  • "UNDER the supervision of the physician"???

    Nurses and Physicians work hand in hand/side by side.!!

    Nurse's don't work for the Physician, Nurses work for the patient..

  • What this man stated is incorrect. If you try to read International Council of Nurses' definition of a Nurse Practitioner, wherein its says that NPs are functioning AUTONOMOUSLY/Indepently. Meaning, NPs can work with their own.

  • He means they cant own their own practice, they can work alone though. When you work under someone he means you work in someone else s practice.

  • Nocters are NOT a solution. If i pay a fortune in health insurance i want a medical school graduate and not a wannabe doctor nurse.

  • @mosaicism105 And that is fucking scary!!! These morons think they know as much or more than a doctor. HA. fucking idiots.

  • STAY AWAY FROM SOMEONE THAT WANTS TO PRACTICE MEDICINE BUT DIDN'T GO TO MEDICAL SCHOOL!!!!

  • NP can't work on their own in CA

  • @num1jmca Yeah! I need a GPA of 3.25 for the BSN degree in order to enter to the Nurse practitioner program. I haven't started yet... I will start in 2012, the end of the world. lol
