    Nurses are Not Doctors

    wtbcrna replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Just for clarification: Medical students earn their Doctorate (M.D. or D.O. in the U.S.) after completing medical/DO school. They are usually considered physicians at that time or when they pass the...

    Nurses are Not Doctors

    wtbcrna replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I think online NP schools are in the same category as not requiring medical students to goto classes. It is funny thing sharing a class with medical students when they outnumber your APN class by 5 to...

    Nurses are Not Doctors

    wtbcrna replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    1. APNs school do have common curriculum they have to follow, and at the APN level nursing and medical school education becomes blurred. APNs learn and take many of the same subjects as physicians....

    I choose to believe in scientific evidence not overblown

    Nurses are Not Doctors

    wtbcrna replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    The ball is in your court to provide scientific evidence to support your view against NP independence. I have already provided meta-analyses, literature reviews, and RCTs. Where you have provided...

    That would be a yes which I thought was obvious with my first sentence. The rest of my posts was for clarification on that

    Wow, thanks for summing up your arguments about NP independence so

    Nurses are Not Doctors

    wtbcrna replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I think they both could provide equal care in the FP setting. What is important for any type of healthcare provider to know is when to consult. I have seen both physicians and nurses make mistakes,...

    Nurses are Not Doctors

    wtbcrna replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I fully understand the difference between a clinical doctorate and research doctorate. Since I have one and will be starting the other in the Fall semester. The point about MD/PhDs is as valid as...

    wtbcrna replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    So, you are saying that your training taught you to quote Wikipedia as solid scientific evidence source. I think I would ask for refund on your research

    Nurses are Not Doctors

    wtbcrna replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Considering I have seen one of the worst or easiest FP residencies to get into (depending on your point of view) and worked/taught some of those residents I wouldn't use that as an apt comparison. NPs...

    wtbcrna replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Where is your scientific evidence to support any of your arguments? I understand you are an SDN troll, but somewhere in your education you must have had some training on looking at

    Nurses are Not Doctors

    wtbcrna replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I have been a nurse for 16 years. I have been an independent CRNA for approximately the last 5 of those years. Just because someone has a higher degree and took more classes in x subject does not...

    Nurses are Not Doctors

    wtbcrna replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    This is just idiotic to respond to. You discount meta-analysis from Cochorane databases/literature reviews/other meta-analyses, state that nursing home care is easy (how many times have you actually...

    Nurses are Not Doctors

    wtbcrna replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Physicians groups have been espousing the inferiority of nurses for decades/100+ years in the case of CRNAs. There is no doubt that any physician group that can and could prove any slight inferiority...

    Military to pay for school?

    wtbcrna replied to Hobberdog's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    The payback is approximately 1:1 for HPSP, and a 5 year payback if you goto one of the two military CRNA

    Nurses are Not Doctors

    wtbcrna replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    You cannot cite what it is that NPs do not know. You refute every scientific study done showing that NPs provide quality care independent that is comparable to physician care, and no medical society...

    Nurses are Not Doctors

    wtbcrna replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    You never did answer then why doesn't the AMA come out with their own studies showing superiority of physician training? The data nor those studies are flawed. The beliefs that some physicians have...

    Nurses are Not Doctors

    wtbcrna replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I read that more residency locations had opened up in 2012-2013, so hopefully this won't be that big of an issue. I also wonder how the military plays into these numbers for matching. Each one of the...

    Nurses are Not Doctors

    wtbcrna replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Where is the documentation that all these medical students are not getting residencies? I didn't find it, but I am sure it happens to some extent. The data doesn't seem to be that there are that...

    AA student contemplating CRNA track...advice?

    wtbcrna replied to tangeorine's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    AAs have no proven track record, because there are no studies showing that AAs are safe and effective independent anesthesia providers. AAs are stuck working in ACT practices, and ACT practices are...

    Nurses are Not Doctors

    wtbcrna replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    There is no chart on page 7, but referring to the chart on page 8 there was over 120 FP residencies not filled and over a 1000 FP residency spots were given to foreign medical school graduates. That...

    DNP vs MD

    wtbcrna replied to healthstar's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    The clinical doctorate will probably become a requirement for all APNs at some point, but just like when the MSN became a requirement I would expect that NPs that still have their MSN will be...

    DNP vs MD

    wtbcrna replied to healthstar's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I am not sure how that is even applicable to this discussion. A DNP is continuation of education, and it gives absolutely no further clinical change of authority or ability to do anything that...
