Hello, fellow NPs/PAs/Pharmacists/Optometrists/DO Has anyone read the book titled "Patients at Risk: The Rise of the Nurse Practitioner and Physician Assistant in Healthcare" by Dr. Niran Al Agba Saad ? It is sad that in this book some rare case...

so, I got lots of emails pertaining to this piece of gem written by Dr. Saad. There are comments posted by readers who have not even read the book on Amazon, interesting..., https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08M9YJQR3 here's the link to am...

Previous post from danceluver in allnurses.com >>I am currently an American nurse. But have wanted to relocate to London for the last year or so. I am not going to pursue working as an RN in the UK simply because the process is way too demandin...

I am sick with PA/NP/MD debates on allnurses forum. It seems same stuff keeps coming back .. which adds no value at all in healthy and fruitful discussions. First, this is a NP specialty sub topic in the allnurses website. I see RNs/LPNs/PAs etc pos...

Well doc, you have hit nail right over its head. Great post by you for your giving honest opinion in nursing forum. I think you don't want to hurt the egos of know all NP program educators/professionals, who fail to see that how hard it is for fresh...

Some more to add: 1) While I was in NP school all NP students were left alone in jungle to find rotation with preceptors/hospitals on their own, whereas I noticed that in same school's PA program, the school arranged rotations for their PA students ...

Hi, Nurses: I am applying for MD school after completing my FNP as I am not really impressed with quality of certification in FNP. The AANP review board are more with nurses, and I wish they had M.D. in nursing board. When I took my FNP courses, I h...

Quote from NY Post- "One good outcome of last December's federal budget deal is that doctors' groups convinced Congress to delay the VA's plan to substitute nurse practitioners for primary-care doctors until the risks could be assessed. If only New Y...

Alicia777 .. which makes me wonder why can't we have a separate licensing board for nurse practitioners? Besides, I see nothing in common between RN and NP professions, and keeping a valid RN license along with NP license is a nuisance & pain for...

On the contrary, I had patients who liked to see only NP instead of MD providers. Let me admit though that these patients had well searched on google, and were very well informed that NPs were better than MDs in listening and caring for their patient...

No pun intended, these subject lines would be a fit for prestigious New York Times: 1. Lawn doctors are not doctors 2. Car M.D. are not real M.D. 3. Dr. OZ on tv is not a profitable m.d. since he prefers alternative medicines in health care 4. Witch ...

I agree with FutureeastcoastNP's comments regarding NPs requiring to take advanced courses in genetics, microbio, cell biology, etc. In fact some good NP programs do offer advanced courses in these subjects. Further, there are good online courses o...

cayenne06, "MDs go through training that RNs and APNs cannot even imagine...", please explain? First, it is wrong to club RNs with APNs, and it has been stated several times in this forum that beside the keyword "nursing" in their titles, there is no...

Hello new_horizon555: When did you complete your FNP program? Previously you stated that you were planning to start your program in May 2012. Just curious...

wildcatarnp- Completing DNP program would be a good idea if you have a full scholarship/funding provided by the institution. Do not take any loans since it might add your debt. Regarding your original question about FNP not having a job- I thought yo...

For some reason my PA friends are having a tough time to get jobs in primary clinics and hospitals, whereas all of my FNP friends have landed in $95000 - $100000+ job offers. Not sure why...

In my opinion MD route is a best option. Look at the VA jobs for nurse practitioners, pay scale is 56000 - 96000, whereas general physician (MD) salary range is 96000 - 375000. Same work but huge difference in pay scale. It is outrageous. If you are...

Adenium, how do you justify the quality of training to your patients when you tell them you have not been to medical school? The point is that there is big gap between MD and NP training, and that void has to be filled in NP schools by bringing more ...

UMAshtangi, Fitz. book and her audio CD is good enough for AANP. If you are scoring are 66 -68 % in APEA mock tests, I think you should be ok to clear AANP. Do not be intimidated with size & number of questions in AANP. Just confidently answer t...

Thank you mrmedical for your excellent advice on pursuing medicine. Hmm, so it appears that grass is not green at other side as well. I can understand the frustration of new medical graduates from US schools, who have to be compete with foreign medi...
