Talk:Nurse practitioner
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Should there be a link to CNP in the entry and at the "see also"? All they do is loop back to this page
[edit] Americacentric
This is quite possibly the most americacentric article I've seen in a long, long while - we do have Nurse Practitioners in other parts of the world y'know! Will try to work in some stuff about NPs in the UK, does anybody else have any experience of them abroad? --John24601 20:48, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "44 States"
Some sources say all nurse practitioners can prescribe medication in all 50 states. Is there a link to this anywhere?
[edit] Worldwide view
Someone tagged this article as saying it does not reflect a worldwide view. As far as I know "Nurse Practitioner" is a term only used in the US // it only reflects a US occupation. Thus I'm removing it for now 167.193.84.7 19:18, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
- That tag appears to have been added by User:Lima Golf on 10th Jan 2007 - but I wuld agree with it. Nurse practitioner is a term used in the UK & I feel the article only reflects the view in the USA - particularly the sections relating to post-nominal letters & Education, licensure, and board certification. — Rod talk 19:49, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
This article most certainly reflects only the application of "nurse practitioner" in the United States. It does not reflect the rest of the English-speaking world and should state such.
So why not add nominal letters and education for nurse practitioners in the rest of the English-speaking world?
