| Absolutely true for nursing. You can get an RN or an NP degree by attending a mostly online program. Frankly, its bit scary to me. |
Can’t speak to LPNs or RNs but BSNs and NPs are required to complete in person clinicals. And they all have to pass their respective certification exams. |
| Your brother-in-law is correct. My aunt is an emergency room nurse practitioner, and her husband is an electrical engineer in data center management. Their degrees are from NYIT and a SUNY that no one on this forum has heard of. They make $400k a year combined and constantly flex their material posessions and expensive vacations. |
