   CrazyPremed replied to clearly's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   You've gotten some great responses to your questions. I've worked Tele and ICU for a little over two years, and can understand what you are trying to ask. I think great advice would be to work in an...

6. Anyone NOT have enough exp before NP school?

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

   This is one of the few things that frustrates me with the NP path. Although this is a generalization, it seems that - If I went to PA school - I could find a job in an ER, with a Cardiologist, FP...

14. Should I get NP?

    CrazyPremed replied to misplaced1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My advice is to stick with the NP program. You have three years before you finish and this will give you plenty of familiarity with the nursing field. Also, it may not be as difficult to find an NP...
