1. Any UAB NP students/graduates?

   Atl_John replied to Riker3's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   I am in the ACNP/RNFA program at UAB about to graduate in 65 days. To the original question I'd choose ACNP over the ANP. You can sit for both boards, you get primary care training within the ACNP...

2. Best Schools for NP Programs?

   Atl_John replied to NStiger88's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

7. NP working as RN

   Atl_John replied to love-d-OR's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   I think its sad that a NP would go back to working as a RN. But maybe that is because I do not always enjoy the work as a bedside nurse. I personally do not enjoy cleaning up my patients, and...
