    iPink replied to denisep's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Difference between Nurse Practitioner and Clinical Nurse Specialist

    iPink replied to starmickey03's topic in General Nursing

    Also in some states (not all), NPs can practice independently. My goal is to be an FNP, so I like going into the NP forum located in the "Specialty" tab. Great NPs in there help with any questions you...

    iPink replied to Sophiamez's topic in General Students
