What are your thoughts folks? As an sNP, I think if we do the exact same work we absolutely deserve the same high salary that physicians get. Some of my peers in medical school say that education and qualifications deserve higher pay i.e. A college P...

Serious Question. Should US Medical schools and physicians be phased out in favor of an NP driven and lead healthcare system? Some of my NP Peers assert that a 2 year Master degree NP program provides the equivalent education and yield superior outco...

Hi Folks, So previously before I decided to pursue the NP route, I worked as an EMT while i studied. However, I've found the transition from "blue collar" field work to working in the office a bit challenging. I'm still doing clinical, but patients h...

Something I grapple to understand is how come our average salaries are in the $99k range. Is it because most NP's are new to the career and that skews it do the lower end? If we are reimbursed 80% of what physicians get, why are we paid 1/4 of what p...

So physicians are under the state medcial boards and nurse practitioners are under the nursing board. I know they say that NP's don't practice medicine, but rather we practice "nursing" but frankly I think this doesn't make sense. First of all, If I ...

You guys do realize how ridiculous you all sound. AA's are essentially PA's and I consider my PA colleagues extremely competent colleagues. You are being hypocrites by saying that aa are inadequate. And in terms of untested outcomes? I mean lets be s...

I don't mean to be rude or naive, but why is this a bad thing? AA's are essentially PA's. Shouldn't we be supporting them and their aims for independent practice as well? Why are you saying they are under trained and dangerous? Anesthesia is so safe ...

Legislature Votes to Make NP Payment Parity Law Permanent - Nurse Practitioners of Oregon Oregon equal pay for equal work law has been signed into law in an independent practice state with NP's and PA's getting paid FULL amount from private insurance...

I'm currently in an MSN program and not in a DNP program, but it seems like a common complaint on these threads here are about how our classes are bunch of fluff. I really haven't found any classes to be "fluffy" so to speak in that I thought all of ...

Data consistently shows np outcome superior to MD outcomes in Many factors if not equal... We need to tear down the MD gods who have zero competition in their profession. This is a capitalism, market based economy. The skilled tradesman and master c...

Why are you even here. You Are a medical student....

You can spend 20 years teaching somone the art of building a table. Or you can teach somone how to operate a mahcine that makes perfectly crafted tables. Its 2016 and not 1960. I learn most of my stuff online as do most of my colleagues and you don't...

This is a fairly basic quesiton that most NP/MD/DO'S/PA's should know easily.. Im also shocked that you got away without leanring how to identify/manage somehting so common. Your H&P is lacking and I would certainly hope you got a CXR before and...

Frankly, if we are talking about outcomes, NP education is indeed superior to MD education as the data indicates our outcomes are equal or superior to physician outcomes. This is the facts and really goes to show that NP education produces better pro...

Colllaboration is not necessary and should not be mandated at the government level. If you need help you should be bale to decide yourself an dnot be forced to collab wiht a md.

Which medical school is this?

Wow. That's pretty amazing that you are the main preclinical and clinical instructor for MD students. Which medical school do you teach?

As much as i appreciate your enthusiasm for the NP political movement, your assessment is actually wrong. Many medcial schools nowadays are doing some level of clinicals even in the firsst year. At one of my friend's medical school, they run health c...

Some lovers try positions they can't handle. Scaphoid, lunate, triquetrium, pistiform, trapezium//trapezoid capitate hamate.

On the job training like everyhting is the most important. Lengt of education doesnt matter. Studies shown np are supeiror if not equal providers compared to md. Np education is more efficient than md education which wastes a tremendous amount of tim...

Wow. There are more people applying than residnecy spots? How is that possible..... we have a physician shortage so why do they keep it so low on purpose tou have toask.

I feel bad for. Psychologists. They get their. Ph.D or Psyd and make far. Less than Psych NP.

You can get your DNP at an online school. However, hopkins might be a reach.

Not to be disrespectful, but psych is mostly talk therapy with some knowledge of the meds. Dont need experience cor it. Just need to be empathetic and good at conversing. That is 90 percent of the job.

While I am all for NP's with a DNP introducing themselves to patient's as Dr. So and so and saying that they are the doctor, I'm not sure if it is a good idea to say to them that you went to medical school as well.
