   mahaandai replied to clamchow's topic in NP

   I am sick with PA/NP/MD debates on allnurses forum. It seems same stuff keeps coming back .. which adds no value at all in healthy and fruitful discussions. First, this is a NP specialty sub topic in the allnurses website. I see RNs/LPNs/PAs etc pos...
