Nurse Practitioner Safer than bedside nursing?

Published

I would like to know if its realistic to assume that nurse practitioners will avoid some of the downsides to being a bedside nurse which is that patients attack nurses. I understand this occurs sometimes and I assume that it happens less to nurse practitioners but I cannot be sure.

Thank you for the feedback.
