Hello, Medic2005,

I am sorry you had to experience the ineffectiveness of this individual. But, please do not base your decision to become NP on this "NP". There are bad HCP in all fields, physician, NP, PA. You just happened to get the bad one.

Yes, NP do work in all aspects of medicine.

Thanks Siri, Is There a web site like AAPA for the NPs,

Thanks Jerry :)
