    goofeegirl replied to APN Under Construction's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    goofeegirl replied to msn-fnp09's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  8. Anyone interested in moving to New Mexico?

    goofeegirl replied to TX RN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  9. Restricted license in one state, considering moving to another after probation

    goofeegirl replied to mullen831's topic in Nurses Recovery

  12. College based health center FNP pay

    goofeegirl replied to SamIAm221's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The university where I got my BSN was hiring FNPs for their health clinic and the salary was only about $65K. Very low, IMO when you can make that as a RN. I decided against applying based solely on...

    goofeegirl replied to MichelleRN34's topic in Nurses Recovery

    goofeegirl replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Nurses Recovery

  23. Need Help with GPA requirement and School of Choice

    goofeegirl replied to Born_2BRN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Look into Indiana State University's MSN program. I thought they did away with it for the DNP but it looks like it's still in progress. They don't require the GRE and your GPA looks like it might get...
