Shadowing a Nurse Practitioner?

[rexxx]

I'm shadowing a nurse practitioner because.. well, I asked at my doctors office if I could shadow a doctor and they paired me with her.

Several times so far she's seen a patient and the doctor has been there too, but not always. In these cases I'm only with her, and the doctor isn't there.

I think I've read that you usually list the doctor's name and number of hours on your app.
How will I list this?

Can I just write the doctor's name and the total hours I spend there, since she's technically under him, or will that be wrong since he isn't always there, and sometimes Im only with the nurse practitioner?

I can totally picture this happening. Sorry man.

Doesn't sound like you're shadowing a physician to me, unfortunately. You're better off finding another office or facility that will pair you with an MD/DO.
