   Thank you for the thorough response! I’m starting to think that collaboration is something we can do without being forced to supervision and collaboration. Physicians very often collaborate with each other. Being independent doesn’t mean that we’ll n...

   ICUnurseEst2015 replied to ICUnurseEst2015's topic in NP

   I appreciate your input. And totally agree with you. NPs have a more holistic approach to patient care (from what I am starting to see). It doesn’t have to be a competition. Sadly, AMA makes it seem that way. It’s about patient safety and access to e...

   Thanks for the response. NP certification toward independent practice definitely needs a lot of work. But we’re headed that way whether AMA likes it or not. ? I would never ask anyone to write my paper neither will I be using any of your ideas since ...

   Hello! I am currently studying to become a nurse practitioner and I am writing a paper about the lack of independence NPs face in California. I would like to know what it's like to work with a physician in the sense of supervision. My idea is that th...

    Anyone can say what the APEA exam is like? I’m kinda worried because I have only read what I need to to complete the assignments. Pathophysiology appears to have no tests. How did you pass the APEA? Did you actually read all the chapters? Any tips fo...

    ICUnurseEst2015 replied to DermNP2Be's topic in NP Students

    You don’t have to decide until you’re close the end. I would like to do urgent care and I think you need FNP for that. I think you can do internal medicine as FNP can’t you?
