Richby Nursing Student (no login)Just for the sake of asking the quesiton... Do you have a problem with NPs perscribing ect. Take a look at the difference in education between a (F)NP and a family doc. MD, undergraduate, not in medicine. Medical School, 4 years, GP res. 1-3 years. Usually pvt. pract. following. NP, undergraduate in nursing (BSN), 3 years hospital based experience as a RN (ICU, ER, OR, PICU, Critical Care are the requirements.. one of them), 2-3 years practitioner school, usually 12-24 mo. internship. I believe that NPs are completely capable of performing everything and anything a family doc does. Where do you think they learned most of his/her clinical education, from other MDs? yeah right. But I would love to hear your opinions ect... I do not agree with PhDs having Rx authority at all (psychologists) I think that ODs can Rx (oral) for infections but no oral pain meds, just topicals. DCs? NEVER! It is not their philosophy although you know some would love to Rx. MD,DO,DDS,DPM,CRNA,NP, PA-C, are the only qualified personnel to order Rx. Agreed? Opinions welcome. from IP address 65.100.215.207 Goto Forum Home |
