Why would it be ok to work independently in some settings and not others? Are those patients less valuable?

Either you have the training or you dont, you see everyone everywhere or you cant.

If they are deemed competent by lawmakers, they should practice independently everywhere.

No MD would employ one and NPs and MDs could compete head up for patients and revenue.

That’s right. Make them an independent separate entitiy. If the Nursing board/lobby is so confident that they can deliver better or equivalent care independently then separate yourself. Wear something other than a long white coat and actually call yourself a nurse practitioner. I don’t see many nurse practitioners advertising their credentials. They just want to wear a white coat and call themselves doctors.
