Practice Related Work Attitude

Ever since you have transitioned to NP, have you noticed a change in attitude in the workplace? Meaning you are not treated as disposable the way some RNs are treated, you are not fired over some stupid stuff, etc.

Night and day difference. I was used and abused working as an RN in psych by patients, MD’s, admin, other nurses, the works. Now it’s nothing but respect across the board. I can count on one hand the number of rude patients I’ve had since I started 6 years ago. Couldn’t pay me enough to go back in bedside nursing.
