    PMFB-RN replied to Animal3's topic in Government, Military

    Code Blue

    RN vs NP vs DNP

    PMFB-RN replied to Wrangler156's topic in Nursing Career

    there is no such thing as fnp (family nurse practitioner) vs dnp (doctor of nurse practice). a dnp is merely a degree and does not in it's self entitle one to work in any particular field. there are...

    Magnet status? Hospitals choosing BSN new grads. Important!!!! over ADN??

    PMFB-RN replied to mirc88sl's topic in General Nursing
