“Research like this only causes divide among the healthcare team. It promotes the idea that physicians are superior but that is not true. We ArE ThE SaME”
- Karen DNP, DTF, WTF, one psych class, NCTR

How dare you say our 3% training isn’t equivalent to that of a Physician’s?

Still think the NP and PA stats should be reversed.
52
NPs do a good job of marketing themselves, and I think the "assistant" part of the PA title does a lot more "harm" for them in terms of optics than people give credit for. People view NPs as the people who were nurses for a long time and went on to do more, PAs are just one of the medical assistants. Just basing this off of some of the discussions I've heard laypersons have, obviously varies by population.

Agreed

I have a feeling 9% of survey takers were NPs

Who ever says “hmmmmm, I would rather the person not trained in emergency medicine have my life in their hands”?

That's good, but what isn't so good is only about half of patients said the difference between an NP/PA is amount of training. See the last few slides on the PowerPoint in the article.
14
People vastly overestimate the amount of training nurses get and underestimate the amount of training physicians get
8
This is more of a lack of public awareness than anything else. People know that medical school, PA school and nursing is hard. They aren’t aware of the difference in the level of difficulties.
6
Wouldn’t even say nursing school is hard lol

You’re right. I was accepted to my state uni’s BSN program but decided last minute I’d rather go to med school/residency for the next 8-12 years than have to put up with that bullshit. I only mean that a nursing degree is more difficult than say a business degree but nowhere near as difficult as engineering or chemistry degrees, despite what most nurses will tell you. Most of the time the so-called difficulty stems from the sheer number of pointless bullshit assignments, nursing care plans for example, which arent used anywhere but nursing homes.

Well, 100% of Hospital Admins and CEO prefer NP or PA to see you at their hospital!
10
I've asked this question a few times to others before: if something serious ever happened to a family member of yours, who would you trust to care for them in that moment?
5
Obviously the nurse who took online courses. Karen DNP, MSNBC, HGTV makes me feel heard
9
Pfft. Well obviously she isn’t very knowledgeable. All NPs have more than just those certifications! She must of missed the online classwork needed to get certified in ABC, CNN, TNT, and MTV. Step your game up, Karen.
4
obviously bro cause there's no difference between np and doctors and also np are better cause heart of nurse brain of a doctor /s

I immediately played devil’s advocate in my head with the wording of the questions. But after reading them turns out they’re very straightforward and don’t seem biased. There’s really no way for the midlevel societies to weasel their way out of this one.
5
Proof that the midlevel problem is a patient autonomy problem more than anything else
4
Duhhhh
3
Well, of course patients prefer the highest possible level of care. And they should. Midlevels have their place, but I do not think it should be as the head of any complex procedure or emergency.

This is what is happening:

The 14% of people that voted for midlevels are truly delusional and/or are midlevels themselves or have a relative/spouse that’s a low level “provider”

And need to have their heads’ examined!
By an NP!
