   Hi thank you for your response! I'm currently in a great job right now as an RN as well which is why I'm not in a huge hurry to get a job as an NP right out of graduation. I think I was just worried that if I "waited" too long and being out of NP sch...

   bete-noire replied to bete-noire's topic in Post Graduate
