Here, I make a very strong case AGAINST requiring NP applicants to have a certain number of years of experience as a nurse. Especial...

Nurses and nursing students seem to be somewhat delusional and reacting emotionally instead of logically to the new student loan caps on graduate nursing programs.

Nurses supposedly learn evidence-based practice, yet are not applying evidence to their reaction to these new restri...
