  12. As a NP in Texas, I absolutely will not support this bill! NPs are not physicians, have only a shred of their training, and should have physician oversight. If NPs want total autonomy, then go to...
  13. DNP vs MD

  16. Grandfather clause for DNP?

    Patients and big govt have caused our problems! Healthcare is a priviledge not a right. It is terrible business to try and make it on what they reimburse. They are walking away in droves. It would be...
  22. There is absolutely ZERO reason for us, as NPs, to have people address us as "Dr" in the clinical setting. This has been talked about ad nauseum on this forum. No body owns a title but the use of it...
