Hey ladies I think it would be a great idea for us to create a facebook page. I did my BSN online and networking was very beneficial for our group. We had students in all different parts of the US in...
I debated with the exact same thing. I was accepted into an FNP program a year ago. I did so much research and most people advised to do FNP and then specialize. I just could not get motivated enough...
