Wall Street Journal says that nurses applaud the movement of let
nurses practice without physician supervision
6,135 advanced-practice nurses would be considered independent
practitioners
This includes nurse anesthetist
Nurses: more timely, high-quality care quicker
Doctors: believe it will ruin physician-led team-based health care
VA allowed a physician assistant and physician to decide the scope of
autonomy
The American Society of Anesthesiologists said allowing nurse
anesthetists to work unsupervised would decrease quality of care, and
that physicians are better equipped to handle emergencies
American Association of nurse Anesthetist: countered saying
physicians were just trying to protect jobs
Their defense was studies showing that there no difference in pt
outcome with an anesthetist
Anesthetist were a more cost effective method
Survey of 972 clinicians show that doctors provide higher quality of
examination and consultation
2/3 of the Nurse practitioners from that survey disagreed
77% of NP believe an expansion on their role would save money
31.1% of physicians say that NP role expanding will save money

This source was very well researched and contained a plethora of examples
from all sides of the argument/debate.
