I'm looking for advice on specialty options. I'm adult-gero NP and really don't want to work in family practice. I prefer to know a lot about a little. I'm looking at specialty options right now...
My brother in law is a rheumatologist and I have talked with him about his hiring process for NP's in his practice. First thing he looks for is rheumatology experience - although 99% of applicants...

Sapphire, are you saying that I can do clinicals in a rheumatology clinic and get credit for them in the program? That would be great. I have never heard this
