[NPInfo] What a NP can do

[Alfredo Bimbela]

This is we wrote the publication "PHYSICIANS: What You Need to Know to Work with a Nurse Practitioner ". The book is tailored specifically for physicians about what they want to know about nurse practitioners. It is simple and to the point on many issues.
  Right now, I am working to bring this publication to members of the AMA. 
   
  We have to be proactive and diligent in bringing the information to physicians and not wait for physicians to do the leg work. 
   
  Another forum that we can use is youtube.com.
   
  If you want to hear an inaccurate description by a PA about nurse practitioners, view the following:

  This is not to pick on this particular PA, but it serves to illustrate that professionals struggle with learning about nurse practitioners. 
   
  Just my thoughts,

Alfredo, I agree with you that most docs still do not understand what a NP can bring to their practice. I left my hospital position today and took a full time job with my retail clinic. One of the docs I work with at the hospital asked why I was leaving and I said "because you didn't offer me a job" joking a little with him. He answered seriously, "I can't afford to pay you!" I told him he needed to reframe the idea and think how much money I could EARN for his practice. But he still doesn't get it.
