   Graceland200 replied to wastingnotime's topic in General Nursing

4. Need honest advice: NP vs. MD

   Graceland200 replied to confusedstudentnurse's topic in NP

    Graceland200 replied to JamieA0321's topic in Colorado

    Jamie, You are not yet ready to apply....so why not re-evaluate in a year? There are other fields that you could go into except nursing that won't put you behind a desk (AKA...occupational therapy). This profession requires pretty much the same pre...
