  1. Cardiac nurse practitioner program

    mammac5 replied to Billyg's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You could do it at Vanderbilt, but that's definitely not local for you! They offer an Adult NP with concentration in cardiovascular health and disease

  2. Update on offer from Dr. working as RN there while in NP school

    mammac5 replied to lynn5707's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  3. Need some words of encouragement

    mammac5 replied to bayouchick02's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Absolutely normal. As for how long it's going to last, not sure. I just passed boards today and I still feel like an imposter! If nothing else, remind yourself that taking care of adult males is...

    mammac5 replied to lynn5707's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  6. Advice on applying to Vanderbilt MS program

    mammac5 replied to jordans's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  8. Need advice..trouble passing cert exam

    mammac5 replied to notsohopeful's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  9. Physical Assessment Exams

    mammac5 replied to LaxNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  10. Anyone like/use Epocrates or other smartphone software?

    mammac5 replied to AtomicWoman's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  11. Need an online statistics course

    mammac5 replied to LeLeeFNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  13. Not Sure How To Proceed

    mammac5 replied to xos4eva's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    mammac5 replied to GingerRiley's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP
