What is the difference between the different certification exams to become a nurse practitioner?

Is one test easier? More widely accepted or preferred? Does it depend on what state you plan to practice in? #FNP #APRN #boardcertified

Why should I get a Doctoate versus a Masters degree to become a nurse practitioner?

I am currently in a DNP program but there are masters program that take less time to complete and you can still work as a nurse practitioner. Is the extra school to get the doctorate worth it? #DNP #FNP

How do you know if you've hit your "moment?"

Being indecisive really complicates the college search. I'm always afraid that my "moment" of realization will miss me. What if I never realize what I want to do? What if there are other people who have missed their boat? These are honestly the biggest stresses for me as I'm hitting the end of...

What resources are available to deal with stress from classes?

Sometimes the workload from assignments and frustration from not understanding material can be overwhelming. Are there resources provided to help students during these times or during midterm and finals? #college-stress

How much writing and reading are expected?

Sometimes you can't understand what you're reading unless you break it down to annotate, and annotating takes long itself to do. Do all subjects require to do that as well?

How can you manage your time in college?

I'm asking this because college can take up a lot of your personal time. Like will there be a lot of homework everyday for every subject? There will be deadlines around the same time so what can you do to turn it in on time.
