Then upon graduating and working as an NP they don't really know what they are doing because they never practiced as an RN. Yet they are expected to be at the even higher NP level. Good on you for trusting your instincts and going at your own pace with the program.</p>JenniferMon, 06 Apr 2009 21:18:03 -0000
