    FNPdude74 replied to starla76's topic in Government, Military

    Shapely, Thank you for your reply! I know that the roles are totally different of an RN and FNP. It's just that the recruiter here told me even though i would have my masters, I would have to go in...

  8. Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

    FNPdude74 replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    FNPdude74 replied to starla76's topic in Government, Military

  11. New NP in the military

    FNPdude74 replied to starla76's topic in Government, Military

    I totally agree with this. All needs to be in writing. I also agree with you in that the role of the RN is not the same as the role of the FNP. Yet, the navy nurse corp panel I interviewed with today...

    FNPdude74 replied to starangel2's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry about your loss of your loved one. From what you said, I wouldn't be able to tell you what it means because it could mean anything actually. If they said you're at the top of the pool, then you...
