    Working while in NP school

    turnforthenurse replied to LimeintheCoconut's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If it is financially feasible, I say go for it. As others have said you are making a big investment to your future career and in my opinion, school comes first. I currently work full-time and I...

    turnforthenurse replied to turnforthenurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The only board exams that I know of are the AACN and AANP. Are there others? I'm in an FNP program now but I'm thinking about going back and getting my ACNP as a post-master's so that I would have...
