Family nurse practitioner Puns

A family friend, "Mary," died late last week from COVID-19 complications and I'm just angry and sad for her oldest daughter "Alyssa." Mary, 55 & diabetic, refused to get the COVID-19 vaccination despite Alyssa--a pregnant nurse practitioner-- begging her to get it. They kept their conflict off social media so I didn't know the specifics of why she refused. My aunt told my mom the general overview.

Mary & Alyssa were very close regardless. Her mom caught COVID-19 and when Alyssa didn't hear from her late last week, she went to check in on Mary. Her mother went into a diabetic coma brought on COVID-19 complications and had died.

I'm not even mourning Mary right now but I'm mourning for Alyssa and how her life (and future baby's) have been irreparably changed because her mother wouldn't listen to science. I'm angry because I always considered Mary to be a selfless, kind soul and yet her decision was selfish.

I didn't want her to win a Herman Cain Award. I wanted her to be vaccinated and to not make her daughter experience this trauma. I don't know how Alyssa will be able to move on someday.

So I’m curious if this is a farfetched idea or if anyone has experience with a nurse practitioner who specializes in two areas. My ultimate goal is to become a psychiatric NP, but I have a lot of interest in family health too and think they go hand in hand a lot of the time. Furthermore I want to work rurally and/or with incarcerated populations. A lot of the programs in my area offer doctorate programs to become an NP and they’re about 3-4 years long. I’m just wondering if anyone has experience with a hybrid program that marries two specialities together or if I just need to do two separate NP degrees to accomplish this?? Any info is greatly appreciated!! Thanks!

Hello, looking for something for my girlfriend who shares the same birthday as me.
Looking to keep it under $150.00

Last year I gifted a bag with several practical and wholesome gifts such as a specialized water/coffee container with her name lasered on it, some gift cards, favorite candies, metallic bracelet, romantical words..

This year I am considering doing a spa/massage package at our local place.. she has been complaining of neck and upper back pain and begging me to rub her shoulders but I am quite terrible at it.. I can never find the knots she complains of. Would that be a good gift? Anything small or extra I can give in addition?

Anything a new family nurse may require to help perform the job duties more efficiently or make the job more enjoyable?

I can’t believe I’m posting to Reddit for help with this, but here goes. I am a Family Nurse Practitioner student at NKU and am struggling to find preceptors for clinical rotations. I am in my second rotation now and have 3 to go, none of which I have preceptors for. I have done everything I can think of except for cold call offices, which is something I have not seen other students have success with. I need family practice, pediatrics, and women’s health rotations. The next rotation starts in March, then May, then July. If there happen to be any nurse practitioners here that are willing/able to take students, I would be greatly appreciative. I live in Lexington but am willing to drive if I need to. Thanks to anyone who has taken the time to read this! Fingers crossed Reddit can works its magic.

r/residency, r/medicalschool, r/premed and all the other subs under the meddit umbrella, as well as SDN (student doctor network) think that nurse practitioners are invariably incompetent dimbats who kill patients and take doctors' jobs. There's even an entire sub devoted to bashing on NPs (and, to a lesser extent, PAs) - r/Noctor. Meanwhile, the smoothbrains at allnurses think that nurse practitioners are better than doctors at being doctors because they have more empathy or some bullshit, and there's pretty widespread rhetoric among NP schools that the 'nursing model' is superior to the 'medical model'. r/nurses tends to see both sides, and r/nursepractitioner isn't active enough to judge.

As a homosexual, I'm deeply enjoying the drama. What are your thoughts?
