That’s at least $100k less than it cost me to use the word “doctor” (med school tuition)....

Her supervising physician told the nurse to own her DNP title and call herself doctor? Yeah that smells like b.s.

nurses at the AANP and those diploma mill NP schools are probably having a meltdown right now

Legal Fees, organized by Sarah Erny

Hi my name is Sarah and I'm here to ask for help. Doing this makes me want to vomit because I don't ask for hel… Sarah Erny needs your support for Legal Fees

www.gofundme.com

Here’s her GoFundMe so you can help pay for her legal fees, since she is clearly the victim in this entire scenario.

Unbelievable.

What's with these nurses and their victim complex? How about all the patients she defrauded?

Falling on her sword to be called doctor...yet the most important thing is to take good care of patients...well, taking good care of patients and the ego stroke of being called doctor...but a different kind of doctor...but a provider doctor....it's about the patient.

I still, sometimes, think about trademarking “anursthetist”, or maybe “anursthesiologist”......

Nope. Not at all. There are physicians out there who literally think like this. That DNP nurses have earned that title and therefore need to own this. I have seen it online on sites like IG and TiKTok and maybe even on here. Some docs have been brainwashed to think this is OK. Or they don’t want to piss off nurses they are making money off.
It’s all politics.

Greed is a big motivator especially when the doc is making money off the nurses back they'll say what they will to make them happy in lieu of money

Talk is literally cheap.

Which reminds me of my favorite motto as an employee:

Should have done jail time. No gofundmes for that..

That’s extreme! Did she maliciously harm people? Come on.

 

[neutro]

Interesting - i agree with this in principle.

Patients can have different expectations from physicians vs midlevel providers. To pose as a physician and furthermore engage in treatment without the patient's clear consent or understanding, it could be harmful and unsafe.

 

[deleted875186]

20k fine seems like a very a meager fine. Sounds like there was potential for harm and patients may have been misleaded.

I think this is a huge issue that needs to be addressed at more than just a state level. I like the large “doctor” and “nurse” tags the hospital puts under ID badges, it’s a start as everyone in the hosptial seems to wear a white coat at this point.

“Functional medicine” is all I needed to read.

Lol stop

Lol stop

Seriously though, as soon as she got caught, she immediately went into “poor helpless nurse” mode and played the victim card, claiming she didn’t think she did anything wrong and then marketed her financial hardship to gain pity and subsequent donations. If you don’t even want to pay for your crimes then are you really even sorry? Zero remorse, zero accountability, when the very act she perpetuated is fraud in its simplest form..

Googling fraud:

a person or thing intended to deceive others, typically by unjustifiably claiming or being credited with accomplishments or qualities.

This nurse has all the publicity she needs on the internet. I don't think anyone who googles her will ever mistake her for a doctor.

Doesn’t gofundme have a policy against this type of fundraising? this was fraud. i don’t think you can fundraise to pay off fines for that…

Her Go Fund Me has already raised over $18k.

“Functional medicine” is all I needed to read.

Amen to that. I got a referral from a functional medicine 'doctor' the other day for a COPD patient who has end stage COPD (fev 18%) taking ****ing inhaled silver for some indecipherable reason but no nocturnal ventilation or advanced care discussions.
