   Sabotai replied to Sabotai's topic in NP

   The limitation to the NP profession being based in the hands on care of nursing, not being a phlebotomist, pt aide, ma, etc... These are things that I find give you pretty much no experience in patient care. If you do go into a PA program that doesn...

   Sabotai replied to Sabotai's topic in Men

   Why do I see so many posts about NPs on these forums saying they don't expect to make 100k and some even saying that they are fine with 65k etc... Previous to going into nursing I owned a construction company for seven years I made well over 100k a y...
