[NPInfo] CACC and AACN-READ BETWEEN THE LINES

[np at c-zone.net]

With the proliferation of these DNP & similar programs there will be,
after a few years, NO choice at all- it will become a done deal & NPs as
now exist will cease to exist as a practical matter. Doctors fear their
erosion of power & have been fighting to retain turf and revenue sources
for many years. It is going to only get worse. Academics who colloborate
with the medical establishment/political power base only make this worse,
and are contributing to the demise of the NP concept as a viable practice
model.
It is too bad that there is no equivalent of the National Rifle
Association for NPs to fight degree inflation, national certification,
etc. they way the NRA fights gun control!  The NRA does not 'go along to
get along', it draws a line, fanatically hangs tough on its core values,
and actively fights anyone who does not support their positions.
