  2. Some questions about heparin/coumadin, help!

    fanshawe replied to CrystalClear75's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    fanshawe replied to goopsy's topic in Texas Nursing

  17. Financial Aid Advice?

    fanshawe replied to fanshawe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  23. How many of you plan on going beyond BSN?

    fanshawe replied to Idaho Murse's topic in Male Nursing Students

    my intention (read: i have a vague desire) is to pursue a PhD or DNP. i'm not 100% what the DNP actually is, but i'd ideally like to end up with a terminal degree. i think i'd like to teach one day. i...
