    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

  6. FNP program at University of southern indiana

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to PRIMESTAR1's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to RN to Medschool's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Talk about faulty logic. What you fail to mention is that by entering DNP training students are already licensed RN's with a practice-oriented and patient-centered undergraduate degree. Unlike...

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to caitiecait's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I've heard nothing but good things about this program. The first midwife program in the US. The reason I didn't apply there was because I felt funny about the idea of practicing pelvic exams on each...

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College
