   I totally agree! As a nurse, I observed the difference between psychiatrists and Psych-NP, and I dont want to make one better than the other because they both practice "differently". But I do feel the Psych-NPs are definitely proactive with doing blo...

   CP1983 replied to CP1983's topic in NP Students

   CP1983 replied to jcssagaz's topic in Psychiatric

   I'm also curious if you have the psych experience but not the GPA? I realize the minimum is 3.0 for many of these programs. I'm starting to feel a bit discouraged now. I think that's why I held of from applying because I just assumed they wont look ...

    Anyone taken the RN refresher course at Adelphi or Molloy in NY?

    CP1983 replied to lily1289's topic in New York
