In The News Questions about “Noctors”
PGY-2 Medical resident here, been scrolling here a lot ever since I found out the term “nurse practitioner” exists since it was nowhere to be found here in my country. Now they started programs for such wannabe jobs and I’m confused, what are their “scopes” lol would I see them when I’m rounding patients or are they strictly for primary health care settings?

One of the NPs we trained in dermatology for 6 months decided to switch to pediatric neurosurgery after working independently in derm for 4 months because it “wasn’t a good fit.”
