1. Why is our salary so low?

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

   Exactly! Online nursing degrees are a joke and it is a widely talked about joke. I would be embarrassed if a patient asked me where I got my degree and I told them xzy online school. How could I gain...

2. Way too many NP programs and grads!

   HBrnGirl replied to momofm1998's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   I almost peed my pants reading this. And some people on AN think that NP=MD.

3. Hate my FNP job

   HBrnGirl replied to FNPCA's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   And your point is??? NP's need to understand, you are not queen bee of the medical community. Check the diva attitude at the door. You have significantly less education than an MD. Meaning you don't...

4. Nurse practitioner vs Medicine turf war?

   HBrnGirl replied to Infofreak411's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   Wait a minute here. You claim that NP's aren't trying to force MD's out of medicine. Yet there is an AN thread advocating for all NP's in primary care. Because an MD is not necessary in primary...

5. Pulonary nodules--help!

   HBrnGirl replied to Pachinko's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   Is this real? And you wonder why I'm against independent practice. This is

6. The Decline of Physicians: Do we really need them anymore in Primary Care?

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

   I never said your statement was correct. I know the research well and I also know the research is very skewed. I put a great deal of thought into grad school before I made a final

7. The Decline of Physicians: Do we really need them anymore in Primary Care?

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

   I have already successfully completed PA but thanks for the advice! I fully understand the impact of my statements. My co workers are glad that I commented on this thread. We were actually talking...

8. Hate my FNP job

   HBrnGirl replied to FNPCA's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   Do you think some use NP's as cheap labor? Why do you think there is such a push for independent practice? Why pay an MD to do the same job? Because NP outcomes are equivalent right. NP, PA, MD it's...

9. Hate my FNP job

   HBrnGirl replied to FNPCA's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   Honestly, a 1-2 year residency is a very reasonable compromise. After that they can have independent practice. It's crazy to me this push for independent practice from day one. Because if you think...

10. The Decline of Physicians: Do we really need them anymore in Primary Care?

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

    Are you sure you want me to post the thread? You participated in that thread from 2015. I'd really hate to make you eat

11. The Decline of Physicians: Do we really need them anymore in Primary Care?

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

    And I just have to say, I love the thread where NP's whine about not getting paid as much as physicians. LOL well you have half the education. So it's only fair you get paid less! That's

12. The Decline of Physicians: Do we really need them anymore in Primary Care?

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

    I have already read the research on it. I just wanted you to research it more thoroughly. I never said NP's are not intelligent people. I just don't see how NP's can fully practice independently with...

13. The Decline of Physicians: Do we really need them anymore in Primary Care?

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

    Nailed it! I chose PA school over NP school for this reason. I prefer the traditional medical model. I don't feel online education and discussion boards are appropriate teaching methods for higher...

14. The Decline of Physicians: Do we really need them anymore in Primary Care?

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

    If NP outcomes are equivalent, why does it matter? NP, PA, MD it's all the same

15. The Decline of Physicians: Do we really need them anymore in Primary Care?

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

    There are definitely several threads on allnurses where NP's claim the education is
