I agree with healthynurse, job security as a self employed NP will take time, alot of time, especially if you're not good at marketing yourself. It's best to start your business when you have a full time job, it's what I am doing now. I have been abl...

I agree to what was said above by ikarus7401 and let me add this, don't waste your money and time going back to school to become CRNA or NP if that's not what you are interested in. Nursing Informatics is in its infancy stage and would not be hard f...

You're welcome, glad I could help!

Hi, I think I might be able to help you out. First off Forensic nursing is called just that, Forensic nursing. There are no Forensic LPNs, they are interested in your nursing knowledge not whether you are an LPN or RN. The only time that comes into p...

To 84RN you still use paper. We do everything on a laptop and all patient information including signing the SOC and ROC is done on the computer, I have no need to carry all that paper but that is something to consider for those Home Healthcare Nurses...
