Can NPs work as RN's?

[1nuttynurse]

We have a big debate going on right now, once I get my NP can I still work as a "regular" RN? or am I always going to have to take a job as an NP?

yes you may work as an rn. i have a friend who does it now because she couldn't find an np job that she liked in the area.
