I know it’s hard but let’s be fair. All RNs have clinical training. Then all NPs get more. You may not feel it’s as structured as you like but they do.
PAs get from 11-15 months of full time (not 8 hours a day) rotations and extra clinical hours in their didactic year in school. I was taught to suture my first week in PA school. Go to class all day, and then to the ER till 9 pm. By the time we graduated we were pretty damn good. Was an Air Force medic before. Was that clinical training? And many PAs were DTs, EMTs, pharmacists, and other professions. Our rotations were 80 hours a week. We pulled call with a resident as a student. It was not where one just went to class (no slight on any other profession).. Please be fair. We also learn much on the job, as many others do. Is that factored in?
Training and Education Matters.
I bet that 500 hours counts towards each one meaning you don’t need a thousand hours total but just 500 minimum for each degree or each alphabet soup and that’s the total clinical hours for even the most advanced nurse practitioner alphabet soup is still 500. Today’s nurse practitioners are yesterday’s registered nurses just trying to cash in. There is no qualifications or aptitude to go from being a registered nurse to a nurse practitioner either in intelligence, clinical acumen, clinical experience, or advanced training. Many of the courses they get are just political rather than clinical. I am going to be a cranky old man that refuses to be treated by nurse practitioners. I’m already a cranky old man that finds most of my referrals from nurse practitioners are inappropriate.
And did you happen to notice that after that 1,528 hours, you can test to become an apprentice barber who still needs to work under supervision of a licensed barber for a full year before they can test to become a licensed barber?!?! That’s probably another 1900-2000 hours of supervised training!
Medicine is pathetic…..
I am reminded of two things. An instructor of mine in medicine said, “the more letters after another doctor’s name, the more suspicious I am of that physician’s actual qualifications”–seems to apply to other providers as well, in my opinion. And it was some 19th century businessman, not plagued by political correctness, who said, “there is a sucker born every minute”. With that said, I think I will go drive in the country side and find all these nurses who are practicing in rural America.
