How Can I Politely Tell the NP (nurse Practioner) That I Would Prefer to See the Doctor?

Just request to see a doctor with the front desk when you make your appointment. Unless theres an extreme scheduling issue, they should be able to accommodate you.However, you should seriously consider seeing the NP.

My mom owns a practice, and shes incredibly busy. Because she always has so many patients booked, she can sometimes end up a little bit rushed if one or more of her patients are late. This means she cant spend as much time with her patients as they might need.

Her NP is a lovely, knowledgeable woman who would be more than happy to take that time that you might have otherwise not gotten by requesting my mother.Tl:dr, you can just ask to see the doctor instead, but you may want to consider not doing so

The receptionist at the doctoru2019s office where I work as an RN refers to the medical assistants as u2018nursesu2019. I am the only nurse in the office, the rest are MAs.

The receptionist said u2018nurseu2019 is a generic term. How do I politely correct her on this?

Well, the receptionist is wrong, and should do her homework on the proper protocol for addressing co-workers.

Nurses are RNs with a degree, possibly a Bachelors, maybe beyond. Mas have lesser education and training, they are not to be addressed as nurses, which they are not. Nurse is not a generic term; there is a distinction to be addressed.

How would the receptionist like to be called, for instance. the person who answers the phone? I feel that not addressing each person forwhat and who they are is insulting.

At one time in my career at a Physicians office, his wife referred to me as a secretary. I was not, and never wanted to be a secretary.I answered the phone, made appointments and the like, plus billed insurance anddid full-charge bookkeeping.

She was somewhat jealous of me, and did this simply toinsult me and denigrate my position and responsibilities

Can someone be truly Dutch without a Dutch last name?

German names, French names even more, abound among the truly Dutch.There were times when the country now called Germany, was very poor, and the Netherlands rich by comparison.

Schultz, Brockhoff, Schuman, Schmidt.More impressive: French names dating from Huguenot suppression. Lodeizen, Uriot, Batteljee (from Battelier), Parmentier, de Bij or de Bie (from de Bie), Couzy, Poesiat, Kastelein (from Chtelain), Pikardier, Viruly, Retief, Ferrier, de la Mar, Dupont, Derooy, Lefebre, Carpentier, Dubois, Batist, Lavalije.

The historic enrichment by fugitives from Flanders after 1680 makes it complicated. They soon started spelling their names the northerly" way. De Kooninck became de Koning etc.

But then we have van Baal, van Lookeren, Oudenaarde, van Gent, van Lier, van Dendermonde, van Tienen.Now the far South. The names da Costa and de Genestet (Portugal, Spain) were great names in Dutch literature.

Pottegies means Pottegies. Toledo was a famed tailor in Amsterdam.One Austrian, Pfister.

Some Scots, Robertson, Laraby, Wambersie, Abercrombie, Clardy. One Irish: Ockeloen (from O'Kellon).

Is calling racist people 'racist', racist?

I guess if you think someone is innately racist because of their race and that renders them inferior as a people because they cant function without being racist.Like thinking White people are racist because theyre White people, not because of their actions, and thinking that makes them an inferior race because of that.I mean racism is the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race and youre prejudiced, discriminate, or antagonize them based on the belief that your own race is superior.

I think its a possibility but I dont think this happens much. Racism is a belief, you have to find the intent and most people think White people are racist because of their actions not because its some innate trait

What are the differences between Java and Ruby on Rails?

It's probably not very proper to compare a programming language with a MVC framework.

Java vs RubyJava is a compiled static typing programming language claim to be object oriented but really is class oriented, runs on a ridiculously fast VM tho.Ruby on the other hand, is an interpreted true OO language, with capability of carrying out most vicious black magics by far, but runs on the world slowest VM ever created. Given the fundamental difference between these two languages, we can compareJava frameworks (Spring/Struts/Hibernate) vs Ruby on RailsDeveloping web app with java involves a lot of interface hacking techniques, referred by some people as design patterns, which is totally awesome in escalating your small project into "enterprise level" project.

Web apps in Rails, however, can be prototyped so fast with all kinds of black magics, per request of your VC. The only problem is that you might want to rewrite your stuff in Java after series B, like what twitter did.

How should I address an email to multiple people?

If they are people of both genders, you can start Dear Ladies & Gentlemen.If its only females, Dear Ladies,If its only males, Dear Gentlemen,If you are addressing a specific group of people, such as a committee of both sexes, then Dear Committee Members, should suffice.If you are writing to a motley group of friends in an informal way, then Dear Friends should be acceptable.

