  11. Nurse Practitioner or Physician's Assistant?

    PostOpPrincess replied to arelle68's topic in General Nursing

    I have found that in my area, the nurses are very highly respected by MDs. Also, we have more NPs than PAs. I think it is a matter of preference and future goals; also, I notice that our MDs tend to...

    PostOpPrincess replied to Dottie, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  24. Family Visitation in the PACU

    PostOpPrincess replied to smidgen21's topic in PACU

    I don't like visitors there; they can't help but be nosy. If we have to let them in, it is all of 5 minutes. Some don't like it--they don't like the loss of control--but I don't like them there when...
