    Total Number of Nurse Practitioners Hits 325,000

    strawberryluv replied to MentalKlarity's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I don't understand and believe this NP saturation claim. As long as there are sick and old people which we are heading to with over 20% of our population being elderly living with a chronic disease....

    Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

    strawberryluv replied to guest416560's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Concerns with safety after orienting a foreign graduated nurse

    strawberryluv replied to whatisgonnabemyname's topic in General Nursing
