  3. First Job, Unsure of Role

  8. Tearing my hair out over noncompliant DM2 patients!

    My goodness, I'm sure glad you aren't my provider! You've completely disregarded this women's experience. With an attitude like that, good luck motivating any meaningful change in
  9. Working in a small practice, and the employees are rude.

    ...not without a fight! You're doing well at this practice and appear to be learning a lot! Those things don't always come easy, and who is to say you won't come across this same situation at a...

  12. Tearing my hair out over noncompliant DM2 patients!

  16. Sacramento Nurse Practitioner working conditions

    Bump!
  17. Seeking Advice: Direct Entry Blues

    Exactly! I disagree with those who are stating that one should have RN experience in order to be a good NP. The issue here is lack of on-the-job orientation/training, not RN experience. Specifically,...

  20. Tell me the downsides.

    THIS right here is EVERYTHING!! Thank you so much for sharing such a detailed aspect of your experience. I am truly enjoying reading all of these experiences. It's a bit humorous if I'm to be honest,...
