    emtneel replied to christvs's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    emtneel replied to emtneel's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    emtneel replied to hello101's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  16. Student loans?

    emtneel replied to AlishaNHayzley's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  20. ACNP??? Are my expectation too high?

    emtneel replied to RENP1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Also go to Advance for Nurse Practitioners and look at their recent salary survey. Also look up what RN's make in your area. 50,000 is usually at or below what a RN makes. I don't think 65k is too...

    emtneel replied to TWUSN10's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think you have a good plan for several reasons. Yes many Neonatal programs require NICU experience, so you could be working towards the PNP. You may need to consider, are they going to pay for 2...
