The demand for Nurses is extraordinarily high. An RN with experience can go anywhere in the country and earn good pay. North Carolina will pay a price for this foolishness.
This appears to be just more undermining of our Health Care System. North Carolina Court has truly stepped in it here, IMO.
Nurses have always had responsibility, and can get sued. But midlevels who promote themselves as better than MDs use the MD license to protect themselves. In this case, it was a nurse anesthesiologist taking a three year old with multiple medical problems including heart disease. When CRNA came onto the scene, they only took the easy cases.Now, they are trying to displace MD. Watch who delivers your care, their license and training.
