2.  This article is by Julie Fairman, and it addresses how Nurse Practitioners are going to become dominate in primary care.

• "Today, many Americans use Nurse Practitioners (NPs) for much of their health care needs and NPs are now fully accepted by both health care consumers and most other care providers as a critical component of a modern health care system."
• "As reports of these experiments were published, the number of programs for nurse practitioners grew rapidly, supported in part by federal funding through the Nurse Training Acts in the next two decades, and through the largesse of private foundations which supported new types of service models and training programs."
• "Today, NPs have proven their effectiveness in delivering high quality lower cost health care services. Health care consumers, recognizing the value of good service flock to NPs for numerous health care needs."

4. This article is very dependable, because it is an article from PENN Nursing Science. It also is from a dependable source, that works. Which is .edu, and this source is very valid. Much of this article is fact based, so it cannot be biased.

5. This article will help me provide research for my essential question. I will also use it to back up some of the answers I received when I conducted my interview.

Assignment #17

I am still working towards my essential question. I have decided to conduct another interview with the questions I asked with Allyson Cole, but With the questions being a little different and interview a doctor for the second interview. I want to see what a doctor thinks on why more medical students are becoming nurse practitioners rather than doctors. I believe this will help to provide answers for my essential question and help to show two sides of the medical field.

Annotated Bibliography Summary

   The source for my bibliography is Pawlyk, Oriana, "Nurse Practitioners to treat Vets without Doctor Supervision." 2016. This article contains information about how the VA passed a nationwide rule that all nurse practitioners that worked at VA hospitals now have the authority to work with patients without doctor supervision. They explain how they want the best care for the retired veterans coming to their hospital, without them having to wait very long for care. Also, now in 21 states and the District of Colombia nurse practitioners can already provide care without doctor supervision, but now with the rule from the VA every nurse practitioner that works with the VA in any state can work without doctor supervision.

     I will be able to use three quotes from this article. The first one says, "The Veterans Affairs Department beginning next month will allow certain nurse practitioners to treat veterans without the supervision of doctors across the agency for the first time." Another quotes that I will be able to use states this, "The regulatory change permits three types of nurse practitioners-- certified nurse practitioner (CNP), clinical nurse specialist (CSN), and certified nurse-midwife (CNM)--"to practice to the full extent of their education, training and certification, without the clinical supervision or mandatory collaboration of physicians, "in states"." The last quote that I am going to use says that, "While in 21 states and the District of Colombia already grant nurse practitioners so-called "full practiced authority," the rule marks the first time in the VA established a nationwide framework for such specialists to provide direct care to Vets throughout the system."

     This article was published on the website Military. com. With it coming from ".com" it could be potentially biased about the topic, but this article is based mainly on facts. The article is about the VA making better care for our countries retired soldiers. It is also credible, because it is based on real facts that are happening in the medical field happening right now. Also, because it is off the additional sources that were given to us. Which was http:/www.sweetsearch.com.

     I will potentially use this in my research for my essential question in my capstone project. It will help to drive my research, and back-up my essential question. Also, it will help me to work harder in my career knowing that nurse practitioners will hopefully soon be able to dominate primary care.
