  2. SRNA to FNP

    corbon replied to guest416560's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    corbon replied to jesshopper12's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

  6. FNP or ACNP program

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

  7. FNP or ACNP program

    corbon posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I could do either FNP or ACNP, but which area would have a greater demand in the job market? Could a FNP fill the role of an ACNP and vice versa? What are the pro's and con's of each?

  9. Leave a staff position to travel in this economy??

    corbon replied to hagmayer's topic in Travel

  12. Should I travel?

    corbon replied to NuNurse38016's topic in Travel

  16. Venting about travelers (semi pun)
