thoughts on your post Jules

  19. Everyone is in NP school !

    lwsoccjs replied to Atl-Murse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I object because I know only the best NP's don't only get hired. It's flawed logic. In theory only the best get hired but we all know that's not true. Second I am well aware of the US news rankings....

  20. Everyone is in NP school !

    lwsoccjs replied to Atl-Murse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    And by your logic unless you go to a top ten school don't go because only they are the best and get the jobs. Lol have a nice

  21. Everyone is in NP school !

    lwsoccjs replied to Atl-Murse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Again all weak arguments. The best in any field will always get a job. But generally speaking to tell someone to go towards an overall saturated field is wrong. This is especially wrong by spinning it...

  22. Everyone is in NP school !

    lwsoccjs replied to Atl-Murse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The argument still at is core and relevant to the OP is to many people are in NP school. Which by the numbers is a fact. Btw that 53,000 number I referenced is the BLS projected number over a ten year...

  23. Everyone is in NP school !

    lwsoccjs replied to Atl-Murse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    To close my argument I will leave you with this. That 53k number I mention from the bureau of labor statistics is CRNA, midwives and all NP professions. Are we really going to play this game that...

  24. Everyone is in NP school !

    lwsoccjs replied to Atl-Murse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Another fun fact. AANP had 14836 people take the test in 2016. With the pass rate I have already mentioned 12,106 people passed for family. Then take ANCC for family in 2016 5107 people took the test....

  25. Everyone is in NP school !

    lwsoccjs replied to Atl-Murse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If we are really going to pick apart every word someone says here is a fun one. 81.6% to be exact and that is only first time test takers. No where do they disclose how much we can cram the second go...
