Question

Are we heading toward a bubble bursting in wages for nurses and physicians? What roles are new advanced practice clinicians playing such as ARNP's, PA's, and Advanced Practice Paramedics? How will this affect pay among all healthcare clinicians?

Answer 1

Yes,As the need of protecting and promoting health of the nation,the health care providers are working hard and leaving their personal life even.
Its not that they are exceeding in wages,but also improving the health status of the public which indirectly produces the productivity of the country.

The role of advanced practice clinicians are;
*ARNP(Advanced registered nurse practitioner)-as ARNP
*examine patients and dianose based on the historyand physical assessment,
*admit,manage and discharge patients from hospital,
*order,collect,perform and interpret diagnostic tests,
*manage health care by identifying,developing,implementing and evaluating a plan care,
*prescribe therapies and medical equipment
*prescribe medication when necessary,
*refer patients to other health care providers,services or facilities.

PA's (physician assistants)-are cost-effective substitutes for physician,with similar outcomes in primary care ,and orks under supervision of a doctor.
Advanced practice paramedics-Nurse anesthetist,Nurse medwives,Nurse practitioner and physician assistant are qualified health care professionals who provide care and treatment under supervision of a doctor.
As helth care demands have increased in United states due to shortage of physicians,there has been a shift toward more independant inpractice.
hence the worth and wages of the physicians not decrease the collaboration of the ARNP,PA and Advanced practice nurses.
