...that you valued your nurse practitioner.

Too many people still think APNs are something "new," and are afraid to trust us. Pediatric nurse practitioners first appeared on the scene in 1965, so almost 60 years ago.

Nurses have been administering anesthesia since the Civil War.

I hope you can find a successor you are comfortable with.
