  6. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    Humm... I think the issues of entry-level BSN and entry-level DNP can't be compared. Of courses, they are all nurses but the scopes of practice are different. NP can diagnose and treat, while RN can...

  14. Rethink my career path: PharmD VS PMH-NP

    Thanks guys for input. The problem is I have "zero" interest in working in retail pharmacy after graduation. Therefore, $120,000-150,000 starting salary is out of question. I would rather be making...

  22. Medical School --> Nursing School?

    Thanks cherrysky! Retail pharmacy can be stressful when you are very busy. They have to deal with customers, insurance, phone call etc.. That's why I think being dentist would be a better career. I...
  23. Medical School --> Nursing School?

    Yes. I wouldn't say medical school specifically. I would rather go to dental school or pharmacy school. Back then, I was very poor and I had non-US-resident status. Therefore, paying out-of-state...
  24. I was out of work for 5-6 mons taking pre-pharmacy courses & enjoying going to music schools (in other words, it's an escape from nursing). Prior to my unemployment, I had worked as a nurse for 2...
