Currently a nursing student, hope I become an NP soon! I love the diversity that was shown in patient population :) as a Long Island City resident, the diversity was accurate!

[@jakedonald6467]

Frustration is a very positive sign. It means that the solution to your problem is within range, but what you're currently doing isn't working, and you need to change your approach in order to achieve your goal.

What specialty of NP are you practising? I am interested in diagnosing and prescribing. What specialty is that, please?

[@ReviewwithDrew]

She was a general (family practice) NP. If you want to be diagnosing and prescribing for mental health disorders exclusively do Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP)

[@1057shelley]

NPs take care of the mundane or less critical cases and work with the Drs in assessing and treatment. She did right with the chest pain patient.

[@brucenome989]

She is good 👍 my primary cardiologist is a nurse practitioner

[@mcmlxii4419]

I go to 2 nurse practitioners and I really like them.

[@AndoMD]

Cardiology NP’s cannot work independently so you might be confused as to who your “Primary Cardiologist” is.

[@anastasia1522]

@@AndoMD Maybe his cardiology NP is the one assessing, diagnosing him and prescribing the medication, but sometimes consults with an MD. That wouldn't make the MD his primary cardiologist though.

[@imthrillz5255]

I would not have a nurse practitioner be my “primary cardiologist”, whatever that means, hopefully they don’t miss anything and you suffer for it.

"literally less educated than regular nurses" with a masters degree and an NP licence? ☠

[@JamesGoyard28]

That’s one billion percent impossible all NP have at “minimum” a masters degree. to become an rn you need either an associates nursing degree (hospitals rarely hire) or a bachelors in nursing. How could you lie like this.

[@tylers4615]

@@JamesGoyard28 Nurse Practationers require at minimum a Masters or Doctorate in Nursing Practice with a specalization in clinical practice, ADN is only accepted in the states. In Canada you MUST have a BSN to be a RN, ADNs are equivalent to LPNs here. Perhaps your having issues in your system, but it's working amazing for us. Just recently NPs have been given full practice authority for family medicine, bridging the gaps in our healthcare system and ensuring everyone has access not only a primary care provider but an entire healthcare team, that without a NP or Physician wouldn't exist.

[@imthrillz5255]

2023: some new 22 year old just completes their bachelors in nursing in the spring, they then apply for an NP program later that fall. Due to degree mill programs they don’t have trouble getting in because its not competitive. They then complete a 2 year ~45 credit hour program ONLINE and become a healthcare provider (NP). Congratulations, your “healthcare provider” is a 24 year old nurse that took some extra classes online and got 500 hours of clinical rotation exposure at the sites of their choosing because their programs don’t have affiliations with sites. Compare that to a physician; 4 years bachelors, taking the MCAT and passing the competitiveness of being accepted to medical school, 4 years medical school, where each semester is around 35 credit hours, 3-7 years of residency or specialty training, and an optional 1-2 years of fellowship or subspecialty training. In the end they have around 21,000 hours of healthcare exposure. NP education is a joke and the data proves they provide worse care for patients.

[@hazelgithumbi3709]

U know they have to work in Icu for 2 years right before they can become a NP ? With really sick pts. Also since you clearly aren’t in the medical field, I’ll inform you that nurses are the ones that deal with pts throughout the day and inform MDS when an action should be taken. Sometimes new MD’s will even ask a nurse for recommendations. They are highly knowledgeable and valuable to healthcare.

[@imthrillz5255]

@@hazelgithumbi3709 I do work in the medical field, which is why i know. And no, some NP programs just ask for your degree and RN license (hence degree mill). Yes, RNs are valuable if they stay in their lane and do what they’re taught to do, which is monitor patients. That is their expertise, not being the physician and coming up with the patient care plan, or doing the surgery in the OR.

[@imthrillz5255]

@@IEgOImkAwx With how money hungry most hospital systems and small clinics are becoming this is starting to be more prevalent, do you even work in healthcare, or are you that oblivious?

[@ccd5942]

@@hazelgithumbi3709 you don’t have to have icu experience. You don’t even have to have experience as a nurse. I know some NPs that just have rehab experience , or nursing home experience, or medsurg experience, or OR circulator experience and get to go to NP school. My preceptor was a NP and she only did home health as a RN. NPs are good at their job they get the job done . With residencies and further training they can be very valuable to the health care system .

[@SuperTertify]

RN starting medschool in the fall here. Was curious as to where in medicine you work? While I agree that statistics show that initial graduating NPs provide suboptimal care, research also shows as they gain experience, the difference in care is minimal. With the shortages of MD's, how do you propose the issue of providing care is solved if you don't implement NPs to provide care?

[@BombasticKesha9999]

What the fuck is with the NP hate ☠

[@manojcherian3914]
