What is happening now is very sad for patients and sadder still, the govt. pretend not to know.Cockroach Catcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14440000294855006966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5629209057489249999.post-14071355952587359832011-12-03T04:52:34.908-05:002011-12-03T04:52:34.908-05:00Thank you , as a nurse I worked briefly in an urge...Thank you , as a nurse I worked briefly in an urgent care centre & referred to it as the emperors new clothes, what a monumental waste of time ( for the patient) and money. I have a suspicion that using nurses as docs is a false economy, I hope there are some long term studies of patient outcomes being done somewhere. I worked with some excellent nurse practitioners but also with some downright dangerous ones. Managing and prescribing for long term conditions or in specialist areas is OK but I dint feel the course nurses undertake in anyway is enough preparation to make diagnoses .<br />Also unless it was a minor illness patients eend up having to go to a & e or back to gp for follow up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
