1. NP school or pharmacy

   jillbug replied to rapidash425's topic in NP

   I agree...don't do np school then pharmacy school, lots of work and expense. You may want to research the job market in your area - are there more pharmacists or np's needed? Then ask yourself what are your goals, and what do you enjoy doing? Most im...

2. Advice on how to locate preceptors for NP clinics

   jillbug replied to rnattorney's topic in NP

4. ANCC continuine education requirements

   jillbug replied to jillbug's topic in NP

   FYI: I found my answer: it was buried in Ohio law website. Can't state boards make the websites user friendly?!!! Anyhow, for Ohio requirements I will need 6 hrs of pharm (prorated) otherwise it is 12 hours every 2 years.

9. Anyone pay cash for NP school?

   jillbug replied to Jo Dirt's topic in NP

   It is possible to go to school without debt. I did it without any loans or debt. Go over your finances with a fine tooth comb and see what you can save and cut back on. I was able to save enough to get me through school for 3 years. I started off wi...
