    CRNA2BKY replied to dazywhale's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Here's my thoughts: 1. Yes, many nurses work full-time while going through an MSN-NP program. When it get's to clinicals, some nurses will choose to drop down to part-time or PRN to concentrate on...

    CRNA2BKY replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    When I was still a pilot for an airline (before becoming a nurse) I had a passenger on a flight become unresponsive. I asked one of the flight attendents to ask for medical personnel on board to...

    CRNA2BKY posted a topic in General Nursing

  11. Is a NP also a " Physician?"

    CRNA2BKY replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    CRNA2BKY replied to Dino's topic in Male Nursing Students

    CRNA2BKY replied to Dino's topic in Male Nursing Students

    CRNA2BKY replied to AndiG99's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't have the pre-requ's either, so I took them all at NKU. I thought taking them there was a good idea because then they could see my track record at NKU, and I thought it may give me an edge to...
