   TradHunterRN replied to 4263people's topic in Men in Nursing

   I know this is why, but that doesn't make it right. Nurses make up the bulk of a healthcare workforce. Angry underappreciated/overworked nurses make for poor patient care = low patient satisfaction =...

    TradHunterRN replied to matthewandrew's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Whether you want the perception to change or not it doesn't change the fact that the lifestyles are very different. I am not saying NPs do not work hard, I am simply saying that in my field, the...
