   mrl3fnp replied to Ajwalls24's topic in Texas

   Before I moved to Houston, I'd already have a job lined up because the competition for nurses is quite high! I used to know RNs there that made about $50/hr in some the hospitals. But you most likely will need 2 or more years of RN hospital experien...

2. Too Many Nurse Practitioners?

   mrl3fnp replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks for the info. I wasn't aware that direct entry programs required no nursing experience. I thought that you had to at least have LVN experience to qualify. I must be showing my age because when I went to NP school every one I looked at requi...

3. Too Many Nurse Practitioners?

   mrl3fnp replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

   mrl3fnp replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

7. FNP practicing as a Neonatal NP?

   mrl3fnp replied to adboehnen's topic in NP

   Some states don't require APRN national certifications........In those states, RNs are legally able to practice as a provider. So we need to be careful when we start saying "can't" or "required." I think most nurses come to this website to find tru...
