LKPAC Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 If only we had a national organization that was out there promoting for us and working to get us publicity like this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cideous Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 5 years. Maybe less. No name change, no national leadership making bold changes and the death rattle will start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PACali Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Most of NP I know don't want to do a residency. The reason why NP is attractive to some RNs is because of the online programs and that is why they will not do a residency. Now, I know a lot of PA students would like to pursue a residency/fellowship, even pre-pa students are talking that. I wish this article is about PA not NP, simply because there are more of residency trained PAs out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidwesternTexan Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 The article said ' In a regular clinical appointment, "I would have been given 20 minutes with him, and would have been without the support or knowledge of how to treat pain or Type 1 diabetes," she says." How is that? I thought they were already an NP? NO knowledge, or support to treat DM1, or pain? What? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
