  2. New NP

    tonet0908 replied to SAM49's topic in Advanced Practice

    LOL, for $450/yr it better be that good. The NPPR takes a while a while for you to recieve it because it is released quarterly. So it depends on when you ordered

  3. New NP

    tonet0908 replied to SAM49's topic in Advanced Practice

    Also, NPPR is current as well, they send you a new manual quarterly as well as weekly emails with updates. You can also go on their website to look meds up. I've been using it since grad school when...

  4. New NP

    tonet0908 replied to SAM49's topic in Advanced Practice

  5. New NP

    tonet0908 replied to SAM49's topic in Advanced Practice

  10. What do you do if you are assigned a patient you know outside of work?

    tonet0908 replied to cogath's topic in General Nursing

    tonet0908 replied to 2bRN4BABES21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
