  14. 2015 Requirements for APRN certification

    Barnstormin' PMHNP replied to Jgun359's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    A DNP is not required to practice as a provider at the APRN level. This is just another way for colleges to make money in my opinion. The doctorate degree is also more of a research degree and not a...
