A far as technical? Coding. No one teaches you how in school and it is very important to do it right

Re: What would you say is the hardest technical part of being an NP?

I am beginning to see that codingis a HUGE piece! There should be an entire course in coding alone!!!!!

And as far as handling insurance companies - I'm hoping that the fact that I used to work for one will help me...I know that is going to drive me nuts.

Im heading into my last semester - is this the part where the quakin in my boots gets better or worse?
