Interview with Jenny Carryer, a professor of Nursing at Massey University. I ask her all my dumb questions so you don't have to! Despite working with nurses being a massive part of our jobs as doctors, in medical school we never sit down to think about how best to do that. By understanding our colleagues better, maybe we can improve the interprofessional relationship, from which patients will ultimately benefit. Topics: Nursing education and career paths; The 3 paths of nursing leadership - clinical CNS/NP, service delivery CN, education; Unique aspects of nursing in NZ; The future of NPs and GPs; "Doctors versus nurses" causes and solutions of interprofessional tension
