Two years ago my long time RN graduated from her Masters as a NP, and I had to decide on letting my PA go or try to keep both busy.
I can only say that you appreciate every patient when you are trying to keep two mid-levels busy as a rheumatologist in this economy. At least I can say I'm ready for ObamaCare.
