r/Noctor is a subreddit with 72k members. The most common kinds of discussions are pain & anger and advice requests, and the community frequently discusses hate, tired, np, mid level, and doctor.
This sub is intended as a repository of sources and a place of discussion regarding independent and inappropriate midlevel practice. It is designed to highlight the differences between a medical doctor and midlevels in areas including training, research, outcomes, and lobbying.
___________________________________________
"Noctor" refers to midlevels (NP, PA, CRNA, CNM, etc.) who pretend to be doctors. This is not a sub for discussing nurses acting in a nursing role.
