Most common disorders seen in practice

[MERCEDES674, MSN, RN]

I was just wondering what are the most common diseases and disorders that you see in your practice. I am going back through my patho book and trying to focus on the most common things that I may come in contact with. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Without question, it's diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia. I also see a lot of depression, STIs, and GERD.

Thanks for the response. Almost all of those that you have named were the ones that I have been focusing on. More input will be greatly appreciated. Oh and as for my specialty it will be FNP!
