  1. ACNP and FNP

    foreverLaur replied to ncaru01's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  8. PA/NP to MD Bridge??

    foreverLaur replied to Joebird21's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    NP education would maybe knock off 2 science courses needed in medical school and that is assuming that those courses are taught at the medical school level. So it would still take a full 2 years to...

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

    Just because someone practices independently doesn't mean they should be or are fully qualified to be doing so. Just because someone does not practice independently doesn't mean they aren't capable of...

  14. Pregnant inmate died after hours of agony in Syracuse jail

    foreverLaur replied to realnursealso/LPN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't care what someone did to land themselves in jail - as a health care provider, you do not have the ability, knowledge, or training to make a judgement call on legal issues. You have no right to...

  20. What's the deal with Columbus State admission?

    foreverLaur replied to foreverLaur's topic in Ohio Nursing
