Remember that I have a BSN so I know about the nursing education... When NP schools require basic science like Organic chem, Genetics, Biochem, etc..., I will consider them legit. Many of my former...
Having a study with BS metrics such A1C, BP, cholesterol level ect... is bologna. It is NOT a valid study... You probably would have understood that if you were a PA or
I do not have a problem with PA as their education is very rigorous; it is just NP (CRNA) with their inferior education that I would not let treat me or family members as I did it before when my wife...
