  1. Interesting Physician Perspective On NPs

    There is a lot wrong with NP and PA scope of practice in the south, particularly Alabama, which has the most restricted scope of any state in the nation for NPs. Louisiana won't allow CRNAs to practice chronic pain management, even though CMS has dec...
  2. Interesting Physician Perspective On NPs

    Glad to see so many defending PAs on here. We need to realize that PAs and NPs can do so much more together. They both have their faults and points of excellence in different places, which culminate in equal care by both. If we come together, we can ...
  3. Name and scope of NP/PA's

    The current thought model on how PAs can become independent is through CAQ (certification of additional qualifications), which has only come out in the last few years and there isn't one for every specialty yet. They are written by specialty PAs and ...
  4. Name and scope of NP/PA's

    Absolutely. NPs and PAs can come a lot further together than apart. As for the PA name change, it would help PAs be taken more seriously by insurance, executives, and legislators. Many specialist PAs, many of which already own their own clinic, are s...
  5. Emergency NP Fellowship

    I would do it like below. Total time=1.5 years. Didatic instruction run concurrent with rotations. Rotation Location Length  Emergency Medicine 28 weeks  Radiology/CT/Ultrasound 4 weeks  Anesthesia 4 weeks  Pediatric Emergency Medicine 4 wee...
  6. NP's in the Military

    You can also look at this file : Clinical Quality Management It will tell you a great about almost every type of provider in the Army
  7. NP's in the Military

    Note, you can be deployed as a med/surg RN, or other RN as your experience dictates, while being a military NP. This should help out. It is dated, but still holds mostly true. : Expanding the role of NPs in deployed settings Also, if you were wantin...
  8. Change of Name.

    First, the Nurse Practitioner name has been publicized quite a bit and it would be detrimental to PR if a change were to happen. Maybe not the end of the world, but it would just add a hurdle. Secondly, NPs practice nursing. This shouldn't be demeani...
  9. Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP): My Personal Pro's and Con's

    The army offers a DSc in PA studies that coincides with a EM or Ortho residency. Other branches have the residencies in place and are working to implement the DSc. This was done mainly to allow for promotion as you can get stuck in a rut if you only ...
  10. Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP): My Personal Pro's and Con's

    There is nothing wrong with an associate degree PA. All associate degree PA programs require minimum 4,000 hours of prior, high level experience (nurse, emt, rt) and most are in the 10,000 range. So might say they are better than master prepared PAs....
  11. American Academy of Family Physicians thoughts on NPs

    True with the exception of why they created PAs. PAs actually existed before NPs, albeit only by a year or so. Now AAs, they were created in opposition of CRNAs. That may be where you getting confused. Also, most do not want "independent" practice (t...
  12. Any NP schools in FL with good medical science foundation?

    Dude, as long as you have a 3.0, go for it. I made almost all B's in nursing school and I'm going to PA school after getting some HCE in critical care. I had good science GPA as well. Caspa does count nursing course, but you can it either as science ...
  13. Amerian Association of Critical Care Nurses

    No CRNA keeps their CCRN certification. At least none that I have met, and I guarantee if I still had mine they would have laughed at me.
  14. So I got rejected from NP school...

    4.0 GPA average for the class? You realize how much of a statistical improbability that is right? Either half the class went to schools where they gave higher than a 4.0 (which is not the norm of universities) or EVERYONE had a 4.0. There is probably...
  15. So I got rejected from NP school...

    Here's what happened.. Admission Director:"Where's the pile of applicants that met the minimum requirements?" Secretary: "On the left side of your desk." Admission Director:"How many are we taking this year?" Secretary: "75." Admission Director: ...
