   CatskillNP replied to CatskillNP's topic in CRNA

   that wasn't isn't the worry. No turf wars here :) Was actually much more interested in the process. How it came to be. What was the impetis? what is the gain? If CRNA's can petition and become NP's, what do CNS's have to do to be the same...jus...

2. New York CNA's...

   CatskillNP replied to CatskillNP's topic in CRNA

   I believe they were in the same title category as CNS's. Certified Nurse Specialists. Their specialty being anesthesia. I have further learned today that not all CRNA's will be NP's. It will require additional education within an approved/accredit...

   CatskillNP replied to CatskillNP's topic in CRNA

   Nitecap. as smogmatt says, CRNA's were not APRN's in NY. Only NP's were APRN's in NYS. All specialties of NP's are NP's. CRNA's were not APRN's. They were not NP's. Now they are. Smogmatt....what and who's feathers do you feel will be ruffled...

   CatskillNP replied to CatskillNP's topic in CRNA

   You're right, they didn't change the name of the profession, they made them nurse practitioners. In NYS only Nurse practitioners are APRN's. Still looking for NY CRNA's. Prior to this summer, a CRNA was not an APRN in NYS

   Sorry, title should be CRNA's Tell me what you know/knew about the move to NP status in NY. Was looking through SED laws recently and saw CRNA's listed as an NP in NYS. That is new, very new. Did you know this was happening? How do you feel about it?...

   CatskillNP replied to LuvaNurse04's topic in New York

   Hey Linda, where are you??? NP's are great. But I'll never say that physicians don't have a place. I bring many years of nursing to my role as healthcare provider and feel this allows me to better connect to patients, to guide them in their health...

9. AACN Position paper on DNP

   CatskillNP replied to CatskillNP's topic in Doctoral

   FNP/DNP I don't disagree, we have seen most of the other professions go to a Doctorate level of preparation, but I think we are in a unique position. First, we're nursing, and nursing has always had a specific role in medicine, and the last 35 years...

13. A few questions :)

    CatskillNP replied to myoung's topic in NP

    If you're not from a nursing background, go the PA route, they'll teach you how to be little doctors. NP's are not little doctors. They are nurses with advanced education in assessment, diagnosis and treatment of all ages of patients. We bring to ...

    CatskillNP replied to CatskillNP's topic in NP

    Ufortunately, alot of the impetus behind the fast tracking came from scholastic need to fill seats. Additionally, NP's didn't put their foot down and say NO, WE won't treat this profession like this. Also unfortunately is that the reality is jobs a...
