  1. Do pharma reps target you??

    AndersRN replied to alfredlikes's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That's kind of a naive statement to make... Do you that these people track your prescribing

  2. Do pharma reps target you??

    AndersRN replied to alfredlikes's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Studies have shown these stuff that big pharma do influence doctors' prescribing pattern... Common sense would tell people that they would not do it if it did not work.. . Study Affirms Pharma's...

  3. Does it bother CRNA's that MDA's get so much more...?

    AndersRN replied to ICU, RN, BSN, B.S.'s topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Is the percentage of CRNA that do transplants/open heart/difficult cases equal to that of MD anesthesiologists? I am afraid that we might be comparing apples to

  4. Why DNP and not MD?

    AndersRN replied to koreanjohn32's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    My comparison of NP to a BCP was to answer your claim that NP and physician provide the same type of care when all being equal (hence I used the word AVERAGE) because there are certainly good NP; and...

  5. Why DNP and not MD?

    AndersRN replied to koreanjohn32's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    They are extenders in my state since they have to have some type of collaborative agreement with their supervising doc! I am not going to keep repeating myself here... I did not have a problem...

  6. Why DNP and not MD?

    AndersRN replied to koreanjohn32's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    No I don't.. I guess most NP have some kind of ego, so they think calling themselves whatever will make people think they are some kind of big shot.. At the end of the day, they are physician...

  7. Why DNP and not MD?

    AndersRN replied to koreanjohn32's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Context! Someone who earns a DDS is technically a surgeon, but you don't hear people call dentists with DDS

  8. Why DNP and not MD?

    AndersRN replied to koreanjohn32's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    NP or DNP can be whatever they want. Does not bother me at all... But I certainly don't call them Dr. [insert] in healthcare settings. Nor will I do it for a PharmD/DPT/ or a PA that has a PhD in...

  9. Why DNP and not MD?

    AndersRN replied to koreanjohn32's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I define it the same way most people in the world do, except in healthcare

  10. Why DNP and not MD?

    Pod and dentists ARE

  11. Improving NP Education

  12. Why DNP and not MD?

    AndersRN replied to koreanjohn32's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I don't know if it's because physicians sit on the hospital board or not. Even last year they took away NP/PA 'physician' lounge and parking privileges. i actually thought that was unfair... But I...

  13. Why DNP and not MD?

    AndersRN replied to koreanjohn32's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I wonder why some states and hospitals already ban wannabe doctors (i.e. physicians) from calling themselves doctors in healthcare

  14. Why DNP and not MD?

    AndersRN replied to koreanjohn32's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    i know you think having your DNP will make people think you are a doctor (i.e a physician)... It won't! People will just role their eyes when you introduce yourself as such in healthcare

  15. Why DNP and not MD?

    AndersRN replied to koreanjohn32's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    OK... A NP is as competent as a Cardiologist

  16. Why DNP and not MD?

    AndersRN replied to koreanjohn32's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I don't need to conduct any research to show a NP is not superior than a cardiologist... That is just common sense! The same way one does not need to conduct a research to compare a CNA vs a LPN...

  17. Why DNP and not MD?

    AndersRN replied to koreanjohn32's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    It's always anyone's choice, but when one has some knowledge in healthcare as I have, you know who are competent and who are

  18. Why DNP and not MD?

    AndersRN replied to koreanjohn32's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    i guess there will come the day when PCP will put in their consult 'NP GI consult'... I know some physicians who have tried to send their NP to take care of consults... And it has created some issues...

  19. Why DNP and not MD?

    AndersRN replied to koreanjohn32's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Here is one of your statements I quoted:"Aside from surgery and a few other specific areas NP work in the same capacity as physicians" These specialists are physicians! You were not talking about...

  20. Why DNP and not MD?

    AndersRN replied to koreanjohn32's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I was not trolling! Do you want an NP to be your GI practitioner? Do you want an NP to be your cardiologist? Do you want a NP to run a tertiary level ER with no ER docs? Do you want a NP to lead a...

  21. Why DNP and not MD?

    AndersRN replied to koreanjohn32's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Yeah! I will wait for the NP to read my brain MRI, CT/PET scan etc... I will also have them place my stent... They will also be in the pathology lab interpretating tissue samples.

  22. Why DNP and not MD?

    AndersRN replied to koreanjohn32's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I was not clear... I was referring to how clueless patients are about healthcare personnels. For most patients, if you are not a doctor, you are a nurse especially if you are a

  23. Why DNP and not MD?

    AndersRN replied to koreanjohn32's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    My experience is different than yours in hospital

  24. Why DNP and not MD?

    AndersRN replied to koreanjohn32's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I can educate patients about what it takes to become a pharmacist or a RN etc.. Do you think that will make ANY difference in their recovery? I did not know if that was part of my job description to...

  25. Why DNP and not MD?

    AndersRN replied to koreanjohn32's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Of course we (healthcare professionals) should care because we are the ones that have to explain to these patients the nuances... If it satisfies DNP ego, they are welcome to use the title... But...
