    Why did you do NP?? Instead of Nurse Specialty?

    yellow finch replied to RN28MD's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm just curious... what exactly does "Nurse Specialty" mean? I've heard of MSN programs in Education or Research. Is that what you are referring

    Can you work full time while attending NP school?

    yellow finch replied to ThePrestige's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    ISU program anyone?

    yellow finch replied to smileysenior's topic in Post Graduate Students

    There is absolutely no requirement to visit campus... one of the reasons I chose this program since it was uncertain that I'd be able to do that. No other pre-reqs aside from a BSN. You have to write...

    yellow finch replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Is Emory's Nursing School worth the extremely high tuition??
