   nursetvs replied to Marcuscollins's topic in NP Students

   Hi Marcus, Will being a "doctor", or physician, be enough for you is another way to phrase this question. I will preface this response by saying that I am a nurse through and through. The nursing model is a big part of my life. To my nursing colleagu...
