WOW! OMG...that's horrible, they've worked so hard and cannot get work. I will keep all this in mind. Thanks SO much for the info. Good luck to you too!

Thanks for the reply! Which board? I looked at aapn.org but couldn't find anything.

Can any NP's out there give me some info about why they chose the NP route instead of the PA route? I'm interested in furthering my education and am curious about what made others choose NP over PA. I am aware of the NP no longer being an option by 2015 and that it will be a DNP from then on. Currently, I work in the OR and really enjoy surgery which is why I think the PA option would be best for me but definitely want to hear from others. Please reply!! Also, do NP's make as much? It seems the education levels are on par (both masters degrees) but I hear PA's make more. Seems ridiculous to spend money on an education and not reap the same benefits! Any advice you guys want to throw my way would be appreciated...thanks!

Hi everyone! I am planning to move to Florida (Orlando, specifically) and am curious what everyones' opinions are regarding which hospitals are decent/not, average wages for a recent graduate, and how to transfer my license. I've tried to research the license issue but can't seem to find any specific info. Any advice/info you guys feel like sending my way I would definitely appreciate it! Thanks in advance.
