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.

You obviously don’t work with many NPs. My wife is a NP and she has worn a white coat for as long as she has been a NP...as a matter of fact, when she was in NP school at LSUHC, they actually required all of them to wear the white coat.

But you see this in many fields, including allied health.
They want direct access to the patients and if they are truthful about it, it is because they think they can get more of the pie. So they lobby and try to carve out certain things for themselves.
