Nurse examination

In my country nurse never do examination . Here a nurse check your blood pressure and give you injections when you need . The doctor is the person who check everything .

I am a nurse practitioner, which means I am one step below a doctor and I do routine exams--pap smears, prescribe some meds, there are a lot like me. I have a Masters in Nursing (MSN) so I am allowed to do a lot more than a diploma RN.

In the UK, nurses can do a lot more nowadays. Lots of study, most at Masters levels. Hoops to jump through, but pretty satisfying job when youve completed it.

Maybe thats why a lot of people want the doctor to do examinations, because its traditional, however, nurses do it better! More thorough. 😉

I had a nurse practitioner do my first sports physical.

In the US, in my area, my gyn is in very high demand, so there have been many occasions where I've seen a nurse practicioner instead so I can get an appointment when it is convenient..I actally like the NP better in many cases because they seem to spend more time addressing my questions and concerns in many cases.

My urologists practice includes female physician assistants (PA) who do routine urological exams on men.

In Netherland the nurse or the secretary does the pap smears and give injections, but the doctor does the check-up. But we have also Nurse practioners and she do a lot of more things.

I am a RNNP i can do more than a regular nurse.I do routine exams on my own. I also assist the Docs with procedures.

Ive heard of PA's doing exams here as well. My cousin who is a PA was telling me she dose gyn exams regularly

Nurses have given me a range of injections and exams especially when my tampon went too far up and a nurese had to give me a quick gyno to retrieve it.

As has been mentioned in a lot of topics so apologies for repeating here in UK routine smears are most commonly done by practice nurses at the GP office. I think these days for some nurses that must be all they do every day, with 15 min appointments so see 4 women per hour that is a lot of vaginas they see per day and per week. They could probably write books about vagina fashion.

Here the nurse puts her at least into position. The first time my wife was asked if she wanted Dr, xx or the nurse. She said Karen , the nurse was ok. She gave a very gently but very complete exam. Even on her belly with her legs spread and anal exam. I loved it.

I've had exams with a nurse practitioner (NP) for both sick visits and an annual well woman exam. It was very much like seeing a doctor. Had I not been told I'd be seeing a NP nor she introduced herself as a NP, I would have thought she was a female doctor.

It also depends on the country. Some country's don't have PA or nures practiners

Both do an examination kind of- when I was younger, the nurse did the preparatory things like urine and cleaning and the catheter sometimes (when that was done). They were involved in the exam at times, holding things open and such. I think it makes it worse.

Here in England, it doesn't matter what sex your doctor is, they are all trained professionals, I've had 100's of naked exams performed by both, women and men, but I feel saver with a woman, because once growing up, I think a male doctor touched me, in a naughty way. So it's girls all the way with me, but it can sometimes be embarrassing. BONERS!.
