  1. NPs working with chiropractors

    Julia77 replied to mystcnurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  3. Should I go for nursing or physician assistant

    Julia77 replied to andreead's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  4. Should I go for nursing or physician assistant

  7. Just Take Your @#*! Break!!!

    Julia77 replied to Anna Flaxis's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    We are scheduled for breaks, and I know if I am on first, that seconds and thirds are waiting for me to come back. One thing I find tough is in a 7a-7p shift, going at 830, then 1130 and missing last...

    Julia77 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  9. Interview help

    Julia77 replied to mas21's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Julia77 replied to jilljw's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  12. Are online ANP degrees destroying our credibility?

    Julia77 replied to jilljw's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    This is a bit off topic. Just want to acknowledge that I've read lots of points of view here and am not asking for a recap. If YOU were or are a student NP with a DE program, what would you/do you say...

  15. Littman II vs Ultrascope OR other favourite stethoscope?

    Julia77 replied to Julia77's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Julia77 replied to massrn116's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I certainly respect the OP's situation and story and I wish that the healthcare industry could be a kinder one, too. We can CT individuals left, right and center, but there is more to healthcare than...
