  3. What are some of the "easier" NP programs to get accepted to?

    Gentleman_nurse replied to brinksta's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I get it. You're motivated. You want to apply to safety schools to reduce your risk of not having a place to attend and start. I say this out of caring and empathy. Remove the words "easier" and...

    Gentleman_nurse replied to christina.adams2889's topic in New York Nursing

  9. Seeking Advice: Direct Entry Blues

    Gentleman_nurse replied to mk989's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Gentleman_nurse replied to TroyM's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Gentleman_nurse replied to Michael murray's topic in Male Nursing Students

  22. WARNING Hostos

    Gentleman_nurse replied to maitai_gemini's topic in New York Nursing

    I am very familiar with Hostos. The health science and honors programs are outstanding. The other departments not so much. Because it is CUNY, lack of NLN accredited will not impede you in finding...
