  1. Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

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

    Okey so after reading all of these pages. I think I have an idea about what NP/PA's can do can't do compared to one another. But then again the posts went all over the place so I'm not quite sure....

    Atl_John replied to ClassQ1's topic in Men in Nursing

  4. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    Atl_John replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

  9. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    Atl_John replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Thats bascially what the last 26 pages were about, that and being "equal" to MD's. The DNP is supposed to fill gaps in the NP's education. But there is some debate as to if it does or not....
