    zenman replied to fltnurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'd give New Mexico a slight edge as their BON was the fastest and most efficient I've ever seen. I received a personal phone call from them in 8 business days telling me I had a license. I'd have...

    NP but decided not to practice

    zenman replied to celle507's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You do have a lot of passion but that doesn't trump reality. Check out research on distance education. I'm assuming you'll believe that research if you are a hard believer in evidence-based medicine....
