  7. FNP program pass rate on boards?

    brownrice replied to happygrad06's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi: Don't think UW has a distance FNP option. Even with distance, I would still have to cross the pass a few times. Not as accessible as Spokane, which is closer and no pass! I'm sure they have...

    brownrice replied to soliant12's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    brownrice replied to platon20's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    brownrice replied to platon20's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  15. How long before NPs will be able to do surgery solo?

    brownrice replied to platon20's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Platon....I DO NOT think this an insane idea at all. I too think this will happen. Doctors do not have an extra layer of cerebral cortex. What they do have is training, and the protection offered by...

  20. Anyone at Indiana State NP distance pgm?

    brownrice posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am considering other programs I might attend. After talking with one of the NP/advisors at this University, it seems it may be a good option. It is 100% online distance education. Just an FYI on...

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