   bajasauce07 replied to arelle68's topic in General Nursing

   Well, Golden Girl. I agree with everything you said, You'll have to read the previous posts and take in context my above sentence. It often asserted that patient "happiness" is a measure of practitioner quality. They aren't related. At all. They shou...

   quite agreed. How are PA and NP schools different?

4. advice about PA or NP?

   Wait, so PA school is far more intense, but the training is less?

5. Nurse Practitioner or Physician's Assistant?

   bajasauce07 replied to arelle68's topic in General Nursing

   Really? All the nursing associations are gathering the data? And it's all awesome? I had no idea! Studies on noninferiority when dealing with proteinuria are excellent. But lets have a study on how many of these protenuria patients were actually pati...

8. Physician assistant versus Nurse practitioner

   bajasauce07 replied to xng's topic in Career Support

   Look, sorry that my posts seem so inflammatory, I apologize for that. If you'll read the post previous to the one where I talk about nursing education it is in reply to the idea that NP's are "better" than PA's because of the nursing education they r...

   bajasauce07 replied to arelle68's topic in General Nursing

   Medicine has EVERYTHING to do with how knowledgeable you are and NOTHING to do with how nice you are. It's just good to be nice as well. As far as the comment above about NP vs PA? You can come out of training as either an NP, PA, or MD and be a moro...

    bajasauce07 replied to xng's topic in Career Support

    Oh, and I don't think there are ANY NP's in "solo" practice anywhere. Hospital bylaws do not allow it.

    bajasauce07 replied to xng's topic in Career Support

    Problem is nursing has nothing to do with medicine. At least not in the sense of treating and diagnosing, which is what you are supposed to be doing as an NP or PA. Also, PA's are taught treatment, I'm not sure how you separate diagnosis/rx from trea...

    bajasauce07 replied to RN to Medschool's topic in NP

    MBREAZ I call strawman on my post, The provider in my example was not lying, I said his actions were not malicious, perhaps he did not know, or he forgot for that patient to start appropriate therapy, Either way, you prove my point you admitted that ...

    MBREAZ, you still haven't offered a rebuttal to this post of mine, I would really like to hear your thoughts: not true. definitely not true. I don't get how you believe that. If you are nice to a diabetic patient who has protenuria on his dipstick, a...
