Nurse Practitioner Persuasive Speech
Joy,
Thank you for mentioning something I was not sure we as potential nurse practitioners are expected to understand or have an opinion on, which is pay. I understand equal pay for equal work. But, like you I would not consider the training I receive as a nurse practitioner to be the same as that of a doctor. To begin with we are not able to perform surgeries even if we were to obtain certification in specialty areas such as wounds or cardiac medicine.
I agree with you again that every provider in primary care will probably be affected by the United States’ increasing population currently over 324,970,411 (Worldometers, 2016)!
Thank you for the reference to govtrack.us I have added to my favorites list and will refer to it for nurse practitioner

    Pros And Cons Of The PPACA

    Under the PPACA, primary care will have the responsibility of increasing same-day access with the expectation of reducing emergency room visits and hospitalizations. Although, the PPACA attempted to address this challenge with a stimulus package which guaranteed to train additional primary doctors the burden would be too great. As it has been noted by 2030 the country will experience an estimated shortage of physicians between 40,800 to 104,900; and primary care’s deficient is approximated to be between 8,700 and 43,100 (Mann, 2017).

    This is a lot faster than the average in most other job fields. As discussed earlier, this progress will transpire due to the continued increase of healthcare-related industries. Pay for doctors, specialists and surgeons are in the top pay scale for almost all job fields. In a study by the Medical Group Management Association’s Physician Compensation and Production Survey, the average compensation for doctors in all fields varied with different types of practice or specialty. In 2012, doctors working in the field of primary care averaged an annual compensation of over $220,000 and doctors in medical specialties annual compensation averaged over $395,000 (Bureau of Labor and Statistics,…

    Iom Report for Nursing

    The Institute of Medicine’s Report (IOM) on the future of nursing was very informative and brought very valid points for the need to reform nursing. Registered Nurses (RN) do not practice at the level that are trained. According to the IOM’s report that need to change. For example some states do not allow nurse practitioners to perform at their educational there practice is governed by state laws (Institute of Medicine of the National Academies [IOM], October 2010)). With escalating health care costs advance practice nurses (APRN) need to be playing a larger role in the health care system, both delivering and decision making about health care. APRN’s need to be working from health promotion to disease prevention. States may need to streamline scope of practice regulations that reflect the full extent of the APRN educational level. The Federal government is well suited to reform changes at the states level and offer incentives for adopting best care practices. The IOM’s Report also recommendations changes need to occur within the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid, Congress needs to ensure that nurses practice at their educational level (IOM, October 2010)…

    Do we have enough doctors that are required to provide primary care for our societal population for the state of Texas, or for that matter the United States of America as a whole? Well according to Becca Aaronson, (“Short-age of Doctors a Tough Fix” published August 22, 2013), no we do not. We fall well below the requirement for doctors to general population by far for various reasons. However, the major contributing factor simply boils down to money. States are investing millions of dollars to come up with a solution to the short-age of health care providers, however, the only solutions being found are not permanent, they are only short term.…

    I understand your view but I don’t think it is realistic. In many states, Nurse Practitioners (NPs) work under a physician. As far as these specialties go, I don't see NPs getting paid the same as doctors for a few reasons. First, there are few specialty NPs versus primary care NPs not to mention even fewer those who are doing their own practice independently. Second, doctors have more knowledge than a nurse practitioner and although as NPs we run into more and more complex issues where we do not have enough knowledge to solve. And lastly, in primary care clinic, doesn’t a medical assistant do the same job as a nurse? However, because the nurse goes to more extent schooling, would it be fair to pay them the same salary? Because of doctors ‘extensive…

    The Affordable Care Act of 2010 presented an interesting dilemma. According to the IOM panel, America will heavily rely on the expertise and compassionate care of advanced practice nurse’s to bridge the gap between the existing low number of primary care providers and the addition of thirty- two million people to the currently insured group of Americans. To connect this gap, it will be necessary to allow nurses to practice to their full potential by expanding their education and training.…

    Primary Care Physician

    • 1198 Words
    • 5 Pages

    There are a number of factors contributing to the shortage of primary care physicians. The simple rule of supply and demand is driving the physician shortage. The existing primary care physician workforce is shrinking as the demand for primary care services is increasing because of the aging population and the expected number of insured Americans who will enter the system through the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Christian, 2011). The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is the federal statute that attempts to reform the American healthcare system by providing more Americans with affordable health insurance (Currie, 2013). Some other reasons why there is a shortage of primary care physicians is that a significant portion of the physician workforce (33%) is over the age of 55 and is planning to retire in the next ten to fifteen years (Amirault, 2014). The number of U.S. medical students going into…

    Although I am seeking to become the ultimate health care provider, I want to be more in line with nursing than with medicine. In 2011, Paniagua’s research study identified that graduate physicians (GPs) work in a different style to that of advance nurse practitioners (ANPs), with ANPs working to diminish social distance from patients rather than creating it. In fact, Paradise, et al. (2011) noted that numerous studies show that patients are generally more satisfied with primary care provided…

    I agreed with you. Patient safety is paramount and crucial in any new procedure to be put in place. First of all, the new procedure has to be within nursing scope of practice and nursing act. The benefits and the risks of the new procedure should be evaluated before introducing it to the health personnel. Before the role-out of the procedure, the protocol to follow if any complication or risk arises should be put in place, policy and procedure for any risk should also writing before rolling-out the procedures.…

    PTSD or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a psychiatric disorder that can occur following the experience or witnessing of life-threatening events such as the military combat, natural disasters, terrorism incidents, or any major tragedy. This is common in the life of veterans and is the leading cause of suicide among veterans. A VA patient who survived in Baghdad shares his experience with PTSD and explains how he knew he had this disability. Many veterans speak out about this issue and describe their continuous anger, alcohol addiction, and constantly wanted to fight. They usually feel very isolated and distant from their loved ones. One patient states, “PTSD involves rocketing into extreme states of stress re-activity; in the form of terror, rage, and uncontrollable impulses, and plunging into equally extreme states of being shut-down—exhaustion, emotional numbing, despair, and dissociation”. PTSD is about having fear and anxiety, allowing veterans to rage with anger and different emotion. There are many factors to PTSD, which affects others in different ways; or example, using video games to keep them occupied, spending money due to the lack of impulse control because of changes in their brain, and even not obtaining another job.…
