  1. discussion regarding education of NP (DNP) and PA compared to MD/DO

    mbreaz1 replied to RN to Medschool's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My point is not that you are right under normal circumstances, just that when a provider acts in an unethical manner and lies to their patient, yes you can conceal the truth about what type of care...

    mbreaz1 replied to RN to Medschool's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Not really such a good point. Some Caribbean med schools are accredited, and most of them do cost less. How do you make the determination that the AOA is less anti-competitive in its accreditation...

    mbreaz1 replied to RN to Medschool's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    They are still self governed accreditation processes that are designed to limit availablility and have been from the very start. I will direct you to my points on the Flexner report. Haven't heard any...

  4. discussion regarding education of NP (DNP) and PA compared to MD/DO

    mbreaz1 replied to RN to Medschool's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think that the medical profession places a lot of importance on titles. Most other professions have dropped the use of mister as a title. The medical profession still seems to perpetuate this sort...

  5. discussion regarding education of NP (DNP) and PA compared to MD/DO

    mbreaz1 replied to RN to Medschool's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Let's just examine your initial argument. You said that there is an accreditation process for medical schools. I agreed but said that it is an anticompetitive process. You implied that there was no...

  6. discussion regarding education of NP (DNP) and PA compared to MD/DO

    mbreaz1 replied to RN to Medschool's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Here is the key to your whole argument, the PCP in your scenario lied to their patient and acted unethically. Are you saying that primary care physicians routinely lie to their patients about their...

  8. discussion regarding education of NP (DNP) and PA compared to MD/DO

    mbreaz1 replied to RN to Medschool's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What you wrote is that the case had nothing to do with competition and consumer choice when in fact that is all it is about. The fact is that you don't ever really debunk anything. You simply say that...

    I did read the lawsuit. The ruling wasthat the AMA violated the Sherman Antitrust Act, which means they were GUILTY of unlawful restraint of trade.QUOTE FROM THE OPINION:]] This conduct constituted a...

  10. discussion regarding education of NP (DNP) and PA compared to MD/DO

    mbreaz1 replied to RN to Medschool's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Sure, they would agree accreditation is necessary, but not to the extent that the medical profession does it to limit competition. The AMA is the most anti-competitive group in the country. I don't...

    mbreaz1 replied to RN to Medschool's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Simple law of supply and demand. If there are fewer, it costs

  12. discussion regarding education of NP (DNP) and PA compared to MD/DO

    mbreaz1 replied to RN to Medschool's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The truth is that these accreditation procedures for medical schools are specifically designed to limit competition and have done so since their inception. That could be one reason that the poor...

    mbreaz1 replied to RN to Medschool's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What?

  14. discussion regarding education of NP (DNP) and PA compared to MD/DO

    mbreaz1 replied to RN to Medschool's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I really don't think there need to be any changes in the current curriculum for nurse practitioners other than to simply make it more uniform across programs. I also would agree that requiring a...

    mbreaz1 replied to RN to Medschool's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What you all fail to acknowledge is that patients are never happy if you don't provide good care. Those two are definitely mutually exclusive. You can't do a poor job and make a patient

    Yup, that's exactly what I

  17. Physician assistant versus Nurse practitioner

    mbreaz1 replied to xng's topic in Nursing Career

    You are the one who used the term initially. I was asking how you would define

  18. Physician assistant versus Nurse practitioner

    mbreaz1 replied to xng's topic in Nursing Career

    What do you mean by solo? Are you equating your experiences at a few hospitals with all US

  19. Physician assistant versus Nurse practitioner

    mbreaz1 replied to xng's topic in Nursing Career

    You do see hospital based NPs working solo and it isn't such a rare thing any more to see them working solo in the "real world". There are a large number of independently practicing nurse...

    mbreaz1 replied to RN to Medschool's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Huge flaw in this argument - how in the hell can you deliver terrible care and have a satisfied patient. That is complete foolishness. Give it

  21. discussion regarding education of NP (DNP) and PA compared to MD/DO

    mbreaz1 replied to RN to Medschool's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  23. discussion regarding education of NP (DNP) and PA compared to MD/DO

    mbreaz1 replied to RN to Medschool's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You think physician training is superior, when actually it is just excessive. Nobody in the nursing leadership claims it is the same, only that it is more than adequate and not excessive. What they...

  24. discussion regarding education of NP (DNP) and PA compared to MD/DO

    mbreaz1 replied to RN to Medschool's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    So what you are saying is that you can do a terrible job and still deliver good service? I don't think so. You can't separate the two in any business. If you didn't satisfy the customer, you didn't do...

  25. discussion regarding education of NP (DNP) and PA compared to MD/DO

    mbreaz1 replied to RN to Medschool's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    So now we have identified your real problem with all of this. You don't want NPs to have the right to practice independently while PAs will never get that right. So you really don't stand to gain...
