re: SB 435 would allow advanced practice nurses to not work under a physician

You are making a lot of assumptions.

Please explain to me how we can have MDs, already selected from a higher IQ pool, who complete 4 years of medical school and 4 years of residency in one specialty... and still be “stupid”

Yet NPs, selected from a lower IQ pool, can have less education and training (sometimes online) but understand pretty much every specialty in medicine?

What is the secret to their training?

I’ll help you out. They know the basics. They don’t know the nuances of medicine that you learn through experience and training. Their schooling was designed to produce mid level providers operating under supervision. Those rules have been bent and stretched because of a false hope that it could solve our “healthcare crisis”. That’s how it’s being sold to you when in fact it will have no impact on the current crisis and could actually worsen it.
