Thank you, that makes me feel a lot better. I think I'm just building anxiety over the whole thing. I've been reading through some discussion posts on this and they said basically the same thing.. Hopefully my review class helps too but I'll just continue doing practice questions until next week. And congratulations on passing!!

I was wondering if I could get some advice with the FNP boards. I signed up for both the AANP and ANCC (mostly so I would have a backup, but I didn't really feel that I needed it). I took my AANP about a week ago and failed it. I have not received the breakdown of what I did wrong yet. I am scheduled for my ANCC test next week. I did the Hollier live review about a month ago and I scheduled the Walden one for this Friday. I just really don't know where to go with my studying. I've been re-watching the Hollier videos and looking through the Leik book.. I do at least 100 practice questions from various sources each night and usually score in the 70s, which is also weird to me because throughout my program I mostly had all A's. I never have had an issue with standardized tests before. I'm (usually) one of those annoying people that just naturally does well on tests. I was honestly pretty shocked that I failed.. I didn't feel good leaving the exam, but you never do. But going into it, I felt good with the material and even mastered some things that just would not click before. Now I'm basically in a constant state of stress and I'm pretty psyched out about this next test after bombing the last one. Also, I signed a contract months ago and I'm supposed to be beginning orientation in June, so that's adding a bit of pressure as well. Any suggestions or people who have been in the same boat would be greatly appreciated.

I'm very seriously looking to start traveling. My hold up is this whole picking a company thing. I'm not very business savvy... And I don't know how to tell who is a good or bad recruiter. I like the one I've been talking to at Jackson but they're basically trying to sell you so of course they're all going to be nice. Any my advice would be appreciated. I don't know anyone that's traveled an dim nervous about packing up and taking off so I want to do it right.

Hello! I was wondering if anyone with experience with this could give me some advice. I'm looking to get my DNP (FNP route). I would like to get this process going ASAP. However, I'm not sure what the best path to take is. I'm looking at two programs. I have already been accepted into Chamberlain's program to start in July. I have been thinking lately, to maybe hold out and see if I can get into MUSC's spring class... I applied to MUSC when I was a brand new nurse (maybe two months of experience) and got denied. I'm not sure how much that had to do with it, but I'm sure a lot. (I also wasn't a resident of the state at the time). SO I'm nervous about putting Chamberlain on the back-burner for something I may not even get into anyway. My question is.. is the name and reputation behind MUSC more important? How much weight is held on these programs post graduation? I'm not worried about what I'll get out of it so much educationally (you get out what you put in), but more about getting a job after. Also, I'll be able to start Chamberlain soon but it will be a master's and I'll still have to go back for my DNP (but I can do that while making significantly more money, hopefully), and obviously Chamberlain is way cheaper. Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Hello, I was wondering if I could get some insight into what being in the Navy as a nurse entails. I've done all the research I can on their website, but I'd prefer to not get information about something from the people who are trying to sell it to you I work full time on a labor and delivery/pediatric floor. I have my BS in biology and my BSN. I'm looking to pursue the FNP route, but then one of my friends who is actively enlisted suggested I look into this (because, as everyone knows, tuition is out of control). I would like to do part time so I can maintain my current job and go back to school, but I want to know exactly what I would be signing up for. The website says one weekend a month and then two full weeks a year. I live about two hours south of Charleston, so I was curious if most of that would be taking place there? Any information would be extremely helpful!! Thank you! Joslyn

If you email admissions they'll tell you. Good luck :)

Sooooo we're at the end of the 7 week mark (right?) anyone have any updates? This waiting game is torture!!! Haha

Well, let the days of obsessively checking emails begin!!! Good luck everyone :)

I applied to this class! I've been searching for someone to post about it. I accidentally deleted my email that says when we should hear whether or not we got in
