  1. Nurse Practitioners

    jeangarc18 posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Is there a real demand for NP's? What about ENP's? I'm looking to go grad school in a year or two and I wanted to know which way to direct my nursing career. How does one even become an ENP? I know...

  2. Emergency Nurse Practitioner

    jeangarc18 posted a topic in Emergency

  7. Nurse Practitioners

    jeangarc18 replied to jeangarc18's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I figured it was fairly new since there aren't many programs out here in California for it. I was just confused if they went the FNP route and then branch off... Hopefully by the time I am seriously...

  8. *UNEMPLOYED NURSES*

    jeangarc18 replied to bree*'s topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  9. *UNEMPLOYED NURSES*

    jeangarc18 replied to bree*'s topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    So update: I finally got a job in a small town in the sticks of California. It's probably considered rural nursing. The only problem is the way the hospital is run. I started off "per diem" but worked...
