NR-661 Week 3 All in One: Outcomes, Readings This week, you will take your first 150-question practice test through the APEA site. Your score (as a percentage) on your first attempt this week wi... ll be recorded as a 50 point exam in Canvas. You will continue to explore content that you have been exposed to while in the FNP program and you will use your certification review plan that you created during Week 1 to help you prepare for this exam. You will get two additional attempts at practice exams later in the term during Week 5 and Week 7. The focus of the APEA review this week will be on hematology, orthopedics, and dermatology. Make sure you watch Dr. Hollier's lectures and that you practice questions in the QBank as well as read supplemental materials in the Hollier certification review manual, program textbooks, and AccessMedicine. As you continue in clinical this week, we will start mid-term check-ins by telephone with your you and your preceptor. Be sure to remind your preceptor that mid-term evaluations will be due soon in MyEvaluations. Consider what goals you have for yourself as you approach your final weeks of clinical in this program. Focus on any weak areas and make sure you expose yourself to new learning experiences in your clinical practicum!

Each week this term, we have looked at Brown and Olshansky’s (1997) Limbo to Legitimacy model. So far, we have discussed the first stage, Laying the Foundation, and last week we reviewed Launching, likely the most difficult stage of your transition to advanced practice with associated feelings of being an imposter, anxiety, worries about getting through the day, and battling a busy schedule while you are performing at a slower pace. This week, we will explore the third stage of the model, Meeting the Challenge: According to Brown and Olshansky (1997), Meeting the Challenge is phase that is much less hectic than Launching. New NPs in this stage feel less anxious, more settled, and more legitimate. NPs start to recognize and understand concerns and issues in their work environment that are affecting their practice. A hallmark of this phase is the development of a clear picture of yourself as an NP. Expect to start this phase sometime after 6-12 months of full-time practice. The components of the Meeting the Challenge phase are (1) Increasing competence, (2) Gaining confidence, and (3) Acknowledging system problems. You will have seen repeated patient experiences, which will make clinical decision making both easier and faster. You will become more skillful in managing patient flow, incorporating procedures into practice, and working with your peers and office staff. And just maybe, you will get to leave the office on time!
