If you're a nurse weighing the decision to go back to school, you're probably asking yourself one central question: is the time, money and effort actually worth it? For most nurses who take the leap, the answer is a resounding yes. Becoming a nurse practitioner (NP) opens the door to higher pay, greater autonomy and a better work-life balance than bedside nursing typically allows. But the right answer depends on your goals, and it's worth taking a close look at what the role really offers.
What’s trending now: From Reiki in hospitals to herbal teas for blood pressure, alternative therapies are moving into mainstream wellness spaces. Evidence gaps remain: Some remedies, like Rhus tox or vitamin E supplements, have limited or no proven benefits, and more research is needed to confirm their effectiveness.

Type D personality, defined by the co-occurrence of negative affectivity and social inhibition, has been associated with poorer health outcomes in chronic diseases, including asthma. However, the psychological mechanisms underlying the relationship between Type D personality and asthma control remain unclear. This cross-sectional study included 150 adult patients with asthma recruited from a tertiary outpatient clinic. Participants completed the Asthma Control Test (ACT), Type D Personality Scale (DS-14), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Type D personality traits were identified in 39.3% of the sample. Compared with non–Type D individuals, patients with Type D personality had higher depressive and anxiety symptom scores and poorer sleep quality (all p < 0.05). Mediation analyses using bootstrapping (5,000 resamples) revealed significant indirect effects of Type D personality on asthma control through depression (β = -0.088, 95% CI [-0.132, -0.047]), anxiety (β = -0.115, 95% CI [-0.158, -0.078]), and sleep quality (β = -0.057, 95% CI [-0.091, -0.029]). These indirect effects remained statistically significant after adjustment for age, sex, smoking status, and FEV1 (% predicted). These findings suggest that Type D personality is indirectly associated with poorer asthma control through increased psychological symptom burden and impaired sleep quality.
