[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dear OP, I think advocating that nurses has 2+ years of bedside experience in the area of the proposed NP specialty (or interchangeably ICU or ER), and continue working bedside while studying, are solid.

We do need to get away from the idea that an MD is needed to do basic primary care, gyn care, or low risk specialty care.  It is total overkill.  While folks doing it around the world are called "doctors", their training is completely compatible with the NP training in the States.

This is the arrogance which, along with corporate greed, has in less than a generation reduced the quality of medical care in parts of the U.S. to below developing nation levels. [/quote]

Sadly, third world on average has better health outcomes than USA for many primary care issues.  Specifically, our pregnancy outcomes are nearly as bad as Afghanistan.    The absolute majority of pregnancies in the USA are managed by Obgyns.
