   Buckeyejunk replied to celclt's topic in NP

   whoever put money...ha!! You can make more as a weekend-option RN than any NP job I've ever seen in my area. :) When I was in college I was heading towards medicine but then did not think I wanted the intensity/takes-over-the-next-12-years-of-your-...

   Buckeyejunk replied to ruralnurs's topic in NP

   I'm not sure where I read this, but I thought I could only do prenatal care to 28 weeks. I may have gotten that from my state SOP ...not sure. I would check with your state BON first, then ANCC/body of certification. Remember your state revised cod...

7. salary

   Buckeyejunk replied to johnson0424's topic in NP

   It doesn't give a range, it is a huge alphabetized spreadsheet and you will have to look at it by a person's name and title and see the salary. I am not the person who posted it but I looked at it the other day. I recognize a few of the NP's by na...
