2. What can an Internal Med Physician do that a NP can't?

   Darth Nightingale replied to Darth Nightingale's topic in NP

   True. it didn't take me long as an RN to learn that Board Certified physicians know way more than I, and in no way would I assume that a few hundred hours of clinical work as a NP student compares to the rigors of 80 hours weeks for three years as a...
