  1. Nurses are Not Doctors

    arg110 replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    As long as I'm clear about this, you are of the opinion that managing blood pressure and blood sugar now equate to being totally competent to practice independently. I did notice the studies that...

  2. Nurses are Not Doctors

    arg110 replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I'm growing frustrated with the fact that you do not seem to read anything. It doesn't seem like you've actually read any of the studies you so readily cite, nor does it seem like you're fond of...

  3. Nurses are Not Doctors

    arg110 replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Before I misunderstand you, are you saying that you would have otherwise never known about pheo if you hadn't seen it during training? You're right, the virtue of one's education does not...

  7. Nurses are Not Doctors

    arg110 replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you - neither of those sound like good options. While it is my personal opinion and a matter for another debate entirely, I think that the 'work' some physicians do to review charts is...

  8. Nurses are Not Doctors

    arg110 replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    You're right - this debate is clearly biased. There have only been a handful of dissenting voices on this forum; the overwhelming majority of participants are staunchly in favor of complete autonomy...

  9. Nurses are Not Doctors

    arg110 replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    You can say that the study is valid over and over again but that does not mean it's fact. The flaws of the study ARE being addressed. For example, right here, right now. The outcomes of these...
