    Oh wait...I was accepted to Family Nurse Practitioner. Also, does anyone know the estimated cost per year? I can find that it's roughly $991/credit, but what does that turn out to be? And how good...

  11. NP education - a rant

    EffinP_Meg replied to CatskillNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  12. NP w/no desire for RN?

    EffinP_Meg replied to Pinoy2.0's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP
