1. 2015 DNP

   Guinea replied to BabyLady's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

   Yeah, you're just so open-minded and not arrogant about your abilities that you think NPs are better than MDs. And what do you think residency is? A classroom setting? Why do you think residents...

2. NP to MD

   Guinea replied to kimkubick's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   No, her numbers were right. Texas public med school tuitions are pretty low, about $16,000 a year, and you typically get a little bit of grant money too. It's the living expenses that increase the...

   Guinea replied to justme1972's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees
