  3. NP or MD

    Aromatic replied to HIstudent808's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  4. Way too many NP programs and grads!

    Aromatic replied to momofm1998's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  6. Way too many NP programs and grads!

    Aromatic replied to momofm1998's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    probably the only way to make stuff more regulated is to add a board exam prior to starting np clinical. at least that will force students to at least be somewhat knowledgably competent prior to see...

  8. What is "The Nursing Model?"

    Aromatic replied to RNDude2012's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  9. On the chopping block? Need some encouragement

    Aromatic replied to SnowShoeRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  12. What/why do they say our classes are fluff?

    Aromatic replied to AAC.271's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

  13. NP's answering to Nursing Management?

    Aromatic replied to ohiosam2's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    nursing departments, i am sure at least many, would love to be over everybody. some of them are like huge macrophages extending out their processes trying to engulf any and all into their clutches to...

  14. Way too many NP programs and grads!

    Aromatic replied to momofm1998's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    yeah pretty much. med school overall filters those who don't need to be there out better than NP school. that being said. both can make great providers if they work hard and have some

  15. New NP: Nervous, need resources and advice!

    Aromatic replied to Flaring's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  18. What/why do they say our classes are fluff?

    Aromatic replied to AAC.271's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Nursing is a great profession and probably the most important single role in healthcare but I'm pretty sure the OP would buy a turd and wear it proudly if somebody stamped the word "nurse" into

  19. The Decline of Physicians: Do we really need them anymore in Primary Care?

    Aromatic replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  22. What/why do they say our classes are fluff?

    Aromatic replied to AAC.271's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Aromatic replied to Robinson1957's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP
