The nurse practitioner in industry.
To summarize my feelings of my original goals and how I presently feel about an Industrial Nurse Practitioner: What it has made me is a better nurse, definitely more valuable to my employer, and I am serving my patient/employees at a more skilled level. I have much greater job satisfaction in my expanded role. Progress is slow and painful, and in representing the new expanded role of nursing, I am still involved in the routine everyday problems. Success is not always realized at the time it is most needed or wanted and there have been days when the load seemed almost too heavy to bear; however, I have experienced some of the triumphs of when a goal is realized, and it is knowledge of this that makes it all worthwhile.
