Reply #142: My Daughter Will Be Finishing Her Degree In May... However, She Has Been

[ChiciB1]

told, and she has told me that she WILL NOT be able to prescribe "controlled substances". She is presenting doing her clinicals and is able to diagnose, practice & prescribe meds with a Dr. present. So far, she has NOT had any problem with the Dr.'s, but perhaps she will in the future.

Yes, she will make more money than she would have as a critical care nurse, but probably not as much as a doctor. So many doctors today have become specialists so she felt there was a need to go back to school to pursue this career. AND, she now has about $50,000.00 in student loans between her son who goes to FSU and herself as she still attend UF.

That's about all I know presently, but I'm glad she's doing what she's doing. In my older age I may have to rely on her for my health care. Plus her husband is also a critical care nurse at an Emergency Room here. It seems it will be a plus for me, but who knows.
