I'm not buying it. Looking at the full body of your postings on this site, it makes far more sense that you believed every word of the original posting and now your trying to cover your orifice. In any case, we don't need you to tell us how to deal with the AMA, the internal dispute you refer to came from you, not us.

NPs are continuing to make gains state by state. This is because the data is on our side, study after study reports we are able to do the job and are more economical. Organizations like the FTC (link posted earlier), the IOM, RWJF, and many more are putting out papers as unbiased third parties that show the validity of our argument and are helping dispute the arguments against us having full practice rights. These are the important points that need to be discussed and championed on this site, not postings that do no more than make degrading comments about nursing and nurse practitioners irregardless of the supposed intent.

To me the post was useless hot air. Who it was for is still confusing to me. Comparing apples to oranges as PP said is correct. We are of a different species and I for one never hoped to be an MD.

Actually, the idea stemmed from a project we did in class, I think it was nursing policy. Our group put together an argument for NP rights and we were to debate each other. I do sincerely apologize and will be more careful of the way the word my posts. I most def was not attempting to cover my butt on an online forum lol, I mean there is no retribution to anything I put on a forum besides worst case scenario a ban from the account.

I do hope we make gains, but as I think many of us agreed on in previous posts is the need for more closely regulated programs. Hopefully our licensing agencies will understand this sooner or later or the original post may become closer to reality.

Honestly, I find it most likely that this guy created an account and started trolling with inflammatory posts in order to drive traffic to his crummy "chillnurse" site. Do we really need astroturfing on AllNurses?

exactly! you must be amazing smart to figure that out!!!! actually I had an old account I used to browse on when i was in school but i lost the info lol. But i feel very warmhearted that you took the time to browse my profile :)

Interesting. Even I don't agree with the OPs post and you guys all know how I talk about the profession ;)

I do agree that the curriculums need beefing up and the for profit online programs need shut down...other than that it was kind of an offensive read.

we need to raise the profession standards to meet our standards, the standards of the NPs before us...not some invisible bar set by physicians. It is a different profession and they don't own the market on healthcare.

I think this thread has run its course as the OP admits to deceit.
