Specialties NP

Have you ever felt like this? I am having one of those weeks right now, lol. Sometimes I feel that I missed the mark by going the nursing route. I feel that as an NP I don't have the autonomy and respect that I really want. Not only do the docs not take me seriously or trust my judgement, but the nurses don't either. A part of me wants to go ahead and apply to med-school, but I don't want to borrow more money! It will also take a long time to finish, and I wouldn't be practicing as an MD until I'm over 40! :cry:

I guess it depends on where you work and the culture there. I work in AZ and I feel NPs are valued. Now nursing in general in AZ sounds a lil effy but as an NP I have a lot of autonomy.

I wouldn't want to give or take zofran IM, zofran barely works unless it's prophylaxis IMHO; and you can give it IV or subL so why go with IM? OUch!
