One went through a full nursing program, and spent several years as a nurse while getting their masters and becoming an NP. The other followed a program a bit like what you mentioned. He was an EMT but stepped away from that and managed to go through a program that got him his RN and NP at the same time. The thing is, even though they are both technically nurse practitioners, the guy who has the actual nursing experience basically has his pick of whatever job he wants. The guy who hasn't actually had a lot of clinical and patient-facing time as a nurse (despite having been an EMT) can't get hired anywhere as a nurse practitioner. Every clinic looks at his resume and wants him to have at least a couple of years of working nursing experience. He spent the extra money to get his NP early but is basically in the same spot as a newly-minted RN. So while the accreditation may appear to be too accelerated, in practice clinics and hospitals aren't chomping at the bit to just hire anyone for nurse practitioner roles.

maybe this is atypical but neither i nor anyone i know has had worse experiences or outcomes with nps or even pas than mds so i really don’t mind the rising frequency of them. the lack of a residency-like requirement for them is lame though

mystes posted:nps seem to have plenty of practical knowledge and it feels like actual mds just google your symptoms nowadays anyway in medicine there is a concept called “a zebra” from a now very old expression that’s something like “when you hear hoofs behind you don’t expect a zebra” the thing is in medicine on very rare occasion it is a zebra. the ridiculous depth and hours of medical school followed by the illegally long hours of residency had their basis in actually seeing some crazy off the wall stuff and diagnosing it accurately (also cocaine abuse and eating your young as a profession but I digress). RNs get no experience with any of this and get as little as a single 3 semester hour course in each of anatomy, pharmacology and pathology in the conversion from BSN to DNP which should be terrifying. but some NPs have restricted scopes of practice and have significant training you may say. yup, however when you see NP after the name you have no idea if they actually have it and those with the minimum of training are allowed to run ERs by themselves.

mystes posted:In theory this makes sense but in reality it kind of seems like a lot of times what doctors learn during residency is basically the opposite, namely to disregard the possibility of uncommon stuff, and then patients who have rare conditions have extreme difficulty getting experienced doctors to correctly diagnose them? the solution to physicians being double+booked every 15 minutes to maximize profit so they are pressured to never actually do a work up is not to just give up, discard the rare conditions and treat 1% the same as the other 99% because it’s cheaper and you’ll basically never have to pay out on a “delayed diagnosis” malpractice suit

a biostatician once told me this: old doctors will see uncommon things and interpret them as common things (a rare exotic parasite being diagnosed as stomach flu). new doctors will see common things and interpret them as uncommon things (a stomach flue diagnosed as an exceedingly rare tropical disease). its because the old ones have seen a lot of patients, and 99% of them are for common things. the new doctors haven't seen enough patients to know this yet, so they look for something that most perfectly fits the symptoms, rather than the most statistically likely problem within the bounds of the symptoms and possible presentations. he wasnt quite certain yet which of the two was worse, because both result in patients not getting the right treatment. as someone with a problem that has a few doctors stumped (as has been the case for over six months), id say i prefer it when a younger doctor sees my problem as a puzzle worth solving, rather than the old doctor who just says 'take a painkiller and see if it goes away on its own'

it’s weird, i don’t see many nps or pas around here, except in psychiatry where they probably make up a majority. it seems like half the doctors in a given discipline are booked halfway to next year and the other half have an opening two days from now and i can never figure out why.

A big cause for this is how the AMA was worried that there would be a glut of doctors the same way there was a glut of lawyers, and so they lobbied to create the shortage that we have today. quote:Recently, Derek Thompson pointed out in the Atlantic that the U.S. has adopted myriad policies that limit the supply of doctors despite the fact that there aren’t enough. And the maldistribution of physicians — with far too few pursuing primary care or working in rural areas — is arguably an even bigger problem. Here's the Atlantic piece that is mentioned there, though it's behind a paywall. https://twitter.com/DKThomp/status/1493232914204606473?s=20

i love my np. shes no bullshit and Very Good at advocating for me. i dont bother her with petty bullshit and she worked real hard to get me into behavioral health services as soon as i was onboard. my psychiatrist slaps too and is happy to call around to places so i can get my adderall. ive been surfing providers forever before this. ill take an np any day over an md. i dont have an extensive medical background but my mom was an ob/gyn and i used to be an emt so im better than most. i had a string of gp md’s who would ignore the poo poo out of what i said and it annoys the poo poo out of me because im not some self diagnosed idiot. i have several binders full of my medical history. i have a very acute awareness of how hosed i am in the head and it sucked to have doctors be condescending and lovely to me. my new bae tho. im goin to the neurologist, the dermatologist, and nutritionist this month and all it took was “hi i keep getting recurring bumps on my forearm can i get a dermatologist referral? do you wanna see some gross close up photos??” “send them along and ill put them in your referral packet” and it took two days to book.

It can be frustrating when my company's leadership is quick to hop on board various tech hype trains, but at least they were smart enough to realize the LLM hype was overblown and sent out a company-wide email a little while back specifically banning any of us from using any generative services for anything work-related.
