I want to become an infectious disease nurse practitioner idnp what colleges offer that masters degree?

Watervliet

Having a certification that specifies ID as a specialty is not nearly as important as having actual work experience in infection control. Get a masters (MSN) and NP license. Do an internship in hospital epidemiology and infection control. Or get a job in those departments. That will be just as good for leading you to your career goal. Also, having public health certification would be good, too, as PH departments often need nurses experienced in infection control and ID.

You can get the nurse practitioner degree at most any school that offers the master's degree in nursing (that's really what it is, the master's degree). After that, if you don't want to do regular office visit type stuff, it's the specialty training that isn't offered everywhere - I can only find the WA school you must be talking about. Also, since different states have different definitions of what a nurse practitioner is and what they are allowed to do, you probably want to look really closely at those definitions based on where you live and where you want to live and work.

Well, it actually depends on what position you are in. It's like the Great Depression all over again. The economy is slightly getting better but many companies are fighting bankruptcy. Many people have/are going to lose/lost their job.
