Midnight Diaries of a FNP Student

I am in a celebratory mood as I have submitted all of my assignments for my very first course in FNP school! I can’t wait to start my next class, which opens on Saturday. I also give an update regarding what I’ve been doing to keep me busy in between courses. See you next week for another episode. For comments or questions, email me at [email protected]

Another long episode, but more direct information. This is Part 2 of the two-episode series on how I pre-study for FNP clinical (as well as didactic and the boards). This time I am going to share about the apps I use to study. I use these when I have idle time. They really challenge my brain. By the way, you can now directly email me to send in your comments and questions. I would love to hear from you. Email me at [email protected].

Just realized that most of the content in this episode was talked about in a previous episode. Talk about mom brain (or student brain.) no worries. This has additional info compared to the previous episode. Warning: long episode. I rambled on. This is the first episode of a 2-episode series on how I pre-study for FNP clinical. In this episode, I talk about what book I use to study concepts related to family medicine and talk about podcasts that I listen to. Next week, I will post the 2nd episode in the series, which will focus on apps I use to pre-study for clinicals.

No, we don’t want to get sued. I’ve been tasked to talk about the benefits of malpractice insurance. Listen to my ramblings about what I’ve read and heard about malpractice and watching out for your back by buying your own insurance.

Warning! This is not a well thought out episode. I fee like I just rambled about my textbook readings on credentialing and privileges. Then, I go on a spiel about how I pre-study clinical topics even though I am still in the theory/nursing foundations courses of the FNP program. Please do chime in on the conversation!

Just want to reflect on what I get and what I do as an AANP student member.

This week, someone asked me what I missed the most since going back to school, and I said sleep. Don’t mind baby babbling in the background. No childcare on Saturdays!

I was so surprised to know how the APN role has expanded worldwide. Here are my thoughts on the global expansion of APN role and what I would like to see in the future.

In this episode, I talk about the confusion of the DNP degree with other healthcare professional degrees.

Just some ramblings about why I want to pursue becoming an FNP career. Spoiler: It is about the nursing approach to care.
