Yes it really sucks, because an FNP cured an ailment that MD’s failed me at. I saw 2 MD’s and 3 DO’s, almost became suicidal over the pain and anguish, until a 74 yr old FNP cured me, and with Non-Controlled Medication, and just off the labs and radiology, THAT HAD ALREADY BEEN DONE!!!! She saved my life, my income, my dignity, my hope, my sanity, and I owe EVERYTHING to her saving “me.”

MD at 0:40 burns NP. NP at 0:44 destroyed MDs existence. hahahaha (Good question NP)

[@SuperHogwart]

excellent and informative video. Love the camaraderie between these two. As a FNP i have a tremendously amount of respect for this resident doctor for his humility

[@Justintientran]

lol. "I have no telemares; I have frayed shoelaces." Loved that.

[@anjeliquecollins3440]

I genuinely loved this video. They both worked so hard for their title, you go guys! so motivating!!! student loans are killer though.

[@xoxowendy60]

These are so very great answers

[@stephlyndsey3932]

Where I live in Florida you can do a BSN to DNP program with no experience just an active license. With that said universities are now switching to DNP as requirement instead of MSN. Also NPs can now practice independently as of this year with 3,000 hours of floor experience. Overall I think being an NP is the better option because you can prescribe and practice independently for approximately 6 years of school (less school debt than medical school!!!)

[@jaimes3337]

What? NPs dont get paid equally because their education is significantly shorter.

[@yanyanwang7094]

Jaime S unfortunately that’s true

[@arieldevinci6118]

They do the same job, but med school is more competitive and NP education is way shorter than MD. I bet there’s some NP’s that get payed the same as physicians but have to work harder.

[@DM-oj8yp]

@@arieldevinci6118 they do NOT do the same job.

[@arieldevinci6118]

Bop Bop how so?

[@DM-oj8yp]

@@arieldevinci6118 literally the only similarity is writing prescriptions. Can you tell me how the job is the same? Much more differences than similarities.

[@Liam_29_T]

I truly love the mutual respect that they give to one another

[@beachblondenurse1146]

This was very informative to watch, thanks for the video!!

[@Boardvitals]

thanks for watching!

[@patriciawarmoth661]

I don't think think that I should be charged the same doctor's fee, if I am seen by an NP...sorry

[@AZ-wg3eg]

If NPs were willing to work 60-70 hours a weeks they could close their financial gap. NPs prioritize 36-40 hour work weeks... Attendings work about 60-80hours a week.

[@SuperHogwart]

i’m a fnp in private practice earning more than most family md’s. All relative.

[@Aureilius2112]

He says patients "Demote" female doctors to less than what they are by mistaking them for nurses? Does that mean you think being a nurse is a demotion from being a doctor? Nurses literally do all of the patient care and can procedurally walk circles around doctors. Doctors are not the bosses or superiors to nurses, they are colleagues.

[@AZ-wg3eg]

I'm not even gunna touch this. Lol

[@drawncept8391]

Hahaha he said, "..and DMTs.."

[@yanyanwang7094]

DNT

[@Dee-oq5ms]

NPs make about 100k how can you not afford to pay off student loans? It is very possible to pay off loans.

[@AggiBlessed]

Lady don’t forget taxes. 100k NP salary is not much because it is about 65k after taxes so not much once you factor in essential bills.

[@iMatti00]

This Mike Natter is a good looking guy. 😊😍💋
