No, I'm only good at gross generalizations. But seriously, the variance of NP scope of practice from state to state, the difference in DNP programs and that right now there are only 4 accredited and the amount of class hours (sometimes up to 20-35) d...
Why do you think it's like this? It seems to me like another macro level view of the doctor / nurse but more specifically the gender stereotype based struggle. Nurses (women) can't get it together and form one national board like the AMA and suffer f...
Why would you wait for NEU if you got into Yale, MGH, or BC? That doesn't make any sense, especially since most of those schools have decision deadlines this and next week.

Jack / KoBrien ; Last week, I called every place listed in Boston and hit a brick wall. Jack, where are you working? Maybe they have suggestions as to who else hires/trains and what the contract intails.
I thought that NEU already had conducted their interviews. If you haven't been invited, your chances of being invited at this point are slim to none. In addition, from what I understand from people I know who've gone there, they prefer students with ...
