   Thanks for the tip. I think I will check out UMC in August. Tucson was great and weather was wonderful as usual. I didn't like how TMC looked/set up. Though they have better benefits than St. Joe's, I think I'd be happier at St. Joe's in one of their...

   miko626 replied to jewelcutt's topic in Doctoral

   Thanks for the clarification! Going to/back to get the DNP is always an open option, however I feel like we shouldn't be "forced" into it. Well it's only 2007 now, I guess all we can do is wait
