   medical journals, not nursing journals. I agree that the PA education is better than many NP schools also. *GASP* I have stated this in previous posts. I still went NP though due to less restrictions on us, which I am all for of course, but still put...

   I read nursing journals in school. Never will again. I'll stick to epocrates and uptodate. Where they leave out the fluff and to straight to the point. If we followed all of the stuff they put in those nursing journals, I'd admit like 1/2 of a patien...
