  2. Online Study

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

    I'm in the final year in the FNP track. Program is wonderful, but brutal on time. I track my hours pretty closely and I'm now averaging 50 hours per week, including study, clinical, lectures and...

  3. Universities dropping GRE requirement?

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

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

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

  9. Why are male nurses looked down on?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to USCUAmber's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to USCUAmber's topic in Male Nursing Students

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

  18. Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

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

  20. Why are male nurses looked down on?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to USCUAmber's topic in Male Nursing Students

  22. Graduate School - B grades - allways required?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to mbtran321's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I always wonder about that. The mean for each exam is published but without any central tendencies other than the mean. I just assume that there are a few who crap out and a few who nail it whilst I...

  23. Graduate School - B grades - allways required?
