meanwhile, there’s 7500 available hospital beds in tx

And if your kids gets some horrible odds and requires hospitalization, that doesn’t mean they will need the icu
They would have to have another set of bad odds to require that intensive of care

I was referring to physicians (MD/DO) being in a ton of student debt upon graduation from medical school. You could probably get a BSN degree for under $25-30k if you completed your first two years in community college. My initial track in undergrad was BSN, but I changed mind later on. If I would have gone through with it, tuition for the four years would have been $32k total in-state.

A lot of mid-levels come from non-traditional backgrounds. I was a firefighter/paramedic with zero interest in healthcare initially. EMS led to Nursing which led to NP. I understand there are some significant problems regarding mid-levels particularly the lack of standards for nurse practitioner curriculum or should I say ZERO standards. There is no barrier of entry and too much is done online. At least with PA-C there is a pretty significant barrier of entry.

That being said most medical problems are easily treated. I am not in the ER trying to manage septic shock, I am in an urgent care treating urinary tract infections, etc. I am a little different than most APRNs as I am a huge nerd and really into what I do. If I was younger I would have gone back and went to medical school but at the point in life when I figured it out it just didnt make sense financially. Why would I spend $250k on medical school and do 3 years of residency when I could make 85% of what an outpatient psychiatrist does as an APRN. How many years of practice would it take to catch up to the difference?

The nursing lobby is too powerful though. I understand physicians frustrations with mid-levels. I could go on and keep ramblin but I have patients to see..

Hospitals are already doing this. They’re replacing the $$$ MD’s with cheaper PA/NP/CRNAs.

I mean, fuk, NPs can now practice independently. Medical school graduates aren’t matching to residency because of this bullchit, and are stuck with no career and $300k+ of student debt.

Quality of care will go down, but profits wont.

$300k+ debt is the bank or government problem LOL
