Hello Everybody!!!!

Hey guys,

How are you guys? Any new jobs started out there? I thought boards were a mix of tricky and easy and I was excited to see that I had passed, but I still don't have my paper results (which I am very curious to see). Just wondering how everybody is doing. Hope you are all having a great summer!

Politics

Here's a chance to do some easy "politicking." Remember the last day of class when Ruth was telling us about the Medical Home concept being pushed by the AMA in front of Congress? Well, the AANP website has a way for us to easily contact our representatives and tell them that NPs and other providers should be represented in an upcoming demonstration. Just click "here" and you will be taken to the AANP's advocacy center's link for this issue.

Have a great week!

I Passed!

Hi everyone,
I took boards yesterday and I passed! I thought the test was extremely hard; I thought for sure I had failed until I saw the screen pop up saying that I had passed. David said he thought it was pretty easy, so I guess each person will have a different experience. Good luck to everyone who hasn't taken the boards yet, I know you will all pass!

Graduation Pics

Hi Everyone...

Here's the one picture I have that includes someone besides me and my family. Mel, I have some how lost the email you sent to me following graduation...could you please send it to me again so I can post those pictures as well? They were great pictures and I'm bummed I lost them. Thanks! Anyone else who has pictures, please feel free to post to the site or email to me at stacey722@email.com and I will put them up.

We have "sold" our house and close tomorrow. I'm wary about saying "sold" until tomorrow has come and gone without any hitches. It has been a whirlwind month with lots of home improvements, emails, phone calls, and faxes back and forth, but I am so happy we have been able to "sell" on our own....6% in my pocket versus a realtor is a good thing!

I think I'm finally ready to sit down and really study. I scheduled my exam for July 10th to give me a month of solid study time. I'll probably need it since the only studying I've done in the last month is the HGTV kind for ideas on how to stage and sell a house =).

Congrats to those of you who have passed....so exciting and I'm sure a relief. Can't wait until I can say the same!

Hi Guys!

Did anyone take boards yet? I scheduled mine for June 19th. How much are you guys studying? What is anybody studying other than fitzgerald book and tapes? Just wondering. What jobs do you guys have? I feel like a professional interviewee! I have had tons of interviews but I am not exactly sure if I have found something exactly right yet. If I was still in my kids-free single days, it would be a little bit of a different story. Miss you guys!

Hello everyone!

I am studying for boards and am getting nervous since I take them June 11th. That is just 2 weeks away!
I had to fill out the stack of paperwork for credentialling that HealthPartners sent me for my new job; it wasn't so bad, as a new grad there is not much information to give. The worst part was making a copy of the 70-80 pages for myself.
Has anyone received their Metrostate diploma yet? I thought that I would have it by now.
I was wondering if anyone has some graduation photos that they would be willing to e-mail me (adbergstrom@comcast.net). My husband only took 3 pictures with the camera and only one of them turned out - I did not realize he was camera incompetent :).
I put in my resignation at Children's for June 13th since I start my new job July 7th (hopefully), I am more sad about this than I thought I would be; I have been there 13 years and it is scary-sad to leave even though I am excited about my new career. I had better pass boards or I will be without a paycheck! More stress!!:)
