1. Bad idea to quit after 6m as a new grad for DNP school?

   Theanxiousnurse replied to Theanxiousnurse's topic in General Nursing

   @Calm and collected PAs don’t have bedside experience before entering into advanced practice roles. I think as long as you have quality education/training and work hard to always learn in your job there’s no reason to need years of bedside RN experie...
