Will be graduating soon, will looking for a job in primary care after I pass my boards. Wondering if you all had advice on how to go about looking for a job?
For NP School, we had Buttaro Primary Care, did any of you read that in your programs? I am wondering how comparable it is to Cecil's Essentials of Internal Medicine. If any of you read Cecil's Essentials, how did it compare to your NP texts if you r...
I am a nurse practitioner student and one thing I really want to do is to go through a cadaver lab. My nursing school and NP school has zero cadaver opportunities. Everyone I know who had the opportunity said it was really helpful to visualize the 3D...
Thanks for all the responses, a natural follow up question would be what should an NP be doing to improve their clinical skills to be as good as an MD/DO?
I remember years ago that there was all this talk about when they were beginning to really push for DNPs in the late 2000's and early 2010's, there was talk about a certification exam that would be similar to the physician USLME step 3. There were de...
Perhaps after years (or decades) of practice, do you think an NP can be as skilled in providing primary care as an MD? Or will the NP forever be lacking something for not going to medical school?
Is there any advantage that AGNP has over an FNP. I'm talking specifically about outpatient care (not an ACAGNP). It seems to me that when it comes out outpatient or primary care, FNP just seems the objectively better option. If you want to work with...

I'm 29 y/o and I've been working as an RN on a surgical floor for a little over 2 years. This has been my first and only nursing job since graduating. I actually really do like my job. I think the work environment is healthy, my bosses are very suppo...
I just finished my second week on my own after orientation on the surgical floor. Definitely certain days are better than others. I'm feel I'm starting to get depressed from my work. There's just so much I don't know and I don't know what I don't kno...
