1. DNP changing perscribing authority

   zedillo85 replied to Secel's topic in Doctoral

   We should make the same since we basically do the same thing they do. I don't understand why administrators are treating NP like second class citizens...

2. What do you prefer to be called?

   zedillo85 replied to Alexxoxox's topic in Doctoral

   Well, if you have earned it, why not use it...

3. What do you prefer to be called?

   zedillo85 replied to Alexxoxox's topic in Doctoral

   I think it's appropriate for them to refer themselves as doctors as long as they specify that they are nurse practitioners i.e. 'I am Dr X, your nurse practitioner.' It's up to the staff to call DNP doctor. Almost all of them won't. Don't expect phy...

4. Needing encouragement: I think I regret being an FNP

   zedillo85 replied to Trilldayz,RN BSN's topic in Advanced

   I agree that standardization will probably fix many of the issues that APN are confronting now... No matter how we keep thumping our chest about equal outcomes, the public, and most importantly, healthcare organizations will never treat us like physi...

5. Are you a nurse practitioner without any nursing experience?

6. Needing encouragement: I think I regret being an FNP

   zedillo85 replied to Trilldayz,RN BSN's topic in Advanced

   Well, you might be right because I just could not understand why some NP are having a hard time finding jobs while primary care physicians aren't... It just does not make sense to me if one (NP) is way cheaper and they are the ones who are getting th...

   They should fight for autonomy in all 50 states then... It's either they can replace PCP MD/DO completely or they can't. In states that they are fully autonomous, they should not be looking for jobs. MD/DO PCP should since there is no difference in t...

   Fire all the MD/DO primary care docs and hire NP since they can do a better job at a cheaper price than them according to studies... MD/DO in primary care have no trouble finding jobs anywhere in the country, so why is that different for FNP?

9. Hospital NPs & Lounge Access

   zedillo85 replied to wyld~heart's topic in Advanced

   Why do hospital treat physicians as if they are kings/queens? Physicians' lounge, separate parking space! Are they more important than the other hospital staffs?

10. Hospital NPs & Lounge Access

    zedillo85 replied to wyld~heart's topic in Advanced

    The disparity is already there... It's a weird thing. I know one place who does not let 'NP' and PA use the physicians' lounge, but let CRNAs do it. The same thing goes for parking space..
