    On call question

    core0 replied to JEKA's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    NPs help me please!!

    core0 replied to ghillbert's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think that if you are a large center then it is revenue neutral. The issue is that if you don't have a VAD program you don't get the referrals. The competing center in our town isn't doing many VADs...
