  1. Do you think NP's are "midlevels"?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    When you say "doctor" do you mean a doctor of nursing practice, or the other doctor that goes to school for the same period of time as a DNP (e.g. DNP=4 years BSN/2 years MSN/2 years DNP; MD=4 years...

  4. Do NP's Practice Medicine?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to TerryBSN's topic in Post Graduate Students

  6. states NP's practice solo?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to 1nuttynurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Physicians probably like the control over PA's where as APN's operate in a totally separate discipline. Control is the key. The only control that physicians have over APN's is the control APN's...

  7. Do NP's Practice Medicine?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to ANPFNPGNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Wow. Great info. Do you have desk tops in each exam room? Also, just curious about start up costs and time it took to actually get out of debt from start up and overhead.

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

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    There is a clear distinction between the generation of best evidence and ultimately how evidence is implemented into practice. I feel that nursing practice is based on best evidence in which data is...

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to justme1972's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

  18. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    You are absolutely right. When I take a step back, I now just see it as nothing more than hate speech provided by those who have never touched a patient and are sure to be faced with serious problems...

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

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Too true. That's why APN's have to stand together and educate the public that physician and APN services are guided, informed and directed by separate philosophies and

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

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare
