Acute Care/Primary Care NP

by b-girl

Can anyone guide me to where I can find specific state rules for certification of NPs?

I graduated from a primary care program, but I am interviewing for an acute care position and I wanted to be sure that my state allows primary care certified NPs to work in an acute care setting.

Thanks

I've looked all over their website and can't find anything. When I call to speak with a representative (twice) they always reply that they don't know.

I had read an article a while ago (I can't remember where) that broke it down. I was curious if anyone had a link to a similar article that discusses how the whole role of NPs in primary and acute care is changing and state-to-state specifics

Is this the article you are looking for (Medscape registration required):
http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/506277

There Texas BON also has information here:
http://www.bon.state.tx.us/practice/...fpractice.html

Not sure what state you are in.

Finally here are the competencies for FNP and ACNP from NONPF:
