Furryville Collectible Single Figure Nurse Quacktitioner

This is for those of you who want to leave a review letting people know how wrong this image of a nurse is.

Geez! Lighten up! It's stuffed animal!

Specializes in ICU, M/S,Nurse Supervisor, CNS.

I think its cute. I kinda want one...:rolleyes:

Specializes in adult ICU.

I personally find it very offensive and very politically charged. Those of you that think it is "cute" obviously have no idea that there is a HUGE debate going on right now in the medical/nursing community over the validity of the DNP degree as the entry to practice level of preparation for nurse practitioners.

Short version -- MDs are threatened by the DNP-prepared NP and if I am not mistaken, the AMA even put out a position paper or something stating that DNP/NPs are more or less second class citizens and are nowhere near as well as prepared as MDs, provide inferior care, etc. etc. etc. It's a big huge turf war, in any case (I'm sorry to those of you that know more about this issue than I do, feel free to correct or add to my description of the issue.)

So, a "nurse quactitioner" is a fuzzy stuffed animal .... and a "quack". That's awesome. Totally a positive image. So much for the safe, cost-effective, knowledgable, holistic care NPs provide....

Not cool. Not cool at all.
