  1. How hard is NP school compared to pharmacy school?

    Nimrodel replied to cn4207's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm not sure saying that the schooling is longer for PharmD is exactly an accurate assessment. Yes, there is the 4 years vs 2 years...but an NP will have ALSO had ~2 years in nursing school as well as...

  2. Sac State Fall 2017

    Nimrodel replied to amanda82003's topic in California Nursing

    Ok, that makes sense. And can I ask what the passing grade is in the program? I know a lot of places you need like an 80% to pass. Thanks for taking the time to reply so much

  3. Sac State Fall 2017

    Nimrodel replied to amanda82003's topic in California Nursing

    Can I ask how much time is typical to need to spend each week outside of the program in order to keep up with the

  4. FNP / CNM ?

    Nimrodel replied to future-peds-np's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    There are a number of programs that offer dual CNM/WHNP certification. I haven't heard of any CNM/FNP programs, although that doesn't mean they don't exist. You should consider trying to pick one or...

  5. Blood Test Predicts Response to Antidepressants

    Nimrodel replied to Purple_Clover's topic in Psychiatric

    I did the cheek swab one. I was pretty young when we did it (like 14) so I don't remember whether insurance covered it, but it was definitely under $100. It doesn't guarantee effectiveness, but it...

  6. Sacramento State Fall 2017

    Nimrodel replied to AspiringNP/CNM's topic in School, College Programs

    Sac State is kind of...the only nursing program I applied to, so it's high stakes for me lol. And no, this is (sadly) the busiest

  7. Blood Test Predicts Response to Antidepressants

    Nimrodel replied to Purple_Clover's topic in Psychiatric

    There is also a genetic test that can be done with a cheek swab that helps predict responses to a wide array of mental health medications. It's called Genomind. Fascinating

  8. FNP vs AGACNP? Need help deciding.

    Nimrodel replied to jwirth.rn's topic in Advanced Practice

    Just wondering - have you thought at all about becoming a CRNA, given your background in critical

  9. Taking the teas test with a biology degree

    Nimrodel replied to Hmagar2012's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    It depends what classes you took for your biology degree + how long ago they were. Most (2/3) of the science portion of the TEAS is anatomy and physiology. The rest is chemistry and genetics, really....

  10. How to become a nurse

    Nimrodel replied to Hilaryalas's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi! Some UCs (Irvine, UCLA) do have nursing. If you didn't apply/get into either of those, you should think about doing two years at CC and then transferring to wherever you can get into. Those two...

  11. My first week as an NP

    Nimrodel replied to 2bNotAnotherMaleNurse7's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That...makes no sense. Podiatrists have a doctoral degree (doctor . Unless you have a DNP, you do not. I know in some states its illegal for NPs, even those with a doctoral degree, to call themselves...

  12. My first week as an NP

    Nimrodel replied to 2bNotAnotherMaleNurse7's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You should talk to him about calling you Dr. I could see that getting you into messy legal trouble if the wrong things happened to go perfectly

  13. Sacramento State Fall 2017

    Nimrodel replied to AspiringNP/CNM's topic in School, College Programs

    Don't bite off more than you can chew (heavy class loads, summer classes, A&P + micro, etc) I did all my prereqs at SCC, and they've gone well for me. If you have any way to get priority...

  14. Can I work in a hospital as a FNP?

    Nimrodel replied to nyc2011's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    you should also look into PA school - here in CA they often hire PAs to assist in surgery. UCD also has a dual FNP/PA

  15. Sacramento State Fall 2017

    Nimrodel replied to AspiringNP/CNM's topic in School, College Programs

    Correct - as long as you don't have another science prerequisite in progress

  16. LPN programs... are they worth it?

    Nimrodel replied to romk's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It really depends on your situation. If you're a single mom who needs to work while in school to pay the bills, etc, then maybe an LPN would be a good fit because then you could work in the field...

  17. Nursing school: How did you make it? How many hours should you put in per week?

    Nimrodel replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    The 10-20 hours for A&P varies from person to person. I spent 4 hours a week on it when I took the first part over the summer, and less than an hour a week for the second part. I'm not really...

  18. Taking the TEAS V before taking A&P??

    Nimrodel replied to Vixxey's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You are almost certainly taking the TEAS VI - the V was retired in August. The new one, 75% of the science section is A&P, and most of it is somewhat advanced (not just basic stuff you already...

  19. A&P online?!?

    Nimrodel replied to AspiringRNKendra's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Caution: many programs I've seen require the lab be in person, so you may be closing off some

  20. HOW CAN I COMPETE??

    Nimrodel replied to jdpowerfitness's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Might I suggest you look into going Physician Assistant? It'd give you a backup plan to med school if nothing

  21. Future Nurse with Bipolar 2 Disorder

    Nimrodel replied to izeli74's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Hi! I'm starting nursing school in the fall and have Bipolar 2 and anxiety as well. It was really bad when I was a teenager (dropped out of HS due to it) but I've had a really successful time so far...

  22. Nurse Practitioner Entrepreneurship

    Nimrodel replied to IH0718718's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm not an NP yet but either FNP or PMHNP are my end goal; leaning more towards the latter at the moment but I've got a long ways to go before I need to make that decision. If I were to do PMHNP I...

  23. Current events group

    Nimrodel replied to atypical_psych_rpn's topic in Psychiatric

    I would recommend against that seeing as I know a number of people who have had mental health problems exacerbated by current events. It's an extraordinarily stressful topic, especially for people...

  24. Sac State Fall 2017

    Nimrodel replied to amanda82003's topic in California Nursing

    Thanks so

  25. Social workers who became PMHNP

    Nimrodel replied to 09nguyenmy's topic in Psychiatric

    I am hopeful that this is not a deliberately worded statement and that it just didn't have a lot of thought put into it. Being a CNA vs an RN are vast worlds of difference. CNA's don't really learn...
