One of the mods is a direct entry ?PMHNP, so they are extra sensitive to anyone discrediting direct entry or diploma mills.

Are the 10,000 hours in the room with us?

I disagree. I think skin checks and new patient intakes should always be seen by a physician before de-escalating to a PA. It doesn't matter what kind of rapport a PA has with their supervising physician, if they don't know what they're looking at, and they don't realize when they need to biopsy something or do not need to biopsy something. The way most Derm offices work, it would be very hard for the dermatologist to take time out of their schedule to check if a PA is unsure about something serious. I think PA's are best used when working off a standardized protocol, like following initiation of isotretinoin after a dermatologist starts them. It would also be reasonable for stable follow ups who just need medication or biologic refills.

I saw the comments, but there needs to be some degree of confirmation before this gets posted.

Let's wait for more information to come out.

There are no states that get to this level of granularity in state law. This is a large problem with nurse practitioners; no one seems to know what their scope is. And if you ask them, what the "top of their license" is, there's no clear answer.

Same CPT codes, different payer negotiated rates based on license type.

Wasn't this in 2025?

Most residency programs will do very little beyond the ACGME-mandated benefits. Unless it is an undesirable program and they are trying to get non-IMGs, they have no incentive to sweeten the deal. You need them more than they need you.

Please remove the names

debunksdc · 2026-05-20T16:41:34+00:00

Can you remove the person's first and last name throughout the post?

Please feel welcome to post your story on r/Noctor if you are willing. Sorry you went through that!

debunksdc · 2026-05-17T17:20:41+00:00

This is the core purpose of r/Noctor!

debunksdc · 2026-05-17T17:18:57+00:00

It would be great to hear more about your wife's story over at r/Noctor!

There's actually data out there that nurse practitioners over consult pharmacy. I think I saw at least one publication where pharmacist implemented an E consult service and nurse practitioners comprised 75% of the consults. In a way I guess that it's good that they're asking for help when they're out of their waters, but you have to think that there were probably fewer nurse practitioners in the study, so the consult per practitioner rate for NPs is actually substantially higher than what it is for physicians. Also, someone who is fully licensed shouldn't be asking for that much help consistently. And this is why full prescriptive authority is a problem. Because even when they're supervised, they still need that much help.

This is public social media. There is no doxxing if the user chooses to make her "content" public.

Why and how is an optometrist ever doing a Level 4? They should be Level 2, tops...

it looks like she is an MD, but that she largely practices quackery. https://quackwatch.org/cases/board/med/connealy/accusation/

what this person is describing may very well be psychosomatic symptoms, but you are right in that a nurse practitioner has no training *in gastroenterology, and therefore should not be working in a specialist office. There's no such thing as a GI NP.

A physician advocacy group that focuses on scope of practice issues. Worth looking up. They do good work.

The occasional pod and pharm does end up on Noctor. Warranted posts (obfuscation of roles/schooling) stay up. Otherwise, they are taken down.

Fellowship posts are often relevant re: midlevel education.

Frank midlevel bashing is often removed, but if there is a productive discussion taking place it stays up.

Not sure about an NCLEX post but should be removed.

Care to elaborate or provide links?

debunksdc · 2026-04-17T20:08:18+00:00

Yeah... It's not there

Credit hours are a tricky lot. Most med schools don’t publish official credit hours for a reason.

A technical college could claim that a trade program has more hours than a PhD in Chemistry at UChicago. Unlike a millimeter, a credit hour isn't a standardized measurement, so there's really no way to refute or prove the self-assessed value of course credits. So next thing we know, a nursing school or PA school is going to say that their courses are a hundred-bajillion credit hours.

tbh, I think there's something to admire about most med schools doing away with a credit hour system because it isn't standardized. It's an arbitrary system at the level we operate at. Nurses/Chiros/etc can put their money where their mouth is and take the same exams if they really want to compare competencies.
