I noticed that on some of the other threads that there are resources stickies for the varying specialities. Is it possible to get one for this thread? I did a internet search for disaster nursing but there did not seem to be much information.

I was finally able to get the answer. There is not a specific course for suturing and casting for a NP but it is covered is the " health assessement" courses.

Thank you.

Thank you for the latest replies.

I was looking at few NP programs online but none seemed to mention suturing. Might it be listed under something else besides suturing i.e. advanced nursing care?

I was looking at few NP programs online but none seemed to mention suturing or casting. I assumed that a NP could do so. Is or isn't part of the scope of practice? Thank you for your replies.

Thank you very much.

Public Health vs Community Health; what's the difference? I was perusing a site and it listed nursing specialities with the two aforementioned ones. Is there a difference and if so what?

What are some analogies that you might give been the two professions?

Thanks for the replies.

Again, as an outsider, the terms seem more political to me than a great divide of different paradigms. As I mentioned earlier to me it seems like the models are not different per se but different parts of of the whole. Nurses monitored/assessed patient health and Doc's worked on diagnosis and treatment. What interests me in the field is I like the idea of helping people achieve health. I see doctors and nurses on the same team with the same goal just different jobs.

Someone stated, and this is a paraphrase: that the ANA is more concerned about professional recognition instead of improving working conditions. Is that a fair statement? What would you prefer?

On another site someone posted this: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reality is that there is "nursing" model is just a stupid catch phrase that nurses use to try and claim that they provide "different" and "better" care than doctors. Its used as a ploy to increase nurses scope of practice. They try to claim that doctors have no say over what they do because they operate under a "nursing" model whereas doctors are on a "medical" model. Its all a bunch of BS pandering and propaganda. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- As an outsider, I don't quite comphrehend the Doc vs Nurses battle. I always asummed that it was medical team that was working together. Sort of a technician working in conjunction with an engineer. Or in perhaps another naive way I thought that nurses monitored/assessed patient health and Doc's worked on diagnosis and treatment. So with that bieng said what is the differnce between the two models?
