  13. Do APNPs continue learning?

    Alexxoxox replied to Alexxoxox's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  18. ER vs OR?

    Alexxoxox replied to Alexxoxox's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thank you for this. It is very insightful. I have actually been going back between this and Cardiac Surgery APNP (first assist). Would a cardiac surgery APNP be more often assisting in surgery than a...
