The whole notion of "team based" and "collobaration" is a concept invented by administration and nursing serpents. Nurses have their roles as nurses. An ED doc doesn't need a nurse practicing medicine for him or her

I can honestly say I've never once met a wet behind the ear nurse who wanted to do actual nursing roles. Unequivocally they have all wanted to play doctor without the knowledge or work. Can you blame them though? After all, this generation has been brought up to believe they are all special snowflakes and deserve the same as the guy/gal next to them.

I'm pretty sure that is part of the nurse's role. However, the problem with nurses is that they eventually start thinking this whole medicine thing ain't so hard after all and that they can do it too.
 
"One thing that will not change is the litigious nature of America. You have to deal with so many aspects of care and you have to call in other doctors. It's not like FM where you can be really awful and no one cares. In EM everyone sees your mistakes hence why you need to have tough skin. You deal with some sick people in EM even after 3 years you have newly minted attending crapping their pants as they work alone. Derm is mostly a cash business and unlike FM patient's are very educated so they are not going to pay top dollar for a non-dermatolgist it's the same reason why FM who tries to get into Derm don't really do that well."

Thoughts?

Derm is not mostly a cash business.

Most of the people I met in nursing school are not interested in being a nurse

Midlevel "practitioners" wanting to practice medicine without the training is one of the big reasons why I chose pathology. We will be the last field to have midlevels significantly encroach on our turf:

1) Most nurses have no idea the path lab even exists
2) Nurses get virtually zero pathology training in their education
3) The skill set to read and interpret slides is totally foreign to people outside of pathology
