   Riles241 posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   Riles241 replied to wanderlust99's topic in New York Nursing

   I agree. As someone who will be soon seeking a new grad job, I'm perfectly content with starting at 70k. Everyone has a different lifestyle, but I disagree that earning 70k a year is "barely doable"...

8. Question about titers and shots

   Riles241 replied to avidhunter3's topic in General Students

   You have to have the titers done first and then that'll determine if you need boosters. I had titers done for MMR, Hep B and Varicella and they determined I had no immunity to varicella and about 95%...
