  4. Is Becoming A NP Worth It?

    harmonizer replied to 8mpg's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What do you get 1 hr per 1 patient? That's not fair comparison. We do not have easier job at all. FNPs do not deal with lengthy documentation and trying to get patient with poor historian b/c of...

  8. Best online Psych NP Program?

    harmonizer replied to IcySageNurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    wrong. First, the salary may not be 90k. 3/4 of my ex-classmates do not get that last year. The salary and demand will probably fall sharply within the next few years since more NP will graduate esp...

  9. Best online Psych NP Program?

    harmonizer replied to IcySageNurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would go to cheaper school. Our salary is still too low to justify $30,000 more of tuition. For high-pay CRNA school, it may be worth it. The market could get worse as the number of enrollment...

    harmonizer replied to megank5183's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  17. Special issues in online ed for Psych/Mental Health

    harmonizer replied to priorities2's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    APA has nothing to do with APRN education. I wish it had so that the ruling can get rid of some of the diploma-mill NP school. You should be reluctant to apply thru any non-synchronous online program...

  23. Is Mandatory DNP by 2015 a Done Deal?
