    jeepgirl replied to revolution's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  8. Working as travel RN after graduating FNP??

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

    jeepgirl replied to the sparrow's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    jeepgirl replied to CNM2B's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    jeepgirl replied to may8755's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yeah, go for the PNP-PC/PNP-AC dual program if that is what you want. I "heard" that if your job is mainly inpatient or acute care, that JACHO is really pushing for the ACUTE CARE certifications......
