    Yes, seeing patients in the NP role. I'm not crazy about it. I like teaching better. But my mentor who I respect felt strongly that it was important for me to get the NP experience first. I...

    imisscoco replied to jstuben's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  12. New, looking to talk with NPs

    imisscoco replied to Roaen's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP
