    INN_777 replied to WCSU1987's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Juan de la cruz, thank you, very helpful to know this. I think the Acute track will give me the flexibility to work in or outpatient. It actually talks a lot about palliative care in the scope of...

    INN_777 replied to INN_777's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP
