I have no problem with PA's or NP's........ I just have a problem when one allows the patient/client to believe they are indeed a physician. In a couple instances personally, as an RN, I have seen an NP or PA that I felt actually knew more than the physician they were affiliated with.
It’s good that you don’t....have an issue with PA or NP. Because that’s the way it’s trending in healthcare. I’m ok with it as I feel similar or better about their qualifications, demeanor and decision making. I know you already know this but glad to see their peers feel the same way
