 NP
Students & Graduates
Sheri
Stern, NPAM member, has put together a Survival Guide for Graduating NPs which
outlines the steps (and timeline) you need to follow to become a fully licensed
and certified and practicing NP in Maryland.
Sheri developed the
Survival Guide while working as adjunct faculty for UMAB's NP Proram as well as
a UMAB Preceptor for the Psych NP Program. Thanks to
Sheri for putting this together.
Sheri will be available to take questions from
students and new grads to help them transition into practicing NPs.

Survival Guide for Graduating NPs here or contact the NPAM office
