Most US offices I've been too will tell you beforehand that you're seeing an APRN/DNP instead of an MD and ask if that's okay. Besides, I haven't seen much evidence that APRNs provide worse quality care. More hours in training doesn't necessarily mean better medical care. If you ask me, increasing the scope of what nurses can do is one of the best things the US can do to fix our Healthcare system.
- yhoneycomb 6y agoIn addition to the lack of any adequate training, many nurse practitioner schools have 100% admittance rates. The US also stands alone in how much autonomy it grants advanced practice nurses. It is no coincidence in my mind that this is at least partially to blame for the decreased life expectancy compared to other developed nations.
