Hello! I am looking for some advice about a job change. I am a GNP and am debating accepting an offer for a geriatric primary care clinic. It is a good opportunity, however I am really struggling with the fact that I am losing autonomy. I have always had my own patient panel, but in this new position I would be seeing any patient in the clinic for acute visits and follow ups, and the physicians take the lead in managing their chronic conditions and overall POC. Does this bother anyone else? What are your thoughts on working under a physician? I'm not sure why this is bothering me so much!! Thanks in advance :)

So I'm currently an RN, applying to grad school, and before I go back to having absolutely no life, I would like to travel! I'm only thinking of going somewhere for about two weeks, and I've looked into programs on several websites. I thought it would be fun too volunteer in Belize (I don't want to go TOO far away), but there's a ton of programs out there that are almost $2,000 just to volunteer! Plus, I'm not sure which ones are reliable and which ones aren't. I stumbled on one called Hillside, and I'm not sure if anyone has heard of that one? If anyone has any great experiences please let me know! I'm kind of lost. I also though Costa Rica would be interesting. I want to go somewhere safe also, since I will be traveling by myself.
