ednurse17 BSN, MSN, RN, NP

studentnurse2018, I worked for a local hospital in my area and I was able to precept in some of their physician offices. I was lucky.

I'm from NC. Just graduated last year from Herzing's FNP program. The professors were awesome. Classes were informative. Good luck to you all! It's worth it!

I did the Hollier review. Was very informative and I had some of the questions she reviewed on the ANCC exam.

I failed AANP too. First time. I buckled down, listened to Amelie Hollier review 3 times, did the Leik questions. Took AANC and passed! I actually liked the ANCC certification better! Good luck! Keep your chin up!!

I'm taking ANCC next month and nervous as heck! I failed the AANP exam and have stressed about this test. I appreciate your candidness about the test!

I went to weekend option at work. I'm an ER nurse and worked Friday and Saturday nights during NP school. Very do-able. You won't be able to work 12 hour shifts during the week once you start clinicals. Not enough time in the day!

sorry you've had such a bad experience. Fortunately, my clinical preceptors have been great. Hang in there.

thank you for the thought!

I'll be using typhon once I find a preceptor. Until then..... nada.

I live in NC. I am currently going through the FNP program through Herzing. I CANNOT find a preceptor. I have contacted physicians in the hospital group I work at and everyone says NO. I need to find someone! Anyone have any suggestions? Is it just b...

I probably wouldn't acted the same way you did. You don't reward people for bad behavior. When he said he was ready to leave, I would've taken out the IV's and foley and said "peace out"... He'll be back in the ER within 24 hours I'm sure.

I usually just copy and paste the ISBN # in the search bar and see who's the cheapest. I agree with all the above posts. Chegg is great, campusbookrentals is great too.

campusbookrentals.com is another good website. I rent from Amazon and haven't had any problems. I go for the cheapest.

My mother died at 69 of a massive heart attack. She had been transferred from one hospital to another for an emergency heart cath. She died on the table. On my way home from the hospital, I was talking to her and telling her how much I would miss her...

how precious of a moment you had!

I work in Randolph County.

Hey everyone. I am thinking about applying to Frontier. I just received my BSN in October. I haven't taken a statistics class yet. Do you think this will hold me back on getting accepted? I'm from NC too.

I'm earning my RN to BSN through Aspen University. Yes, there are papers to write, but I'm learning so much! It's doable. I'm working full-time and have a 3.9 average! Aspen is affordable. $250/month.

One of our ICU nurses came down to work with us in the ED Saturday night. She told me at the end of the shift how much she appreciated all we did. She saw the Code-STEMI who was in and out in 28 minutes, the new onset of Afib-RVR who never had a hear...

Code strokes go directly to CT upon admit to the ER at our hospital. Insulin drips get hung, Potassium runs are given. That's just how it is. There are protocols that ER's have to follow. Your hospital has some serious issues....

well, then they should have transferred this patient out to another hospital that has ICU beds available. Our ICU is currently closed due to a roof leak. We have 3 ICU make-shift beds in PCU right now. We ship out the critical ones. That's the Dr's b...

I don't know what hospital you work at, but our ER nurses don't screw anyone. We have 30 minutes to get a patient upstairs after admit orders are written. We have held patients longer to allow the floor nurse to get there, but we have to account for ...

Isn't it up to the admitting doctor what floor this patient should go to? Who lied? Our hospitalist usually come down to the ER to see the patient before orders are written. Our house supervisor assigns our inpatient beds after speaking to the charge...

Amen!

3 months of orientation isn't enough. Our new grads are in orientation for 6 months. It takes a little time to develop those critical thinking skills. You are being too hard on yourself. Forget them... dust your britches off and move on to another RN...
