2. GI vs. nephrology as a specialty?

   mep7296 posted a topic in NP

   I am a fairly new graduate considering the above two specialties. I think that I am slightly more interested in GI, but the nephrology practice is a little more established in my community. I'm really torn, and don't have the actual offers in hand ye...

8. Why do some practices prefer PAs to NPs?

   mep7296 replied to mep7296's topic in NP
