  4. NP practice in MEXICO?

    brownrice replied to brownrice's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  10. Rural Health

    brownrice replied to cgfnp's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  11. Rural Health

    brownrice replied to cgfnp's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    brownrice replied to Pinoy2.0's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thank you for your reply. I am happy to know that someone else has taken notice of this besides Dr. Weil. We are afterall, "healthcare" providers, but perhaps a better fitting description in many...

  18. NP w/no desire for RN?

    brownrice replied to Pinoy2.0's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    brownrice replied to brownrice's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hey Papadoc....enjoyed the link you provided. After scanning it, I did think about this: comparing job satisfaction of MDs vs. NPs is quite different. I can't remember where to find the various...
