  5. NEW RN "But old LPN"

    Melody007_FNP-C replied to JamiR369's topic in Nursing Career

    Melody007_FNP-C replied to AshleelRenee's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  9. American Sentinel University

    Melody007_FNP-C replied to LadieRn's topic in Colorado Nursing

  12. Do I really need a DEA?

    Melody007_FNP-C replied to AshleelRenee's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Melody007_FNP-C replied to Cwoods's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I agree! I am a conservative NP and happy to see a change take place. I think Obamacare causes us to make less due to lower reimbursements. We have insurance through my husbands work. We have a high...
