   Colleagues,



  Forgive the cross posting, but I wanted to get this out to as many of 
you as possible.



  If there was a blog or a website that was geared toward NPs in 
Business (any kind of NP business/practice), and another one geared to 
health care consumers about NP Practice, would you be willing to 
participate?



  The first one would be geared toward NP business owners and those who 
wish to start a business (different types of practice and business). I 
envision it being our own experiences, a place to ask questions and get 
answers. A resource for those starting out and those of us already 
there. It would require input from other NP’s as I can not possibly do 
it myself. Would you be willing to write an article, post to the blog, 
make comments, answer questions, talk about your practice, and/or ????



  The second one would be geared toward health care consumers and the 
public in general. What NP’s can do (ie scope of practice), advantages 
of having an NP as your primary care provider, etc. Education is sorely 
needed (just yesterday, I had to explain to a rep for an A1c device, 
that I was “the doctor” and not “the nurse” and I could indeed order 
and perform the test!). Again, I ask if you would be willing to 
participate. You would be able to talk about resources in your neck of 
the woods, your own practice, the types of practices, etc. (I also hope 
to get some “real” patients to give their input on the difference in 
health care they receive from NP’s).



 I look forward to hear your comments, thoughts, and suggestion.





 Barbara C. Phillips, NP

 Aberdeen Primary Care
