   SandBetweenMyToes posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

5. Should i become a nurse practioner or wait?

   SandBetweenMyToes replied to lolalola1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Just a slight clarification...in Ontario, one as yet does not need an MN or MSN to be a Nurse Practitioner. You need an NP certification and to write and pass the RN(EC) (Registered Nurse in the...

11. Will DNPs be chosen over MSNs?

    SandBetweenMyToes replied to Le-Lee_FNP's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

13. RNs being negative about NP school

    SandBetweenMyToes replied to Le-Lee_FNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP
