    Should I work in ICU before becoming an NP

    Cococure replied to alexamasan's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    As the previous poster said ICU will be great if want to do CRNA or ACNP. The ER in my opinion would be a better area because you will see many of the conditions seen in primary care and become...

    So disappointed with on-line program

    Cococure replied to JBMmom's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Can you work weekend nights option? I did it for as long as I could and it worked great. The exploding online education is not great for the NP's future. I totally understand that you want a great job...

    RN MGR Told me I'm too old.

    Cococure replied to gumbi_12's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Shockingly low NP pay !

    Cococure replied to Jm0136's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thank you for saying that, its always easy to assume that NP's not making 100k are being slided but many fail to consider the State. Many of the NP's that report salaries on this site are from NY,...
