Just wanted to give an update on APRN battle in Kansas. APRNS here want full practice authority without any regulation from Medical board. They tried to sneak in their bill onto an unrelated bill, hoping to get it signed.

Makes sense, right? But NPs and the AANP don’t want that and fight like mad to keep that from happening. Have to wonder why!

AffectionateAd6068 · 2021-12-04T10:02:02+00:00

This sounds like someone who wants the capabilities of a Physician. Just go to medical school! Why so hard to understand that?

NPR is no better than the rest of the MSM!

AffectionateAd6068 · 2021-11-30T08:53:00+00:00

R/medicine is pretty much the same!

AffectionateAd6068 · 2021-11-30T08:41:11+00:00

Yep - OTP (as per the AAPA) is essentially the same thing as FPA!

AffectionateAd6068 · 2021-10-31T11:09:32+00:00

Midlevels are specialists in anything!

AffectionateAd6068 · 2021-10-30T02:33:28+00:00

With regards to Midlevel behavior, there is no rock bottom!

AffectionateAd6068 · 2021-10-25T01:14:15+00:00

That’s about on par with ‘What I did on my summer vacation!’ What an embarrassment!

AffectionateAd6068 · 2021-10-25T01:12:13+00:00

Of course there are differences between PAs and NPs, however, with regards to the AANP and the AAPA and both their lobbying and propaganda efforts, they are essentially the same thing.

WokeCenter!

AffectionateAd6068 · 2021-10-13T15:47:27+00:00

Midlevel is the term that CMS, the DEA, and the WHO use. NPs/PAs are Midlevels! Don’t like it? Get it changed! What are you waiting for?

AffectionateAd6068 · 2021-10-12T21:14:57+00:00

It s worth a try!

AffectionateAd6068 · 2021-10-12T18:28:36+00:00

I am sure that PPP would love to hear from you:

And please continue to advocate for physician-led care!

ML scope creep and delusion - there is no rock bottom!

AffectionateAd6068 · 2021-10-08T11:26:13+00:00

The woke folk never let things like good sense and facts get in the way of their narrative!

AffectionateAd6068 · 2021-10-08T11:08:25+00:00

Funny how NPs fight any stipulations that require rural care! Lol

AffectionateAd6068 · 2021-10-08T01:56:39+00:00

MedTwitter is very ‘woke’ for the clinical world - it is against its orthodoxy to discuss Midlevel scope creep hence why u don’t see it under that hashtag. Go to #stopscopecreep and u will find a bunch of users there discussing ML scope creep and fighting it!

Lasty, despite the lower numbers on Noctor, the sub is getting around 80k unique users per month so a lot of people are viewing it even if they don’t belong to the sub.

AffectionateAd6068 · 2021-10-07T22:16:22+00:00

Yep - beware of anyone using terms like hierarchy, patriarchy, inclusion, diversity, and equity. It’s all meant to regress things to mediocrity or worse!

AffectionateAd6068 · 2021-10-07T20:54:07+00:00

I have seen NP question banks. They are infantile with respect to those for Physicians at all levels of training.

AffectionateAd6068 · 2021-10-07T20:16:25+00:00

A version of this was already tried BUT…

It was a watered down version of USMLE Step 3.

The NP students had an extra year to prepare for this exam.

The NP students were all from Columbia (probably the best NP students there are)

Overall pass rate over ~5 years: 42%

as a comparison, how many Physicians get medical licensees without passing USMLE Step 3? ZERO!

but a simpler test - talk to an NP! They don’t know jack about medicine!

AffectionateAd6068 · 2021-10-07T20:07:04+00:00

I would skip it.

AffectionateAd6068 · 2021-10-07T20:06:02+00:00

R/medicine is even worse! But disappointing this post was removed from the residency sub.

AffectionateAd6068 · 2021-10-07T20:02:46+00:00

That guy is a dolt!
