Yeah, she's back!

Nice discussion in Anesthesiology forums about the new DNP exam from last October, along with data on pass rates, sample questions.

Enjoy!

I love how biased news can be.

On the flipside, nobody asked why Mundinger wants so badly for nurses to be called doctors. Is it because of the ego, or money, or prestige? It certainly isn't because patients will benefit.

In the province of British Columbia, Canada, there is legislation going through that may allow NATUROPATHIC(read: poultice and herbs) physicians full prescribing power, among other things, essentially turning them into general practitioners.

This insanity has got to stop - on both sides of the border!
