NPs sue to use "Doctor" title

George has illustrated exactly why we have specialties. My GP is a highly skilled physician, but he doesn’t interpret imaging of any sort. This NP stuff is nuts.

Read post #31 - the doc says he relies on the expert for interpretation.
I can spot a pneumothorax as well as
anyonemost docs. But, guaranteed, I'll miss the subtleties. And missing subtleties is what frequently kills people. -
I’m sorry, but nursing is starting to come across as very similar to teaching. Yes, there are dedicated professionals out there that truly make a great and positive difference in patients/students care. There are also a great majority that are clock punchers. That want the social approbation that goes with their chosen career but don’t truly have the welfare of those in their care at the center of their career. In and amongst that group is a minority that Carrie’s power. One that wants to elevate their standing. That wants an undue amount of credit and irresponsible levels of responsibility without the appropriate study, work, and accreditation necessary. They also want to bury anybody in their path. These are the Doctors of Nursing (or Education, for that matter) that insist upon being called Doctor. They push for greater responsibility beyond their capacity or what is appropriate. It’s very similar…
Reading a couple of nursing forums where the CRNA’s rail against CAA programs and positions has been quite enlightening.

Nursing has a very effective lobby.

The teaching profession has been feeding off the narrative that they're underpaid heroes for as long as I've been alive. Any hero narrative will end up biting you as the beneficiaries take it for granted, and then want more, in a perpetual cycle. Similar to oppression narratives. Maybe there's a similar narrative thing going on with nursing.
Education is extremely important.

The sad thing is that the bill might very well pass as it can be seen as a way of lowering the cost of medical care.

Hmmm … I think I see a pattern:
- Soldiers as heroes … the military has problem recruiting enough cadets.
- Police as heroes … the police has problem recruiting enough cadets.
- Nurses as heroes … we have nurse shortage.
- Teachers as heroes … we have teacher shortage.

The police and soldier as hero narratives have long since passed. Obviously the mainstream narrative for police these days is villain. Soldier is still respected somewhat.
