"we have both worked very hard to get here"

[DreamWeaver1988]

51 people couldn't get into medical school

@wheresmynurse  yeah but thats because you dont get sued over a snotty nose, your scope of practice (though i am thankfull you keep it with that.) Tell me, how does a person with less education, less intelligence and less experience becomes better than a real doctor, a med school graduate, a physician?

We are not a third world country, we pay enough so give us real Doctors not Nocters with "doctorate of nurse pratice" BS title.

LOL! Whoever made this is an idiot.

This is ridiculous and no physician of any worth would think this is a great video,No advance practice nurse would participate in this stupid conversation. Please consider putting up an alternative that smack of some semblance or reality. It is so off base its hard to be offended but if idiots were to stumble on this information, they may think this is true, Sorry you are so sad and m= miserable that you are a hater.Still, Be well.

No Doctorate of Nursing would respond like this. Remove this video.

If you want to see something "special" look up the rates of malpractice for MDs vs NP vs PA etc. . . Over the 17 year study period, there was one malpractice payment for every 32.5 PAs / Midlevel while there was one for every 2.7 physicians. That is, the composite payment rate for physicians was twelve times that of PAs over the full study period.

All physicians are doctors, but not all doctors are physicians. Why is that so hard to accept/understand, MDs/DOs?

[acrmd]

LOL. So f***kin true.

@limited1149 "Do you want a "Physician" that got an online degree from a school in Nigeria?"

In order to become a practicing physician in the US, you must have a valid degree and pass four separate exams, which test basic science knowledge, clinical management, and interviewing skills. Then, you can apply for residency, and may get accepted. You cannot practice without completing at least one year of residency. No state will allow you a license. So I call BS on all your arguments.

Only a pathetic, insecure twit of a physician would take the time to contrive such a piece of "patutty dung" (look that up) as this video. Get a life dude! You may want to check your own pulse...clearly something is absent.....heart, brain......courage......laugha­ble...it actually made me laugh.

I guess that Physician's like this will never figure out that the term Doctor does not equal Physician.

[buckhippo]

It's a matter of confusion people. A "doctorate" and a "Medical Degree" and not the same. It misleads the patient in a medical setting to refer to a DNP as "Dr. Smith" unless they clarify to the patient that they are in fact a nurse and not being treated by what one would consider a physician (ie. doctor). No one cares if doctorate holders refer to themselves as "Dr." but in a healthcare setting it has a totally different connotation. And I would never see a DNP when I can see a MD. DNP isn't MD
