Here’s what #AB890 will promote: independent NPs running testosterone clinics in major metropolitan areas. Why? Because AB890 does nothing to make sure NPs work in primary care or in rural/underserved areas. @GavinNewsom #CALeg @CMAdocs

Some Nurse Practitioners are willing to call out the declining educational rigor of NP education. Sadly, it may not matter, as there is big money behind the push for FPA. Corporate greed wins. Patients suffer. #AB890 @GavinNewsom

How can we #NursePractitioners continue to allow educational standards of our predecessors to decline. Our profession is suffering as a whole. We need to open our eyes and stop the diploma mills, stop precepting students w/o experience, and stop seeking FPA until we clean it up.

There SHOULD be a pathway for FM docs to do crit care, endoscopy/colonoscopy, and more. Starting with MD/DO foundation is enough. Let’s help our docs pivot to cover necessary services. @aafp @AmerMedicalAssn

If you’re part of a group trying to legislate your profession into independent practice without physician involvement, you should have no input regarding the board certification process for physicians. @ABIMcert needs to rethink this.

But, but......NPs need to practice medicine independently without physician supervision so they can “fill the gaps” and serve the medically underserved. 🤔 Does this look like someone concerned about the underserved population? #HB2029NO Texans deserve better!

Q. What is the greatest political danger in the field of dermatology? A. The biggest danger facing dermatology is the misuse of physician assistants (PAs) and nurse practitioners (NPs).

When a tiny grassroots physician organization is the main focus of an official press release from AANP, the truth has to be on our side. #forthewin #forpatients #forphysicians #fortheteam #takebackmedicine
