Awesome video about advanced nurse practice, yeah that’s right in the U.S, N.P have been practicing for a while, and I am sure that the scope of practice and NP will make huge improvements in Australia, please folks nurses are not and will never be bitches, this is a joke, be serious in life.

Hi Nurse Practitioners are relatively new in Australia. Their scope has been very limited and it is slowly changing. The first Nps were introduced in NSW under the direction of the then Chief Nurse Mary Chorella. It is only this year we are seeing clinics being run by nps and the medicare register will also help. Health services are reluctant to employ them because it is difficult to charge for their services.

Well presented, great argument for NPs. Will consider as am a male nurse in juncture of my career up stateside. Also as an extreme sports enthusiast, wonder if the Aussies get more than their usual share of traumas. LOL. Thanks again Luke!

I would like to become an NP or Physician Assistant one day. By the way, that male NP was really cute. His eyes… :]

Interesting. Is this new to Australia in the last year or so? We’ve been doing this for years in the US. Seems like my scope of practice is much larger in the States as well. Always curious how other countries do things.

…and nursing practitioners halve the waiting times, its a great solution, we should have more of them.

If we could just halve the number of injuries caused by stupidity, inattention, alchohol, poor eating habits etc then our ED dept’s would’nt be under so much strain.
