4. I've found that, except for the one I saw, earlier, NPs are easier to relate to, for me.

The previous one was an APN (Advanced Nurse Practitioner) and she was absolutely callous. I think she just took an instant dislike to me. It's in my file that I have extreme anxiety and she seemed to take that as a challenge to ramp it up, even more. Thankfully I only saw her twice.

The moment this one walked in to the exam room, I just had a good feeling about him. He is kind, compassionate, he listens and he has a great sense of humor.

SIwsan is correct - NP designates a nurse practitioner. 3catwoman3 Nov 2024 #7

I was shocked at one particular APN's treatment towards me Siwsan Nov 2024 #12

I'm glad your first experience with a nurse practitioner was positive. 3catwoman3 Nov 2024 #15

My best friend is a cat lover and hasn't had a kitty for years. She just got a kitten. Walleye Nov 2024 #6

Merlin can be quite an energetic little boy, leaving chaos in his wake Siwsan Nov 2024 #13

A lot of work. But still, I envy you having that kitten. Walleye Nov 2024 #14

That is wonderful. My FNP is a cat mom herself, yet another thing I like about her. niyad Nov 2024 #17
