  1. Should NPs become COMPLETELY independent?

    viral2010 replied to BS, NP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Nope. No problems doing my job at all. Been doing for about 14yrs now. I have a problem with people thinking they know as much as physicians and then lauding that on their patients. That is exactly...

  2. Why are so many Doctors hostile towards the DNP?

    viral2010 replied to Meesterjojo's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Nps were NOT meant to be generalists. Once again, you have no idea about what you're saying. I was educated as a Pedi Crit Care NP, does that seem generalist to you? Most NPs, other than FNPs are ALL...

    Once again, not angry and hostile. Physcians are only trying to protect patients from nps who don't have the education to be safe and autonomous. Most professions that practice autonomously dont have...

    viral2010 replied to BS, NP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If you are practicing autonomously, YOU are a danger to your patients. You shouldn't threaten people over a public forum, not very nice. In addition, nothing has been said about our profession that...

    viral2010 replied to Meesterjojo's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Im glad that you know so much about my profession. The fact is that you have NO idea at all. You have been wrong from the begining because you have zero insight into this profession. If NPs want to...

    viral2010 replied to Meesterjojo's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

  10. Why are so many Doctors hostile towards the DNP?

    viral2010 replied to Meesterjojo's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I would love to see the proof that NPs are leaving in droves. If they are leaving in droves to be independent, then that's their problem. I'm glad we NPs have the physician oversight requirement in...

  12. Why are so many Doctors hostile towards the DNP?

    viral2010 replied to Meesterjojo's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    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

    viral2010 replied to healthstar's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    The fact that NPs have better satisfaction ratings from pateints has no bearing on whether they were treated correctly or not. As an NP, my focus is that of safely managing patients and not on how...

    viral2010 replied to 2muchHeart's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Would you want your foreskin removed without pain control? The argument that neonates have less pain response is ridiculous! Yes, I will agree that holding infants down is a cause for sig. irritation...

  16. Grandfather clause for DNP?

    viral2010 replied to forpath's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

  22. MD, DO, NP, DC, OD -- Who deserves the title Physician?

    viral2010 replied to RMARTINNC's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    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...
