Hope2PA Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 If this passes, it is yet another boon for NPs, and another mail in the PA coffin. Has AAPA even tried to include PA's? If not, WHY? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator ventana Posted November 12, 2022 Moderator Share Posted November 12, 2022 wow that is scary They are asking to perform ALL visits in LTC sorry but an NP < 5 years out should not be managing patients fully independent in this setting otherwise we should be on this as well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photograph51 Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I just left telephone messages for the bill's sponsors and for my own congressperson to include PA's in this legislation. I encourage everyone else to do this, as well. Now I am going to send a message to my LinkedIn contacts.

Photograph51 Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 After posting a message on LinkedIn about this matter, I read through my LinkedIn feed and saw this: American Academy of Physician Associates48,008 followers21h • 21 hours ago Wishing a wonderful #NPweek to our NP colleagues. We value working with you to expand patient access to high-quality care. #teamwork American Association of Nurse Practitioners So, if anyone is wondering why the AAPA hasn't had time to advocate for PA's on the ICAN bill, you now know: it's because they are too busy sucking up to NP's. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately yo many of them appear to not feel these issues are important. Young PAs struggling to get jobs or who are turned down because only NPs due to decreased paperwork and regulations, should sue everyone in leadership who have hindered progress by lack of action. Those in the position to promote the future of profession and have not done everything possible or out right hindered PAs from keeping up with NP for job opportunities should be sued. As photograph 51 said, AAPA is to busy playing nice with physicians, and NPs, and not busy enough getting PAs listed on such bills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UGoLong Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 I think I just read something about AAPA and AANP working together to get us both on some new bill. I'm a realist but cooperation is not a bad thing, as long as there is something in it for both groups. Cooperate where you can and compete where you can't.
