[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 10273, member: 1697"] and yes, adv prac nurses do understand the medications and the functions of medications on body systems etc. ANd more often nurses see the results of such things as they appear in the "real world" or "out in the ield" more so than the docs do. A doctor can often tell you in words what nausea for example is and what it looks like but- the might not be able o tell you all the ins and outs that are involved with nausea. Often it is the nurses in the trenches dealing 1-1 with the whole set of issues leading up to - during and after. The docs world is often far more removed, more sanitized. and while a doctor might use the term "defecate" and a patient might feel intimidated and simply respond so as not to appear "stupid" a nurse might say "poop" and get a more relaistic accurate answer. Altho- I am not tryingto bash docs..there are some awesome docs out there..I am speakign more in general here with that type exampe Choosing between a psychiatrist who maybe does not limit his pratice to children or children with a specific diagnosis-----or an adv prac nurse who does ---I would RUN to the nurse. I want someonewith experience- ands on experience. [/QUOTE]
