14. PharmD student - pursue FNP afterwards?

    tentay87 replied to BSNtoPharmD's topic in General Nursing

    I am almost 100% sure that all NP programs require 1 yr of experience, 2 yr+ preferred. I can't think of why someone would invest in an NP program without testing if they liked nursing first. With me,...

15. If you are a CNA in California, Can you continue as an RN in the Philippines ?
