Dr. Fife,
Your articles on skin subs are so helpful. An old coworker of mine called to ask me about the wound care Nurse Practitioner jobs she had seen advertised about applying skin subs. The company did a video interview with her, telling her how much money she could make, and she said she thought to herself, “Hmmm….something’s wrong about this.” She asked me for advice. I sent a link to your blog and the recent article by Mr. Traskey explaining how nurse practitioners become caught up in schemes and the risk she would be taking. It was scary how they were talking to her about this “opportunity.” I hope that others will read the article and be warned off. I know it helped my friend. Thank you!

What is the difference between a “scheme” and a business where an NP is applying skin sub? Seems to me there is a ton of context left out of this post?
This is so important. Thank you for sharing!
