  3. Online NP school vs In class NP school

  13. All these NPs making less than RNs?

    I decided to go to NP school for several reasons, and yes, money was one of them. Other included lifestyle change, family time...making my own hours if working out of an outpatient office (I am PMHNP), and wanting to learn more and be on the provider...
