A question about field types: v_string vs v_wstring. First of all, let me just say that support for variable-width strings is on my '10 Things I Love about Alteryx'. Having just escaped from a FoxPro environment, I love the intuitive ways Alteryx deals with field sizes. One wonkish question, though: what's the difference between v_string and v_wstring fields?
A: In order to become a nurse, you must complete a 2 year associate's or 4 years bachelor's degree program in nursing. Upon graduation, you should obtain an RN certification and pursue a specialization through an accredited MSN degree program.
All nurse practitioners must first be registered nurses, so a bachelor's degree in nursing is a requirement, as is passing the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN). Then, you'll have to get a nurse practitioner degree, which can take anywhere from two to four years to procure. Then there's additional certification to use the APRN title and board certification for your specialty (women's health, pediatrics or neonatal, to name a few).
