I'm curious if there is a difference in privileges that will be granted to DNP vs what the MS FNP currently has? Does anyone know?
Spacklehead, MSN, NP 602 Posts Specializes in Emergency, Cardiac, PAT/SPU, Urgent Care. Has 26 years experience. Feb 4, 2010 Not that I'm aware of.
PICUPNP 269 Posts Has 12 years experience. Feb 4, 2010 None that I could imagine. The NPs in the PICU here are already doing all CVLs, intubations, chest tubes, lumbar punctures, etc.
Trauma Columnist traumaRUs, MSN, APRN 165 Articles; 21,214 Posts Specializes in Nephrology, Cardiology, ER, ICU. Has 31 years experience. Feb 5, 2010 And the DNP is just a suggestion....kinda like "all nurses should have a BSN for entry into nursing." Doubt we will see the mandatory DNP....
