    Based on your response if you know of another opportunity take it, I doubt it could be much worse and chances are a lot better. Sounds as if this current office does not deserve

  8. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    prairienp replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

  13. Experience with Distance Ed NP programs

    prairienp replied to Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The ability to state you can work full time while attending a graduate FNP program is exactly what our critics want to hear. How many other professional graduate degrees, (select any one) have their...

  15. Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

    prairienp replied to jstuben's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    [quote=core0;3232387 Fortunately for me there are plenty of NPs like the previous poster that are happy to spout of their opinion about NP independence and run down PAs. We have a name for that in the...

    prairienp replied to jstuben's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  22. Getting in a top NP program

    prairienp replied to 2bJoshRN9788's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP
