[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am an emergency physician and it is astounding how many NP's send patients for non-emergencies and vice versa, failure to recognize one. One of our most recent cases involved a patient whose EKG clearly showed a heart attack the day prior, but was told it looked okay. The majority of our new grad nurses in the ED are all planning on applying for online degrees and have about 4 months of clinical training under their belt. Pretty frightening.[/quote] This is exactly why I will never to go one. I have had experiences with them recently with my parents and they just don't have enough education, training and experience to actually be effective for anything more than minor issues. To try to pass them off on the rest of us rather than giving access to actual MDs is a disservice to all of us. Healthcare is broken and more NPs is not the answer.[/quote]
