Clinical Resources

While this site is definitely about NP’s having their own business, and while not all of us have a clinically related business, many of us do. We are busy and cannot always find what we need as far as clinical resources.

For example, you may be looking for a particular patient handout, or need a site to look a differential for the person who is present with “zebra” like signs and symptoms.

If you have a clinical resource you’d like to share, send it in…we’ll add it to this page, as well as compile a list that can be downloaded for you to store on your computer.

Another site with information I am not always comfortable with and this site goes on and on with location, motion, etc. and I believe can become quite useful if we bookmark it right and use as needed with our patients. ~Nina Ravey, NP
