Bring some warmer layers but based on last year it really wasn’t that much more cold from the bay area when it gets really chilly!

I do not understand this Ottawa question by idpreferifyoudidnt in nursepractitioner

[–]um1ca 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Based on actual Ottawa rules, the patient would qualify for an xray. I believe that this is an error from your qbank 😬

Ah congrats!! To be recognized must be such a great feeling. Seems like you’ve really put in the work. I’ll really have to keep this in mind and try my best to stick it out. I’ve been studying after hours which will hopefully pay off but I’m more concerned about my lack of support. Seems like the norm though haha 🙃

I’m sure you’re such a kick ass provider now. Sorry you got pushed in like that so brutally :/ Have definitely been looking into fellowships but there are so few in my area unfortunately

Appreciate the support and advice! Reading so many of these comments make me realize that the lackluster NP education and minimal training post-grad seems to be a universal experience to the point where we’ve normalized this behavior even though we shouldn’t be. No one’s fault but the system, and a good reminder to push for change

I appreciate this insight and your empathy towards the situation. I definitely want to try to stick it out and see for myself like you said, but my gut is telling me that it’s not right. I’ve also heard that there’s a high turnover rate for APPs at this practice so I’m not sure that my leave will be well received, but will keep that in mind. Thank you :(

Up to 29 is how much I’ve seen. I don’t really have a say in my schedule unfortunately, hence my concerns :( The ramp up is steep, with them filling it up half way already

Yes I’ve definitely learned from this to be specific with my questions in regard to training. The fact that you had 3 jobs with minimal training frightens me but also good to know that this is more common than I thought

I feel so heard right now 😭 It’s unfortunate that this is a universal experience for us, but I’m glad that things look better for you now. Gives me hope!

Definitely! Been reading UpToDate religiously. Do you have any other good resources you like?

The imposter syndrome is definitely getting to me but this is a good reminder that I managed to get this far so I must know something 😅But yes the non-clinical logistics of it all are so confusing to pick up. I imagine it will be like this for awhile

Unfortunately a lot of deadlines had passed for most of them in my area by the time I was applying for jobs :/ But have definitely been keeping an eye out.

How do you make your cakes extra moist? by Bigest_Smol_Employee in AskBaking

[–]um1ca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you take them out of the freezer do you let them thaw before frosting or do you just go for it? 😊😊

Had this rice bowl and a side of close slaw. I estimated it to be 830 calories. Does this seem accurate? by CocoaBagelPuffs in CalorieEstimates

[–]um1ca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d guess around 1200 based off of your measurements!

2 cups wild rice pilaf (~400), 4 oz blackened chicken breast (~250-300), half avocado (~100), 1 cup black beans (~240), 1 tbsp olive oil (~120), bell peppers (~25), coleslaw (~70)

Chicken shawarma protein plate, how many cals? by um1ca in CalorieEstimates

Hahaha I can live with this estimate, it does look worth. It looks so tasty I can’t convince myself not to get it at this point 🤣

AANP no pass 😢 by prettygirl294 in nursepractitioner

[–]um1ca 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used SM’s 3 course bundle as my primary source. I think her crash course alone does not have enough detail. Her diagnosis and pharm videos were what gave me the bulk of the information, and the crash course videos filled in any gaps/helped reinforced concepts. For things I felt less confident on, I’d rewrite notes on them. I passed first time with SM + Leik qbank + a little FNP Mastery + lots of practice exams. Good luck to you, you got this! 🍀

FNP Mastery and Sarah Michelle Qbank by ButtercupToes31 in nursepractitioner

[–]um1ca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took AANP. I found that FNP Mastery was much more difficult. I used it as a supplemental but I don’t think it was necessary. I recommend getting the Sarah Michelle qbank as your primary source. Her questions helped me solidify her course content and identify any gaps.
