Sometimes life comes full circle. 10 years ago today I was at Duke Health as a neuro ICU nurse at the beginning of my career, and today Iโ€™m in the neuro ICU as a medical student. This was never the path I imagined: itโ€™s better. So grateful for the decade of experience in nursing

Every time I see s**t like this post from "Nurse Practitioner Newbies", I'm going to magnify the absurd statement that Sophia Thomas, the former president of the AANP said about NPs upon graduation.

5)what the majority of NPs working in the ED are? FNPs. Where the f**k did all of our ER PAs go? I never had a problem working in the ED with ER RNs and PAs. The quality went downhill the moment they started replacing docs and PAs with NPs. Yeah, I said it. I now know why the

CA patients ought to be aware of these changes also. You should know the skill and education level of every medical professional. You should be able to choose who cares for you.

There is no territorial fight between those with different credentials. The gold standard for the safe practice of medicine is a physician with an initial board certification. Nursing โ‰  medicine. Patients deserve transparency about credentials.

Cheesed Hammer PhysiciansForPatients I'm all for patients having a choice, but that choice should be freely made after being informed of options. But, in many instances, patients don't get a choice and are being told they're getting the same quality of care. Hospitalized patients don't get to select their medical

@UrBetsyJean PhysiciansForPatients I'm talking about NPs who don't work with a physician. Since the ACA passed, diploma mills have churned them out with very little experience as nurses, and states are allowing them to practice without a physician's oversight. The quality NPs, like yours, have years of nursing

@patience_not Nikki M. Johnson, MD, DNBPAS โš• PhysiciansForPatients You double book for 2 reasons: 1) in case patients are no-shows or 2) doc isn't getting reimbursed enough for services rendered.
