[NPInfo] Re: CACC & BACC website....

[margienp at aol.com]

Mary M also , had incorrect information in the article she was quoted. 
In florida the professors are telling the DNP students that all np's that do not have a DNP will not be able practice in the future.
As a prof I would think she would want to unite the nursing professiona, seems like she is making?a division.
The schools just want their money, if they are so concerned about the profession? why do they not teach for free!
