    Amen to that! "Alphabet soup", seems a little mean-spirited! See it in my own life. Graduating next month with my PMHNP. Not all my coworkers are happy for me. Many are very supportive, though. At a...

  14. Barnstormin', that is interesting about New York! I did not know that. It is too bad, as that can be very limiting. The reason given is that they want to control the quality of the programs, but I...
