MSK9's Medical School Thread & Guide

You’ve given exactly the impression I got when I spent about half a year in the hospital with my critically ill child. It’s definitely not an easy job. I do seem to get the impression that a nurse practitioners role proves to be significantly different, and definitively appealing. For what it’s worth, I prefer the role doctors fill, but despise their bedside manner. Nurse practitioners win that one hands down. Since my interest is psych, I am hopeful pmhnp will bridge the gap for me between the two worlds and give me a satisfying role helping people with mental illness, drug addicts, criminals, etc. I would love to work in a state prison again in the psych ward, I deeply enjoyed being a correctional officer and working with that particular inmate population.
