  4. Legal Nurse Consultants out there?

  14. United Healthcare Housecalls

    She is Nassau County Long Island. If I'm not mistaken that was her first NP job, I don't believe she worked elsewhere as a NP. She did however have home care experience as a RN. If there are a lot of postings in your area it may not hurt to apply no...

  20. Clarification on the DNP requirement of 2015
