Nurse Practitioners can prescribe meds, they are similar(equal?) to a physicians assistant. They are at least one step above an RN.

I can request a different doctor at any time but my last two pdocs have been males, I am going to see if having a female pdoc will provide a different approach. Although, by the time I see her I will likely be completely off meds and might just request a T going forward. She won't be doing any therapy, at least my previous pdocs have never done it.
