5. Physician Extender ???

   MowbrayRN replied to Barnstormin' PMHNP's topic in NP

   I am an RN going for my NP. It doesn't bother me as an RN nor will it bother me as an NP. I don't feel the term implies anything. I feel like a lot of HCP are just letting their ego get in the way, taking away from the main goal we are all working to...

6. Physician Extender ???

    Hello, I have recently been hired in the Neuro ICU in Michigan, where the only mid-level providers are PAs. I am interested in going for the ACNP to be a critical care NP. At my father's hospital NPs and PAs have the same tasks, pay, etc. Although at...

12. Transducer Placement?

    MowbrayRN replied to ClanMcBride's topic in CCU

    In the CCU at my hospital we tape it to the pt, putting it on a poll leaves to much room for error and variability.
