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

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

    Yeah, I had an interesting conversation with one of our ER docs today. Was talking about a smaller ER that I moonlight at, that has been the subject of a lot of state and national attention, as there...

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

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

    Well, Arizona must have different regulatory bodies. Here in Minnesota, there is the Board of Medical Practice which regulates physicians, PA's, and virtually everyone who isn't a nurse, and then...

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

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

    Miss Mab, thank you for your honest, and well written post. FWIW, I agree with you regarding some of the trends within the PA profession as well. It troubles me, and this is why I say that new...

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

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

    + 1000 silas. Lessee. 1. PA's/MD's- educated in the medical model, no nursing theory BS which is "completely useless drivel"- (from an NP I actually supervise) NP's- various educational models, with...

  5. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    physasst replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Right, but if we look at medicine as an example. The crushing student debt load, and decreased enrollment from underserved areas in medical schools secondary to the increased financial committments...

  6. DNP- convince me....

    physasst posted a topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Okay, I'm trying to be open minded, so please. Those experts on NP practice here, convince WHY a DNP should be required by 2015, and not simply recommended, or offered as an alternative. I'm not...

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

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

    I agree with that, and I've noted that the current "Truth and Transparency" legislation before congress currently, is likely to pass, and would make those rules and regulations a NATIONAL law. Which...

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

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

    It was not a personal attack in the least. Your words compared a DNP to an MD. Not mine. PharmD is a doctorate, as is PT....none of them refer to themselves as doctor. Because of the practice...

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

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

    Are you honestly trying to compare a DNP degree to an MD degree? Really? That is the height of blatant arrogance. A DNP is NOT a clinical doctor, despite their feelings to the contrary. I'll tell you...

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

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

    I think that the DNP degree will decrease enrollment. By increasing academic standards, making the program longer, and therefore MORE expensive, you may dissuade many RN's from making the jump. This,...
