[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 10263, member: 1697"] My kids see an advanced practice nurse who has a PhD in nursing and also I believe in psychiatry and she is a professor of nursing and also of psychiatry at a major university teaching hospital. we affetionately call her Dr Nurse. as to what is within their legal abilities, it can be different state by state. Ours has been our main care provider for over 5 years and has diagnosis'ed and followed my kids all that time. The only time there was a problem was when we ordered medications from another state thru ouur insurance and it was a controlled substance and that got tricky..... The care we have recieved etc has been the very very very best quality we have EVER EVER gotten from AYONE anywhere ever. AT the VA where my husband has been being followed for the last 10 years, he has for his primary caretaker- an advanced practice nurse, as well. One of the big differences in more recent years beteeen MDs and adv prac nurses is how they look at a person, and the "problem"- typically a doctor mostly focuses specifically on JUST "the problem" where a nurse has a bigger kind of focus and takes more into account how something affects them as a whole human being. Please note, I did not say ALWAYS or NEVER. This is a general thing, not an exact thing. - and due to some differences in the philosophies behind their professions, but not entirely concrete. do keep something in mind.....everyone continues to learn on the job etc.....a good caare provider is going to LISTEN......listen to patient......and keep current on newest research..... Prior to my husband current adv prac nurse caregiver, he had a doctor with FIVE PhDs and his MD and that doctor was .....useless. [/QUOTE]
