Of course, they are well educated. They are the future of primary care medicine. The number of primary care physicians is ridiculously low, and so, someone is going to have to take up the slack. More than likely it will be nurse practitioners and physician assistants.

As soon as someone from an agency, or collective insurance programme, has to come to your house to give you health care.
It is not unwise to ask yourself some things... Is it really necessary that I recieve this.... Post operative patients, might have problems with bending down, getting dressed or, need to have bedrest. and are in need of care.... When in relationships a partner falls ill, usually spouse, takes care, assisted by children or other family.... When you are on your own the choice doesn't come your way, but you should look at it objectively, which also means on the financial side... How much does Your country pay for you, do you have to be insured for home care. How much money you need to pay towards the nursing bill. Wether you want a stranger in the house, going through your cupboards, kitchen and your bedroom is up to you. Are you sick enough at all to warrant such a decision? .... Anyhow... A heartfelt Get Well Soon. and I really mean that, I am rarely ill., used to sport so I'm quite lucky in the health . I also hope your illness is not too severe... Oh jah, before I forget... Decide if you have trust or not for the nurse insurance or your government.... Saves a lot of hassle and annoyance, when your nurse turn out a cheat, wouldn't you say.

Definitely. I credit a nurse practitioner with saving my life. She correctly diagnosed cervical cancer that a doctor had previously missed, and found it in time for me to make a complete recovery.
Of course, you can't generalize... but every experience I have had with a nurse practitioner has shown them to be competent, caring, and far more sensitive to the holistic needs of the patient than most doctors.

No doubt about it. I've seen a physician's assistant for the last few years and she is the only medical care provider who ever diagnosed my allergies and referred me to a physical therapist to work on some lifelong structural problems. NPs work with a doctor just llike physician assistants do. Sad to say my PA has retired, but I'll be seeing a nurse practitioner that I've heard is as good as my PA was. I was terribly unhappy with the quality of medical care I was getting from physicians and am really impressed with the quality of care a PA and NP do provide.

Sure, they've done extra studying, and they consult with a physician. I received excellent care from a nurse practitioner for years.

You may receive "care" from a nurse practitioner. However "care" of what, "care" of who? What kind of "care" are you seeking? Are you looking for health "care"? Remember health care workers are only there for one reason, to get you into the drug/pharmaceutical industry as a consumer. The nurse practitioners role is to hook you on the drugs/the meds. The nurse practitioner's role is to pimp drugs. Health "care", start poping pills baby!

My college has a nurse practitioner and a doctor, and most of the time when I went in to see someone when I was sick, she (the practitioner) would see me. And she was really good. In fact, I told her she should be a doctor instead of just a practioner. She was better than the doctor was. He wasn't anywhere as thorough (sp) as she was (of course I'm not saying that of all doctors at all).

ABSOLUTELY!! My fave at the pediatricians is a nurse practitioner! AND my old doctors office, I opted for their NP for my OB/GYN care. They are both great women and if they do come across something they want a second opinion on there is usually a doc close by!

Yes, they have two or three years more education than a nurse, and just about do everything a doctor can do, minus the arrogance so you would actually get better care than from a doctor

do no longer deliver them to courtroom. basically ***** relating to the nurse to the well-being realtions/branch on your state or u . s .. confident she wouldn't have suggested some thing which she replaced into incorrect approximately. have you ever even long gone to the docs workplace and asked to work out him in man or woman. in case you particularly have suffered extreme loss because of the fact of those bimbo nurses then consult with a solicitor. perhaps your well-being care provider hasnt even been counseled you're being blocked from speaking with him. perhaps the nurses have been informed some thing else which the nurse suggested. by using regulation a physician can not refuse to work out you basically because of the fact a nurse claimed without info you drove a vehicle below heavy impact of a etc.....................

Yes,very good idea that I must adore.Because any wrongdoing by the patient,the specialist in Nursing must understand at once and raises the issue to the Doctor of how to properly manage.
