  1. Nurses are Not Doctors

    MD2B replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you. I swear I'm not here to be antagonistic. I'm post-call right now so I might be a ill cranky :) I'm here to learn the other side, offer one physicians perspective, and hopefully we can all...

  2. Nurses are Not Doctors

    MD2B replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Im a resident but I'm here for the same reason as everyone else. I like discussion and I could easily sit in a room of all doctors and here their side but it is biased so I like to hear the...

    Same reason as you I

  4. Nurses are Not Doctors

    MD2B replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    This is just wrong. In every sense, I'm sorry. In order to get into American medical school, an MD or DO program, you need a bachelors degree. The course requirements you see are contingent upon...

  5. Nurses are Not Doctors

    MD2B replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    um what? Do you know what the MD is? Medical school is not just a program, it's a doctorate program. This shouldn't need explaining... No doctors do not just have bachelors degrees. They have...

  6. Nurses are Not Doctors

    MD2B replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Again no one would argue that nurses and APNs dont know a lot but if you want to continue to insist on comparing yourself to interns and residents it looks really silly. Of course you are going to...

  7. Nurses are Not Doctors

    MD2B replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    You mention this like it's a bad thing. Medicine is a team sport, always has been and always should be. Quality and safety improve when we (nursing, medicine, all other healthcare fields) work...

    MD2B replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    In my hospital, none of those fields practice on inpatient. If a patient needs to see a dentist they go to a dentist office, also dentistry school is very similar to medical school. If they need to...

  9. Nurses are Not Doctors

    MD2B replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I would argue in the academic setting I 100% agree with you. Anyone who has a doctorate has earned the right to be called Dr So and so. However, in healthcare this can be confusing and it isn't...

  10. Nurses are Not Doctors

    MD2B replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure I understand this comment. If NPs want to practice independently, just like an MD does why would they not have the same malpractice. Do you not see the same patients? Do you not share the...

  11. Nurses are Not Doctors

    MD2B replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    In order for a doctor from a foreign country (whether it be a MBBS/Bachelors that you are referring to or another foreign medical degree) they must be licensed before they can be called doctor or have...
