    JDCitizen replied to nursetim's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  17. AANP or ANCC?

    JDCitizen replied to nursetim's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  18. AANP or ANCC?

    JDCitizen replied to nursetim's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    JDCitizen replied to nursetim's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    When my class hit the point of looking at which testing group to use: - AANP was the first up for dates (the main reason we went this route) - We heard the same stories one was harder than the other -...
