Nurse Practitioner 2
Nurse practitioners can see one another as competition towards one another.
One might feel like theyre smarter than the other and are capable of
providing better care
They can also be seen as each others best friends due to helping one another if
they are ever concerned of something that needs to be solved.

Functionalist Theory
Everything is balanced and equal so everything could work out fine
People are sick and Nurse Practitioners are able to play a big role so people
dont die from the Illness or lack of medical attention.
If NP or any other medical professionals didnt exist wed have people constantly
dying.
This would lead to other important people in our community that we depend on
become very limited such as police officers, doctors, and family members.
The more patients nurse practitioners can cure themselves them more help
physicians can offer to more severe patient cases.
Conflict Theory
Inconsistency and problematic are made to trigger some changes in society.
Some patients dont trust Nurse Practitioners because they feel like they arent
experienced enough like Physicians.
The more patients a doctor has to provide medical attention to, the more time
critical patients have to wait until being seen. Longer waiting time can mean
that some patients can possibly end up dying for lack of immediate attention.
