    nursetim replied to kelmc0824's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  2. Age limits for Adult Nurse Practitioners in Washington State? Please?

    nursetim replied to JHU_BlueJay's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    nursetim replied to litebrightgirl's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  8. NP Changes that need to happen...

    nursetim replied to Sabotai's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    nursetim replied to BlueDevil,DNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    nursetim replied to pedspnp's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    nursetim replied to abcdefg's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    TicAL, while I agree about ICU, DNP programs seem to run 3 yrs full time, FNP post grad cert runs 1-2 yrs. To say med students could complete 5 yrs in 1.5 yrs is antagonistic and a spurious argument...
