   Did I choose the wrong career? Hopeless new grad

   LLLovely replied to Calicokitty8's topic in First Year After Licensure

   Elizabeth Warren says doctors, nurses don't treat black women same way as other women

   LLLovely replied to Kallie3006's topic in Nursing News

    Job market FL vs. CO

    LLLovely replied to LLLovely's topic in Advanced Practice

    I agree that DNP is not necessarily worth more money, but that part of it doesn't add much time. I am interested in the DNP because eventually it will be the standard, and because I would like the...

    If I fail a class in my BSN program do I still have a chance to get into NP school?
