  5. Are online ANP degrees destroying our credibility?

    megank5183 replied to jilljw's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    it is silly to condemn a school purely for being online. I go to drexel and allll or our exams are proctored. My coworker goes to a brick and mortar school and all his exams are open

  6. New graduate reaction worries

    megank5183 replied to newnurse1611's topic in First Year After Licensure

  7. Really dissapointed in myself

    megank5183 posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  9. Too many online NP programs

    megank5183 replied to laudate's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  10. Too many online NP programs

    megank5183 replied to laudate's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Don't think that it is helpful to look down on anyone who is in an NP program. For profit, B & M, non-profit, etc. We all have opinions on what is best (of course, it is usually what WE did that...

  11. Too many online NP programs

    megank5183 replied to laudate's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    megank5183 replied to matthewandrew's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  25. Any NPs working for the VA?

    megank5183 replied to NPAlby's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That makes me happy to hear! I'm in school to be a psych NP, and my RN salary is low 30s. It's sad, but I think I'd **** my pants for 70 k a year so 120 sounds like hitting the lotto!
