  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

    So just explain so that everyone can hear why you don't want to face competition? Is it maybe because you have a terrible fear that you will lose out to it? If you provide so much more value, then why...

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

    When did I say get rid of preventative medicine? I never said that. I said stop forcing insurers to pay for it. That doesn't mean stop doing it. It means do it and let the patient pay you for it. You...

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

    I fully understand your thinking regarding the hierarchy here and the levels of education that each professional has attained. The problem with your thinking is that you want to project your ideas...

  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

    If you plan to compare the two then let's not leave out all of the mistakes that physicians make. You act like nurse practitioners are the only people on earth who can make a medical error. I have...

  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

    Your first mistake was assuming that I meant you when I mentioned NPs in specialty practice. I never say YOU, now did I? When did I ever say I was an NP? Don't put words in my mouth darling. You are...

  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

    I'm not exactly sure where you and I got off track. Most of this sounds like something that I would say. I would say the exception being that you think there is a true massive demand for primary care...

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

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

    Mostly the ones who would disagree are the NPs who have pigeonholed themselves into specialty practice and will never have the opportunity to practice independently once the laws are changed. Most of...

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

    You are the one who is blinded and by your own emotion. You fail to actually argue any of the points that I am making, and furthermore it is only the argument that I care about, not the "tone of the...

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

    I used to date a bartender, what the hell is your point? Have you been in a monogamous relationship since law school too? I fail to see the relevance of any of that and would love to know how you...

  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

    I'm certainly not sure that you would ever be accused of using sound logic in your arguments. What you reason is that physicians are the only important piece of healthcare. The truth is that they are...

  11. 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 don't really care how much education doctors receive, but they are certainly not some of the most educated individuals in the country. There are far more educated people in many walks of life than...

  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

    If you can't help more than 50% understand enough, then you need to find a different profession. You act as though the concepts are rocket science, when most of them are very simple to explain if you...

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

    Whoa, you guys resort to name calling a little bit too much. Self righteous windbags? Look who is talking. Society hasn't villianized doctors and the the healthcare profession. They have villianized...

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

    I have a perfectly clear picture of what the rates are and have posted the link for you below. Sorry, 6.8% ain't the number either. Take a look for yourself and be enlightened....

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

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

    Nobody was discussing an hourly rate. We were talking about professional salaries. So your point is completely invalid about what you made in high school. There are tons of lawyers and CPAs who work...

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

    Who cares if you have to pay them back during residency? When was that ever the point? NOBODY CARES! GET IT? NOBODY CARES if you conisder it to be a GOOD salary or not. DEAL WITH IT. If someone...

    Dear God, is Self Pity 101 the first course they teach in medical schools these days? There are tons of other fields that students start out with higher student loan debt balances in proportion to...

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

    First of all, I think your study here is a little dated. If you check more recent figures, physician salaries are growing again. Don't bring out a study that is seven years old and try to call it...

  19. 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 never used that statement to justify paying physicians less. I used it to say that they should stop crying about their student loan debt and stop trying to use that to justify getting paid more. We...

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

    It sounds more like you have no clue what you are talking about. That statement makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. You had to explain it to me? Where is your

  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

    I will start by telling you that I am very familiar with the very recent past in healthcare, and by telling you that you are way off on your guessing. You know what you get when you assume. When...

  22. 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 we go again with the crying about physicians being underpaid. Other professionals are compensated based on the value that they provide in a competitive marketplace. If physicians want to compete...

  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

    Your first mistake is that you think these problems are disparate and you have a complete lack of understanding of the economics surrounding our healthcare problem. These issues are inherently...

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

    mbreaz1 replied to TakeBack's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If primary care is one of the hardest specialties and requires more training, then why do primary care physicians not train as long as their specialist colleagues? You are putting words in my mouth...
