  1. Explaining the NP role to pts and everybody else

    I see this posted time and time again... And I will say it again. It isn't true anymore. The large number of direct entry NP programs have made this blanket statement not truthful. It is true for a substantial number of NPs. But most definitely n...
  2. Explaining the NP role to pts and everybody else

    This simply isn't true anymore. It used to be, but with the proliferation of many direct entry programs, it is no longer the case.
  3. Most Rigorous NP Programs (worried about NP Curriculum)!

    How do PAs not get more or better education? Not trying to be antagonistic, but I disagree and would like to understand your viewpoint.
  4. Most Rigorous NP Programs (worried about NP Curriculum)!

    Yeah this is too bad in my opinion, because the NP profession really had a chance to fix some of the problems with current NP programs such as limited clinical hours.
  5. Most Rigorous NP Programs (worried about NP Curriculum)!

    All things being equal, I do believe PA school has a much more rigorous training based in more hard sciences and many more clinical hours. This is virtually undebatable. All NP preceptors I have rotated with have unequivocally agreed. That being s...
  6. MD versus NP as a primary care provider

    One more comment about the title NPP vs APC. Non-physician providers defines us what we aren't. Advanced Practice Clinician defines us by what we are. I dunno. To me, it seems the latter is the better term. treejay PA Student

  9. Make more $$ and Work Less.

    Does Kaiser use PAs in the ED? Also, what hospitals in the bay area use PAs in the ED? PA student considering a path in EM somewhere on the west coast..

  11. Holistic Nursing NP vs FNP family nurse practioner

    and when I say most often causes flushing, i have read that most patients who take niacin at therapeutic doses for HLD, get flushing side effects. it's not widely tolerated.
  12. Holistic Nursing NP vs FNP family nurse practioner

    niacin most often causes flushing at therapeutic doses for hyperlipidemia. the vitamin dose it drastically smaller than that used for cholesterol/triglycerides. as far as overmedicating society, definitely. and in no small thanks to the incessant ...

    wrong. why not simply type a few words into google for your quick answer?
  14. Interesting Physician Perspective On NPs

    I don't know if I agree that it's a real shame. How it's setup by the accrediting agency, PA programs are competency based, not degree based. Graduates of any PA program, associates or master's need to meet the same competencies, and those competen...
