How are male Nurse Practitioners treated/viewed in the medical work community?
Q. I'm considering becoming a NP. Im a male however, and am afraid about the image that may project about myself. I know I may seem a little silly, but I really need to know if male NP are looked down upon or made fun of my other female NP's. Such as in college. Do doctors look down upon you? This question has heavy stereotyping and I would like to give others the benefit of the doubt, but that's why I'm asking.

A. I know a bunch of male nurses, including one is is going to become an NP. No one looks down at them and if they do, then they wouldn't want to be friends with the person anyway.

Why do alternative medicine practitioners always seem more caring and considerate?
Q. than conventional medicine practitioners? I've never met an angry, egotistical condescending naturopath, herbalist, acupuncturist, chiropractor, nutritionist, homeopath, reiki practitioner etc. Why is that?

A. I agree with life is sweet. many of them were sick themselves and given little or no hope and through luck or hard work or God's Providence healed themselves and then went on to help others in their same shoes. Also I suspect a certain personality type is drawn to both fields. Perhaps medicine draws the driven those with parents with high ambitions for their child and into money and prestige. I know my son being highly gifted was always told by his teachers that he should be a doctor..just cause he was smart they were all pushing him there, but I always discouraged him due to the unbalanced life many of them live working so many hours which in itself makes people more tired and grouchy. I wanted him to have a job that gave him more… [cont.]

How much do VA hospitals pay Nurse Practitioners?
Q. If you could provide a wage range, that would be awesome. If the info is specific to Illinois, that's even better.
