Tribute to a Nurse Practitioner, by E.V. Stankowski RN

To Receive our inspirational stories as we post them subscribe to our mailing list by sending a blank e-mail to inspirationalstories-subscribe@topica.com

High above the earth and moon
Where Angels dwell on high
There is a place in heaven's home,
A place called Rainbow Sky.

And every year a choir sings
As tribute to your role
The words of songs kept secretly
Upon God's Ancient Scroll.

With every song the Angels sing
A rainbow does appear
Of such magnificent display
It makes the Angels tear.

Then two by two the Angels pen
Each colored stripe to show
The meaning of an NP's role
Foretold so long-ago.

To care for those within your scope
To guide each patient seen
Assess all symptoms known to man
Then gently intervene.

And though your patient load is great
At times, stress does run high
You strive to always do your best
A skill you can't deny.

For in your role you go beyond
What human eyes can see
And in the scope of patient care
You're more than an NP.

This fact, the Angels know quite well
For daily they abide
At every NP's side, and watch
With feelings of great pride.

As in your role you educate,
Your diagnose and treat,
And with great care and loving skill
All nursing goals you meet.

So high above the earth-lit-sky
In honor of your role
A symphony of rainbows dance,
That touches heaven's soul.

Facing doctor shortage, 28 states may expand nurses' role - USATODAY.com

A nurse may soon be your doctor. With a looming shortage of primary care doctors, 28 states are considering expanding the authority of nurse practitioners. These nurses with advanced degrees want the right to practice without a doctor's watchful eye and to prescribe narcotics. And if they hold a doctorate, they want to be called "Doctor."

For years, nurse practitioners have been playing a bigger role in the nation's health care, especially in regions with few doctors. With 32 million more Americans gaining health insurance within a few years, the health care overhaul is putting more money into nurse-managed clinics.

Those newly insured patients will be looking for doctors and may find nurses instead.

The medical establishment is fighting to protect turf. In some statehouses, doctors have shown up in white coats to testify against nurse practitioner bills. The American Medical Association, which supported the national health care overhaul, says a doctor shortage is no reason to put nurses in charge and endanger patients.

Nurse practitioners argue there's no danger. They say they're highly trained and as skilled as doctors at diagnosing illness during office visits. They know when to refer the sickest patients to doctor specialists. Plus, they spend more time with patients and charge less.

A hospital posted a notice in the nurse's lounge saying: "Remember, the first five minutes of a human being's life are the most dangerous." Underneath, a nurse had written: "The last five are pretty risky, too."
