Looking for a new gyn

Published

No idea where to post this question, so I'm posting this is the General Nursing discussion.

In grad school in Chicago, my general practitoner (an NP) also acted as my gyn. I liked her & it was handy have one person to do both the jobs of the annual gyn exam + routine primary care.

Since moving back to Philly (3 years ago), I haven't gotten a new gyn. I know, I know I have to get one. Am overdue on my Pap. Not too crazy about my current PCP & was thinking maybe I should find an NP to be both my PCP & gyn.

But, I have no idea if there are a lot of NPs out there who are jacks (or jills) of all trades & can serve as gyns and PCPs.

You'd think I'd know something about this since I'm in nursing school, but I don't. Anybody want to dispel my ignorance on this topic.

Thanks.

Caroline
