NPAO: Nurse Practitioners Association of Ontario’s Post

The American Association of Nurse Practitioners® (AANP) responds to the recent article, "The Miseducation of America's Nurse Practitioners." The organization highlights the unbalanced nature of the story, criticizing the authors for selectively presenting negative information while overlooking the substantial contributions nurse practitioners (NPs) provide to patient care and the healthcare system. #AANP #NursePractitioners #Healthcare #PatientCare https://lnkd.in/gzniXGbU

#Bloomberg really sh*t the bed with it's piece against America's #1 most trusted profession. In Regards to "Miseducation of America's Nurse Practitioners": I'd like to know which physician lobbyist group encouraged (read: bribed) Bloomberg to run a series smear campaign against US Nurse Practitioners. What a non-sensical, reddit-hole, toxic masculinity, biased trope this promulgates. #nursepractitioners save lives, regularly score better than physician #colleagues on satisfaction reports with patients, and boast an overall lower malpractice rate. The tamping down, over-regulation, and oversight/control of a traditionally female-dominated profession reeks of patriarchy. Plenty of physicians 150-100 years ago were poorly trained, diploma-mill clinicians who caused significant patient harm following subpar 2 year trainings. To lash out at our profession is disingenuous and dangerous. Consider how the #Flexnerreport from the early 1900s, which notoriously closed down Black and women's colleges, leaving only the wealthiest and best funded (read: for the privileged, white, males) medical colleges intact. Physicians banding together with hospitals in the first bids for capitalist, medical market control, gave them a hardly unique, but wholly dangerous, reason to continually discredit other providers. Want a real hot tip? Let's talk about how the American Medical Association (AMA) spends enormous energy and funds to discredit #universal health care. Health care is a #right not a privilege - contrary to the AMA's extremely unpopular (but deeply funded) belief. Thousands of #nursepractitioners, #CRNAs, #midwives, and #faculties would be happy to discuss the benefits of the nurse practitioner and advanced practice registered nurse (#APRN) in the American health care system. Resist the urge to drink the toxic juice of ill-meaning, capitalist, patriarchal, medical control. The well-being of millions of American people depends on it.

The discussion generated following the July 24th Bloomberg Businessweek article, "The Miseducation of America’s Nurse Practitioners" is IMPORTANT for all to follow. "Although nurse practitioners and physicians undergo different training, both paths are designed to equip them with the skills needed to deliver high-quality care. With the increasing demand for healthcare and a shortage of physicians, NPs are effectively bridging gaps in access and providing timely primary and specialty care for patients, especially in underserved populations" (taken from the MA Coalition of Nurse Practitioners response given the lack of a fair or balanced representation of the capabilities and contributions of nurse practitioners). Sharing the AANP response below as well for all to stay informed so we keep moving forward, not back.
