There's no reason to expect them to be on your side in all this. Unless they would do it for the pure fun of further antagonizing physicians. 

I mean at least that's a way to frame it that would have a chance to be well received by the nursing union.

MCP's in my world (after passing the PANRE) would maintain MCP certification through yearly CME like NP's.  NO MORE PANCE AND NO MORE NCCPA.

 

I seriously wonder what the process is to secure the name for a future profession.

Start a non-profit and trademark it.

All these pleas from experienced PAs requesting for no supervision and better practice environment with improved professional title all seem to fall on deaf ears. NPs are celebrating seeing us fractionated with a poor leadership  while they are united under a STRONG leadership

I agree with the first half of your observation with the exception of wanting no supervision. As an experienced PA, I know the limitations of some of my colleagues and lack of supervision can be a goal after five to seven years of practice which is similar to a residency. I feel their is a very decreased application of physical exam skills being practiced in all of the medical professions, from physicians, residents, medical school students as well as PAs and NPs. As a seventy year old I am both concerned and fightened as I feel that I came from the golden stage of medicine having practiced for forty six years and I consider the present , to be the bronze stage. I would not say their leadership is stronger but legislatively they accomplish much more because numbers and money equal power.
