I don't want any of this to be true. I hate hearing this message. I want claim that at worst - *I* don't fit this NP mold; *I* don't have these problems.
But it's true. Every damn word, as I've learned through hard personal experience and, later, through painful but honest self-reflection.
I blame you, messenger!!! Not really, of course :-)
Though the article is written to the employer's perspective, it's equally applicable to the NP worker themselves. As you say, an NP can make a superb and successful career out of working from home, but any NP contemplating it should confront each of the risks you so articulately described and proactively develop processes/habits/systems to mitigate them AND commit to a process of reviewing the effectiveness of those systems regularly.
