Sorry you feel that way re NP’s. I think that some of best practitioners are NP’s. I won’t bore folks with the examples but will comment that I have been an RN since 1966…am Master’s prepared…taught for 20 years and practiced in NY, Chicago, Michigan and for past decades in Wisconsin. Worked in Psych, Public Heath, Med Surg,Gynecology, private duty, nursing homes, home health, school nursing,occupational health,burn units,doctor’s offices in allergy and industrial settings, and Hospice
was on Wisconsin Nursing Exam Council for 8 years.
Needless to say, I am very critical re who is providing my…and family’s …care.
I …and family…and friends go to NP’s and are getting highest level of care.

tdrell, I am not familiar with post on NP's.

But want to pass on to you I am a patient at Mayo Jacksonville since 2006. I see a lot of NP and Advanced NP. I have a great dermatologist APN and same for ENT APN. And also at EP.

What I see is any question or concern they get concurrence with MD of that section.

I am very happy with my APCN I am not sure of the correct name but is something like Advanced Practice Care Nurse which means went through an additional training and can also prescribe medications. Mine are fantastic. I know in ENT almost all the MDs are surgeons and thus doing surgeries and very limited patients.
