10. FNP care compared to MD

    IcanHealYou replied to IcanHealYou's topic in NP

    I haven't read the data myself to be honest. However from what I've read (on forums) and heard. NP can deliver great care if not better than some physicians. Again I havent read it myself but I think these studies may also have something to do with ...

15. 2015 DNP Requirement for APNs

    IcanHealYou replied to IcanHealYou's topic in NP Students

    Hmm at what point can you be grandfathered in if it does go through? As long as the program starts before 2015 or you must have been licensed before 2015? It's 2013 now and I'm just applying to school this year. So if I'm lucky I may be able to start...
