Thank you all for your comments. I am especially proud to have Jules comment. Let me clarify, I am in no way saying that I am capable or able to practice. I see so many threads of people saying how unprepared and incapable many NP's they come across are. My school is decent but I do find it lacking in the necessary skills needed. I am looking for good habits now so that someday I can be a better practitioner. I want to do primary care in the future. Please, nobody take this as prideful.....I am more concerned for my future patients.

I am an NP student who is doing fairly well in my program. I feel this program is challenging and is doing a sufficient job training me for a provider role. The only thing is I can't imagine being able to start a job as a provider when my schooling is over. I know a lot of people feel this way so can anyone give me some tips on how not to be one of "those" nurse practitioners. The ones the doctors complain about. What can I do now to help me become a better provider? All help is appreciated!

Hey guys, I am a future nurse practitioner (in school now) and I was looking for a good assessment book to help me. I plan on working at a nearby clinic in Texas and wanted to start learning now. I am hoping for something that is detailed, has pictures/illustrations and provides a rationale for why things are done. Any advice?
