Well now .... I couldn't view the medscape article without joining so I'm none the wiser. But what I want to know is: did she get around to examining the lump on your head?

Seriously, I think some nurses are very good, depends on their experience and their specific role. Very often the communication skills are that bit better than those of doctors who may, arguably, be more pushed for time.

Hello Hidden,

What is a tourer? Is that a British term?

I'll just sign myself as

Ignorant

Yes, NP's can be great!
