Current Events > I don't get how Nurse Practitioners can practice independently

(+) Yeah! (+)

They literally take a few basic bio-science courses and most of their training is in social work.

I understand PA's, they go through med school which is almost as rigorous as MD's but they have less years of clinical practice before they are licensed. But I can hold high level conversations with PA's. With NP's I can't.

I work with both on a daily basis.
