    Ohm108 replied to Ohm108's topic in School, College Programs

    Unfortunately, they made the change to the website around mid-2016. I don't know the exact date but it should be pretty close. I know this because I was checking out the website and deliberately...

  15. What do you sign?

    Ohm108 replied to RunNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Seems a bit redundant and a bit overboard if she is putting every single one of her post nominals. My understanding is that the etiquette is Education, Licensure, then Speciality. I would just put...

    Ohm108 replied to WCSU1987's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
