Nurse Practitioner
A midlevel provider who went to school for 6-7 years. Many have an MSN but the DNP degree has been introduced to try to blur the lines with Physicians who instead train for a minimum of 11 years. NPs use this obscurity in an attempt to validate their claims for unsupervised practice. Additionally, many graduate nursing programs are degree mills boasting 100% acceptance rates and 100% online coursework. NPs serve an important place in healthcare but are best paired with a supervising Physician.
Nurse Practitioner: "I wanted to be a doctor but the MCAT wasn't open-book, so I went to the University of Phoenix MSN program with online exams".

Back when I lived in upstate new york
A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

TLDU
Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
Me: Woah! TLDU!
