    Seeking Advice: Direct Entry Blues

    BostonFNP replied to mk989's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Seeking Advice: Direct Entry Blues

    BostonFNP replied to mk989's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Seeking Advice: Direct Entry Blues

    BostonFNP replied to mk989's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Want to become FNP, but how sure what steps to take afterwards, and how it all works :(

    BostonFNP replied to FNPStudentLife's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Remember that degrees are different from credentials which are different from licensing. Degrees are academic. For APN (advanced practice nursing) you will need to have a master's or a doctorate....

    Are anti-vaccine people conspiracy theorists generally?

    BostonFNP replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    It's interesting that gets brought up because it really is a symptom of the same problem. We are moving faster and faster towards a society that has no trust in expertise, facts, or the truth rather...
