During National Nurse Practitioner Week, which took place November 12–18, 2017, we surveyed nurse practitioners regarding the next big challenge their profession would have to face. The responses blew us away, so we brought in some of our recruiters and account managers to help us share them with you.
Watch some of the top answers regarding NPs and the future, as told by Barton Associates team members:
Here is the complete transcript:
