Can you work in an urgent care without ER or ICU experience? | Advice for the new nurse practitioner

[@rajgabbynatt5915]

You are so awesome thank you! I graduated a few months ago. Doing board prep right now. I been a Nicu nurse for years. I am taking boards by the end of this month for FNP.

I think when people have never worked ER, they don't realize how different it is. I didn't until I was doing it.

The people hurt by the lack of training of NPs will be minorities and people in poverty. Even the "superior" NP programs produce "providers" with a fraction of the training of physicians (average 6%). If you want to practice medicine, go get an MD/DO. Patients need to advocate for themselves and get the care they deserve.

[@LD-ed2jv]

You think there are aren’t any MDs or DOs who skip on the proper treatment they give to patients because of their titles? That happens across the board in healthcare, but we can not hold only one specific field of healthcare workers responsible for that! Just something for you to think about!😇

[@eib275]

Because of their titles? What are you even talking about? I'm talking about a false equivalence that is drawn between NPs and doctors. They are not qualified to practice medicine. I am stating the differences between the qualifications. If you are comfortable with someone being your "DOCTOR" with 6% of the training of a doctor....That's on you.@@LD-ed2jv

[@mixedandmindful7473]

NPs are considered “mid level” providers and the majority of NPs have the same amount of schooling (or more) as PAs with more patient experience due to the requirement of full-time nursing experience before starting NP programs. Mid level providers are not independent of a MD/DO, you just may not see them every time you go in as they are with less stable patients. Mistakes can happen whether you’re a NP, PA, or MD. A title doesn’t reflect competency just credentials. I’m not a provider, but I’ve seen incompetence from each of these titles since becoming a RN. Generalizing that NPs “hurt” their patients by “practicing medicine” is dangerous & really not indicative of what their role is as a mid level provider.

[@eib275]

I am also an RN and while they do have a role, they should not be practicing in the capacity that they are. Anyone claiming the system we have with mid-levels is okay is not informed or not honest. @@mixedandmindful7473
