    Let's take a poll
  13. (IN)Appropriate Dress

    I have no problem with the NPs. Just the inappropriate attire. Not to go off on a tangent, but how do you judge a Nurse Practitioner as competent? Incompetent is easy to spot. Competent is

  15. (IN)Appropriate Dress

    I am not an NP. I apologize for any confusion. I am in school for my MSN in Administration. I am simply of the opinion that Nurse Practitioners should dress appropriately. NPs represent the most...

    Dress is not important so long as it is done appropriately. We are all professionals and must act as such. The Nurse Practitioners that you describe apparently understand this concept and are not...
