  1. Sick of other NPs abusing patients - psych practice

    Gentleman_nurse replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi FullGlass First, breathe! Second a few questions. From your post, it seems the others are certified in primary care, not psychiatry. What is the current scope and practice of NP's in...

  3. Regretting my decision to become a nurse

    Gentleman_nurse replied to FNPtoB's topic in General Specialties

    Hi FNPtoB Nine years is not a waste. You figured out what doesn't work. I second Kitiger. What is it that you feel about the nursing profession that distresses you? I don't want to assume....

  4. Calling all PNPs- Am I totally wrong here?

    Gentleman_nurse replied to babynurse613's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Gentleman_nurse replied to Nmink's topic in Critical Care

  6. Feeling Lost As An NP

    Gentleman_nurse replied to plantmom4lyfe's topic in Advanced Practice

    plantmom4lyfe, It's not you, your lack of experience, or primary care. You're not alone in feeling this way. It's 'assembly-line' healthcare. The line is increasing faster than we can keep up. We...

    Gentleman_nurse replied to KMuniz's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  11. NP school application question- Confused on what they're asking

    Gentleman_nurse replied to scrubulator's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The way I interpret it is: Question 1. Why a MSN vs another type of degree or certificate? Why that school vs another school? What do you hope to learn? Question 2. What are your plans after earning...

  12. Why do clinics advertise for an NP for months and months without hiring?

    Gentleman_nurse replied to FullGlass's topic in Advanced Practice