If its a limited number of people, say 2 or 3, you can start with the lady or ladies first.For example, Dear Madam (or Mrs.) Lillian Tang, Mr.

Adam Smith and Mr. John Rodrigues,If its official, then you might start with the more senior person and end up with the least senior person.If its multiple people, more that 3, then you could list their name in the To section of your email in descending order of seniority.

Your opening salutation could read :Dear Madam/Dear Sir

Why can't computers understand simple English language?

Because computers were originally designed for crunching numbers, and at the lowest level, that's still all that they do: add, subtract, multiply, divide, copy data and compare it. They represent everything as numbers: letters, colors, sounds, button presseseverything is reduced to a number.

So any process that can be performed by mathematical means, a computer can do fast and well. The trouble is that language isn't among those. It takes place in a different part of the brain from mathematical reasoning.

We haven't found a good way to convert the complexities and nuances of language into numbers. Nor have we created any hardware that emulates what the linguistic part of the brain does. We don't understand it ourselves, so we don't know how to simulate it in machinery.

Computers can't sing the blues either, and for much the same reason. They never get the blues. They're not designed to.

What is the output of this program? #include void main() for (I1;I

This code wont compile.But assuming I is in fact i and, i is declared, then the output would be: 6Fixed code from assumptions:#include void main() int i; for (i1;i

First, you should always return a program exit value; its good practice. Also, I would argue that a while loop would be more efficient for this particular case.Refactored code:#include

h>// main prints the value of i.// comments are important, try to explain what you're doing.// compile with: cc -Wall -o blah blah.

cint main() int i 0; // must initialize i before while loop while (i

h.I hope this helps.

What professions does the future world require most?

Let's have a look at our world from above, most of the blue collar jobs are switching with machines, they will also get most of the standard workforce shortly, so let's eliminate those options. :)Doctors, Lawyers, Pilots will even gonna disappear ( well not all of them but you got the point ) so most of the high-end jobs gonna be mechanized. As you can see we still need conductors to rule the machines ( yes I know deep learning is a thing, and it can teach itself, but my point is different )Also, we have space :) there are tons of places that we have not discovered yet so before we do consider about possibilities on that field.

And for the tipping point, I can tell you that any possible jobs related to transhumanism are the key, people are looking for immortality and doing so we need talented and genius human beings :)Hope this helps, there are tons to write, but these are the best ones to offer I guess

I'm a teenager and I'm suddenly realising that my family members are very racist and ignorant. They are very set in their ways, how do I cope with it?

You should concentrate on surrounding yourself with people who don't hold the same beliefs your relatives do.

But I think you should realize that your family are not evil even if their ways of thinking and modes of being may be evil.I would focus on their strengths and compliment them on that. I know that won't be easy.

But it's worth trying. If you directly tell your family members, in private, that their viewpoints are irrational, they may take it the wrong way. Your best bet is to definitely educate yourself and spend time with others from different ethnic backgrounds.

That way you have actual experiences in dealing with people of different ethnic groups to stifle the claims that your relatives may have of those particular people being "less than. " And do your best not to spread the message that was spread to you

How can someone walk back in time, even hypothetically?

This question reminds me about a very interesting idea I have had when I was 14 or so.

If there are scientists reading this. Please do not! It is highly inaccurate, because I was a kid when I imagined this.

First of all, you have to gain control over some properties of the elementary particles (such as electrons, protons, etc. ). Then, you must find a way to attach tachyonic attributes to them, which wouldn't be that hard, regarding the research at CERN.

Next, become able to control the moments when those particles will behave as tachyons, connect the particles with a very expensive system via quantum properties and that's it.You have your person sent in the future.How about the past?

Actually, we have no proof that the eccentric properties the tachyons have couldn't allow them to travel back in time, as well. And again, I am sorry for my highly impossible physics. I was 14

How do you say "Nice to meet you" in Dutch?

The original question was: How do I say u201cIt was nice to meet you" in Dutch?Judging from the past tense in the question, you are leaving. The correct words to use would be:Het was prettig om je te ontmoeten.

(Mostly used if you meet someone for the first time but you can use it on other times also if you don't see each other often. )Het was leuk om kennis met je gemaakt te hebben. ( If it was the first time because u201ckennismakenu201d you only do once because afterwards you know each other.

)Het was fijn (or prettig) om je weer eens gesproken te hebben. Het is fijn dat we weer even bijgepraat hebben.The last two translate more or less that you appreciated having spoken to them again or appreciated the chance of catching up with them.

I hope this is helpful.How do you say "It was nice to meet you" in Dutch?.
