ACNP/RNFA Dual role

Specialties NP

Published

Is anyone out there currently in or has finished a dual role prog. like ACNP/RNFA? I am currently enrolled in this program and are wondering what the future holds. I just began this program and have already been approached by a cardiovasc. surgeon. This is a fairly new role from what i've been told so not many docs in my area (the south) are familiar with it. Any info on potential jobs or roles I might play upon graduation would be greatly appreciated.

I'm finishing a RNFA program and am looking opportunities to assist. What is ACNP/RNFA and where is your program located?

This sounds interesting. How long is an RNFA program by itself?

I second what IvICU has asked. How long is it normally by itself? Is the pay as good as a PA in assisting with surgeries?
