    MJC2118 replied to Guest1059175's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    No, I do not regret going back to school to become an NP. As an RN with 6 years experience, I was making $58,000 a year. I worked night shift, so that was with a differential. I now make $86,000. I...

    I don't personally do Crossfit, but know a lot of people that do with my husband being one of them. There is a modification for everything and it's not a requirement to go everyday or to "keep up."...

    MJC2118 replied to MJC2118's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  18. EKG Resources

    MJC2118 replied to MJC2118's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    With the utmost respect, I disagree. Cardiology is the right fit for me, and even though I have not had any training in advanced EKG interpretation, it does not mean that I can't do this job. There is...

  19. EKG Resources

    MJC2118 replied to MJC2118's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Maybe you should read my edited post again before you judge too much. I was referring to advanced interpretation of EKGs. I shouldve been more clear and careful with my wording. I was just trying to...

    MJC2118 replied to GMUFNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree with everything the poster said. I took the ANCC yesterday (June 28th), and passed. I would say 40% nonclinical is right. I felt like every other question was a nonclinical question. With that...
