New research shows nurse practitioners (NPs) delivering emergency care without physician supervision or collaboration increase lengths of stay by 11%. Dig into more of the findings and learn why the AMA is #FightingForDocs and working to #StopScopeCreep. spr.ly/60183yhhK
"Since physicians are the experts in medicine, we are the only ones qualified to say whose care measures up. NPPs need to stay in their lane, do what they were trained to do…and be proud of it."

Why are we allowing this?? I just don't understand.
NP that "only needs 80 hours" in an ER is looking for an "easy read" critical care book as she "knows nothing about inpatient critical care" - will be allowed to independently practice in 26+ states!

"I've seen firsthand that there are patient safety concerns that come with putting somebody without the appropriate training in the position to make life or death decisions."

Primary care delivered by NPs and PAs is more expensive than care delivered by physicians, one health system's data revealed. So they found a solution that works better for patients. #StopScopeCreep spr.ly/6010zvg1I

When the “resident” walks in to take care of you, you should not have to wonder if they went to medical school.
Patients need words to mean things.
Patients need clinical transparency.
Stop shuffling titles to confuse them.
Terrifying. At least the author had the guts to say "I don't feel safe doing this." Unfortunately there are so many NP program graduates who don't care and want to be a "provider" regardless of how poor the training. This just puts patients at risk.

"I have no idea how to be an NP. I don’t feel safe seeing patients. My program didn’t teach me anything. Will it shock you if I tell you not once in my NP program did I do ANY clinical skills?" "80% of NP’s I know went to online programs." reddit.com/r/Noctor/comments…

Most important point. Docs and NPPs make mistakes in medical care. Docs are held to the medical standard, NPPs are not because they are not expected to know medicine although they are allowed to practice it. Absurd, isn't it?

God help us. You’d think that the online DNP school would’ve at least covered the basics, like how to write a script. If they didn’t cover this, you know they sure as heck didn’t cover pharmacology.

Historically, terms such as "resident", "fellow", and "attending" have represented different levels attained as physicians.
However, NP programs have adopted similar terms to 1) purposefully obfuscate the public, or 2) to satisfy their own egos. This clarifies the difference:

Patients beware!
Your “BOARD CERTIFIED” NP may have only ever done a comprehensive physical exam TWICE in her life before coming in the exam room to see YOU
Shocking levels of undertraining & lack of rigorous exam requirements REVEALED!
WHY IS THIS NOT FRONT PAGE NEWS?
RT!!!
And yet, half our states allow them to practice independently. 🤦♀️

Great review: Common Problems with Midlevel "Research"
3)to practice evidence-based medicine(EBM), one better know the "evidence" is legit. This is a great summary from Reddit of a doc who discusses some of the common problems with NPP research and then challenges the claims by rebuttal. It isn't enough to reddit.com/r/Provider/wiki/i…
Why is this level of incompetence something to joke about?

@SenWarren,@SenSherrodBrown,@RepTimRyan, @HHSGov.... Politicians across the country are allowing nurses to practice medicine. This should be illegal. They have nursing licenses. Every patient deserves a physician. NPs don't belong in the ER! DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!
This is terrifying. Would you want someone with such little experience taking care of your children???
No medical education, no pediatrics residency, yet some legislators think that they are qualified to diagnose and treat pediatric patients. After watching docs examine 10 pts. in each age range listed, except newborns (5), they call themselves “pediatric” NPs.🧐🥴 #notqualified
