Physician Extenders on Episode 8 of Insights in Nursing
Insights in Nursing Podcast Episode –
This week’s episode of Insights in Nursing looked at a USA Today article on multi-state licenses causing problems with disciplined nurses skirting the rules. Is this a huge problem or much ado about nothing?
Then we move on to discuss a problem with the title some physician agencies are using for PAs and Nurse Practitioners. They are being called “Physician Extenders.” Huh? EXACTLY.
Finally we point out an instance of the media getting it right by recognizing a nurse who was nominated to a position of honor by a patient advocacy group.

I loved this episode regarding Physician “extenders” and thought that you all covered the topic very well. I take such offense to the term extender! I would LOVE to give you insight on Nurse Practitioner issues. Feel free to contact me if you ever want me to come on your show! Kim is so articulate and I love her blog. She inspires me to blog and I hope that she continues to pursue her advanced degree and joins our ranks as an Advanced Practice Nurse.
Thanks for your input. I’m glad you are enjoying the Insights in Nursing podcast. I’ll make sure that Kim and Terri get the word on this comment. Send me your contact info via the InsightsinNursing(at)gmail(dot)com email address and I’ll put in the rotation for an upcoming episode.
