    bajasauce07 replied to arelle68's topic in General Nursing

    Medicine has EVERYTHING to do with how knowledgeable you are and NOTHING to do with how nice you are. It's just good to be nice as well. As far as the comment above about NP vs PA? You can come out of...

  18. Physician assistant versus Nurse practitioner

    bajasauce07 replied to xng's topic in Nursing Career

    Sorry, I think I misread your post. By "practicing solo" I mean operating independently of a physician. As in they are admitting/rounding on their own patients, or working in an ICU without an MD...
