  1. ARIZONA NPs!

    AAC.271 replied to kj954's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    That's a shallow reason to pursue further education just to be called a doctor. Pursue the dnp to improve your knowledge. If you didn't get to be called doctor in the clinical setting would you still...

  2. Should NPs replace School Nurses?

    AAC.271 posted a topic in General Nursing

    AAC.271 replied to Grumble88's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  6. MD gossip

    AAC.271 replied to orangepink's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    They are being condescending as heck. If you were an MD they would let that slide. Our degree is so disrespected by the condescending physicians it really upsets me. Every little mistake we make is...

  7. Equal work for Equal Pay

    AAC.271 replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Exactly! Thank you for your comments. This is exactly why I also believe physicians and physician education is outdated. They belong to an antiquated system built for the 20th century. This is the...

  8. Equal work for Equal Pay

    AAC.271 replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That is irrelevant and I do not appreciate the slighted jab at me. I am not bitter at not becoming a physician. I am proud to become a future NP after I graduate from my program and happy to be...

  9. Eliminating Physicians/Medical Schools

    AAC.271 replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  12. Private practice as a CRNA

    AAC.271 replied to oobray's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    1. I never implied the NP field is not tightly regulated. What I was trying to say is as we gain more privileges and independence, the need to regulate the curriculum and training, CME, and other...

  13. Private practice as a CRNA

    AAC.271 replied to oobray's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    What I mean is that you can choose to go into those speciality fields more easily than for medical students since they have to go through a residency and not everyone can receive a residency offer for...

  15. Private practice as a CRNA

    AAC.271 replied to oobray's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I'm not trying to be rude, but I'm just being honest. Becoming an NP opens up so many opportunities that your won't get from medical school because our profession is not as highly regulated yet. In...

    AAC.271 replied to MomAndSonInMD's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Nursing school followed by ER followed by MSN. Considered applying to med school, but did not do well on the MCAT. I think all of us would have been great physicians, but there are just so many...

  18. Private practice as a CRNA

    AAC.271 replied to oobray's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Blue bolt, why didn't you go to medical school if that was the case then if you keep saying CRNA is just as difficult and as much work as medical school. Plus, you get paid more as an

    AAC.271 replied to oobray's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  21. Eliminating Physicians/Medical Schools

    AAC.271 replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    From a primary care perspective, exactly right on. But what is increasingly happening is that many NP's are entering specialties as well and gaining experience in these fields. I am friends with a GI...

  22. Eliminating Physicians/Medical Schools

    AAC.271 replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Perhaps I am too progressive thinking, but look at where we are now! 10 years ago who would have even contemplated the np profession equalizing with primary care doctors. Now there is a general...
