prelift

money always plays somewhat of a factor and one should not be guilty of that. I don't think I would medicine for 50k per year for life, but it is a great and interesting job. More than likely people would not CRNA for 50k either, not when less stress...

I've read most of them. "Equal outcomes for high blood pressure, diabetes, high lipids, blah blah blah" Then it follows mortality rates, luckily most people don't die during 6 month long studies so yeah of course it is equal. Then in fine print at t...

It's ok tho. Only been in neuro residency one month and have had three nps on the hospital service consult me for confusion/AMS on patients with cirrhosis without even ordering NH3 lab. Not sure where their attending is but lol. And yes we get consu...

Shia owner. I don't even comment on what you said except to point out you stated two opposing statements in your post. What exactly do you want me to find evidence for related to that? The only studies done physician vs np are for the basic 5 diagn...

1. you are not in practice yet so the opinion on study vs provider ability is not worth a grain of salt 2. if you are at a for profit online np school you are probably not learning what you need to learn. 3. the studies you refer to only count like 5...

Chiros can be huge scam artists. If they advertise they can fix anything besides neck and back pan run from their lies. They can go to jail for saying they are medical doctors.

It's pretty pathetic people can do 2 or whatever years at some schools doing discussion board posts then 500 clinical hours and get prescriptive rights

Lol you say prior nursing experience had a negative correlation then later in your post you say it helps. Please quit debating.

lol have to shadow one before you dump your life into a lifetime of sitting in the OR, less patient contact than most other specialties, and pumping drugs. One surgery rotation and one anesthesia rotation and I was like "nah brah ill pass." If you en...

At your age I would try management opportunities. Having outside experience with other types of work is often more useful than the career nurse in nursing going up into management.

The whole doctor title is lame anyway and more less provides discourse between patients and their provider. If they call me by my first name thats fine, I could care less. If a nurse does it out of spite I would not like it though, but if we are chil...

It taught myself some social skills back in the day otherwise yeah didn't like it at all. Being the only dude on a floor of middle aged females was not very pleasant. Especially when on the days you worked they all had back issues and could not lift ...

The fact they still do not have one year of basic sciences in the curriculum and then some generalist clinicals and then a "fellowship" year for whichever NP specialty one would like to perform in still beats me. Probably a money issue since why pay ...

A formal education is psych care is pretty broad of a statement. Getting a few lectures over psychiatry does not promote someone to uber nurse psychiatrist status. If one considers psych to be mostly just handing out SSRI and handling kids on ADHD, a...

Most physicians are wise enough to not practice outside of his or her scope. For an APRN to do so is asking for a lawyer thomping.

other would be a more fitting term than general since as per stated above it is an oxycodone. I mean moron.

Because they know they do not know as much even though NP think they do (at least some of them think they do). Have you even graduated yet or diagnosed or prescribed???? No, your sitting at home posting on your discussion boards to become physician-l...

Bad candidates go to bad schools because they are easy. There are no easy med schools in america. There are tons of easy NP schools. Anybody can dunk a ball on a one foot high goal but not everyone can dunk on a 12 foot high goal or however high they...

Will probably get hate from this but some of the best docs/nps/etc I have known are problem fixers. We really are all problem fixers. If i call an AC repair dude to my house I do not want sobby empathy, false tears, and what not. I want my AC fixed. ...

could have been written better but it isnt lies. Not as bad as the "studies" provided by nursing organisations trying to say they can 100% doctor with less education and more online discussion posting.

there is a study showing a decent oversupply of PA and NP by 2025 they still show shortage of physicians at that time https://bhw.hrsa.gov/sites/default/files/bhw/health-workforce-analysis/research/projections/primary-care-state-projections2013-2025....

if people are signing a 5 line long signature they arent seeing enough patients or spending time with them.

Our minds get used to things as we continually deal with them. It is not wrong to not have some deep empathy toward patients. We have a duty to do what is best for them, nothing else. With a judgement of duty; empathy, compassion, etc is not required...

No, your brain cannot learn unless you are currently enrolled in a degree program. You have to bring your frontal lobe to the registrar so they can stick a myelin forming electrode in there for new memory formation.

i used to just sign APRN or NP. whatever my hand wanted to do at that moment since both were allowed by facility. who in their right mind would waste more time signing something ridiculous...
