I agree with nitinajwani. I'd like to further say that in light of the push for more APRNs, 2012 could be a great year for those considering re-entering school and getting a grad-level education. With more NPs able to practice, the field of nursing will definitely grow throughout all levels of education, hopefully helping to establish a more streamlined way of treating patients while managing insurance companies, hospitals and auxiliary treatment providers.
