  1. Procedures as an FNP

    I used to go to the ACEP conferences and pick up some skills, and the consensus was if you were trained then sure do them and bill for it.
  2. C19 will hit you guys one day, this is not going away, Seattle where I am has been on fairly tight lockdown since the first of March. I compare it to a wet tarp over a hot fire full of coals. Start lifting that tarp up and the flames will rip again. ...
  3. NP's how are you these days?

    well here is another take, at a large hospital in Seattle they have sent out a group email that we are PA/ARNP are subject to be redeployed in a position other than what we work as, within scope as phrased, I.e PA can be redeployed as a MA helper and...
  4. APRN Dual Certifications Benefits?

    I think it might be for some. I have a hard time seeing where the differentation of the ARNP role is going to end. If I was 30 yrs younger going in to this I would struggle to decide, I am currently inpatient working at a level one center as a FNP. S...
  5. APRN Dual Certifications Benefits?

    I am aware of several FNP’s who have gone back to get ACNP certification so they could work acute care/inpatient roles.
  6. NP VS. PA salary

    Where I am we/us prefer NP’s for billing and independent licensure.
  7. NP VS. PA salary

    My experience after 10 yrs, no difference. Reimbursements based on position, place of employment and experience.
  8. Any NPs in EMS or the Fire Dept?

    as a current FNP and previous medic I do not see a lot of usefulness in a NP working prehospital. A focused prehospital EMS program gives in my opinion a much better clinical and didactic program for managing issues in the field, vs a ACNP or FNP, th...
  9. ICU Nurse Practitioners in teaching hospitals

    Well said.
  10. CME's on MP3/podcast etc

    For years I have listened to HIPPO rap, podcast that is certified for my CE. I am now signed up for their primary care. Its a excellent CME. Research, esoteric facts, reviews and opinions really well down. I seriously enjoy them and its well worth th...
  11. NP's answering to Nursing Management?

    This has a great point I have not reflected on much, I am a advanced practice nurse hence I suppose?? I practice nursing.... yet in reality we are in the same healthcare role as our colleagues DO's, MD's and PA's. We are share expertise and consult o...
  12. NP's answering to Nursing Management?

    Good comments here, and to answer the OP. I worked in a large academic center ED and the NP/PA's were managed by the RN director of the ED. Medical control by the EM director. The manager had a remarkable control including excluding NP's from having ...
  13. Which offer? ED or URGENT CARE?

    Oh my, no you misunderstand. I took a inpatient position trauma services to many advantages to describe. I also love what I do!!
  14. Which offer? ED or URGENT CARE?

    HA! I love that Truth is there, I have been in both, in ED fair amount of expected supervisor just as the residents and interns get though of course I am not one! UC on my own. Truth be I think as I am a FNP that the UC is more in my scope of practic...
  15. Help (Seattle/WA): AGPC-NP jobs?

    seems to me the more you focus/narrow the more you restrict your options? Why not FNP and focus with post doc work on Gero. I know a number of practices with heavy Gero load but would not hire a Gero specific provider. I however am far from being awa...
