  1. AMA House of Delegates Considers Limits on on Nursing Education and Practice

    n_g replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    But how much of the public supports equating NP's/DNP's with physicians? Less than you think. When it comes to their health, vast majority of the public wants to see a physician....

  2. PA: Doc and anesthetist found liable after complications claim life of teen

    n_g replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Agreed. Too many knee-jerk reaction folks on

  3. PA: Doc and anesthetist found liable after complications claim life of teen

    n_g replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    And this will drive up malpractice premiums for autonomous CRNA's. If CRNA's and MDA's are supposedly equivalent, then their malpractice premiums should be equivalent

  4. PA: Doc and anesthetist found liable after complications claim life of teen

    n_g replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I think many of you are missing a critical point. If CRNA's are as good as an anesthesiologist who are trained not just for the OR but periop, did the CRNA fail to recognize a life-threatening...

  5. Curious...using the title "Doctor" for a DNP...

    n_g replied to justme1972's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    People should remember the saying, "if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it's a duck". It doesn't matter what Mundinger or these nursing organizations proclaim. Most people, including...

  6. Curious...using the title "Doctor" for a DNP...

    n_g replied to justme1972's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Exactly, except she's more diplomatic than me. I'm like the bull in the china shop.

  7. Curious...using the title "Doctor" for a DNP...

    n_g replied to justme1972's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    When the DNP's start claiming that they're just as good as the physicians and are competing directly with them, then it's no longer a waste of time. Again, look at the Louisiana CRNA pain case. Why...

  8. Curious...using the title "Doctor" for a DNP...

    n_g replied to justme1972's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Lol. You have no idea how many physicians would love to see such a case go to

  9. DNP's taking certification exam similar to USMLE by 2012?

    n_g replied to SteveNNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The nursing groups need to focus on increasing job opportunities for me instead of the docs. The medical groups can retaliate by increasing the number of docs and PA's. Dumb

  10. Curious...using the title "Doctor" for a DNP...

    n_g replied to justme1972's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Would any nurse here want to see a court case where some medical group challenges whether ANP's are practicing medicine or nursing? Like I said, many people here freely admit that NP's really are...

  11. CRNA vs AA

    n_g replied to grifftith's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    The only certain about the future is change. Researchers develop automated anesthesia

  12. CRNA vs AA

    n_g replied to grifftith's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    My hospital has both CRNA's and AA's and I have worked with both. Both are interchangeable. Of course, CRNA's never hear hostility from the anesthesiologists and typically vice versa. They keep it...

  13. CRNA vs AA

    n_g replied to grifftith's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Many of you fail to appreciate the backlash that is building against CRNA's. Every resident, every anesthesiologist I have spoken to never praises them. They just grudgingly say that they need them....

  14. Curious...using the title "Doctor" for a DNP...

    n_g replied to justme1972's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    But it doesn't have to be just through the legislative process. Politicians can be bought, but the judical process is a different case. Can the APN's with their DNP's, who Mundinger claims to be...

  15. Curious...using the title "Doctor" for a DNP...

    n_g replied to justme1972's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    If many people readily admit that ANP is really medicine, why should the physicians allow ANP's to continue to be regulated solely by BON's? If anything, ANP's should be regulated by either BOM's or...

  16. Curious...using the title "Doctor" for a DNP...

    n_g replied to justme1972's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I'm just injecting some reality in these discussions. I don't want to spend an extra two years of my life because Mundinger has an axe to grind with MD's. I'm not the only one who has said it on...

  17. Curious...using the title "Doctor" for a DNP...

    n_g replied to justme1972's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    There's so much cheerleading on here I think I'm going to get a cavity. Remember why the DNP was created. Because the nursing profession recognized that the NP training was deficient. Even with a...

  18. NP science preparation vs. MD science preparation

    n_g replied to amzyRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Cost is not the prohibitive factor. You would be comparing the outcomes of two groups. One by NP's. One by MD's. How many research studies and how much money do you think is spent on research...

  19. NP science preparation vs. MD science preparation

    n_g replied to amzyRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Monsieur wtbcrna, After "12+ semester credit hours of research classes mostly graduate hours not counting theory classes", what do you think the gold standard is for designing a research study? You...

  20. NP science preparation vs. MD science preparation

    n_g replied to amzyRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    So you don't agree with what the studies and so you go about attacking David's post. Isn't that your modus operandi? Don't agree, therefore attack the poster? We would all welcome well-designed...

  21. NP science preparation vs. MD science preparation

    n_g replied to amzyRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The lack of solid studies comparing NP vs MD care is not just an academic exercise. Insurance companies and states look at the studies too and hear from both sides, especially the insurance...

  22. NP science preparation vs. MD science preparation

    n_g replied to amzyRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    There is a reason why there is no study to truly compare NP vs MD care -- because it's unethical. No such study protocol could pass any IRB in this country. How do you design such a study?...

  23. Curious...using the title "Doctor" for a DNP...

    n_g replied to justme1972's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    In the end, this is all about ego for the DNP who wants to call herself "doctor". Because the ones who think that the DNP will make them equivalent to physicians are living in fantasyland. Let's all...

  24. NP science preparation vs. MD science preparation

    n_g replied to amzyRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If some hospital wants to let NP's become attendings, let them. That will be your study right there. Right now, it's unethical to randomly assign patients to either NP or MD care. The only studies...

  25. NP science preparation vs. MD science preparation

    n_g replied to amzyRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    jzzy88, I think that you'll be really disappointed if you go the NP route. Your posts suggest that you really want to believe that you'll be equivalent to a physician if you become an NP which is not...
