   nomadcrna replied to subee's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   Your IMAGINATION is not the same as reality. Just because you "imagine" students graduating today can't place a spinal, epidural or central line does not make it true. But you stay in your little...

3. The economics of PA vs. NP

   nomadcrna replied to subee's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   You may want to read my post again. Nowhere did I even remotely say that students are competent after meeting the "minimum standards". Do you have to make things up? You call this an adult...

5. The economics of PA vs. NP

   nomadcrna replied to subee's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   You can't graduate unless you have the minimum spinals, epidurals and central lines. You are way wrong assuming physician education is somehow better, it's not. In any case, I'm done with you....

   nomadcrna replied to subee's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   Your comments are telling. You "HAD to work alone out of school"? You were graduated without knowing how to do central lines and spinals? Seriously? A spinal is such a basic part of our practice...

7. The economics of PA vs. NP

   nomadcrna replied to subee's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   Agreed. No reason for PAs to not have independent practice as well. We need to get over the NP vs PA crap. There is no functional difference. I've found the FP physicians, NPs and PAs are pretty...

   I have no words. We a truly our own worst enemy. You realize that the AANA has also come out with a statement about how derogatory the term mid level is? I'm sorry your program was subpar but mine...

11. The economics of PA vs. NP

    nomadcrna replied to subee's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    All the NP organizations came out literally YEARS ago against the term "midlevel"? I push back every time I hear it. I don't agree that PAs are mid levels either. They do function independently,...

    nomadcrna replied to cb57's topic in Advanced Practice

    You may want to read my post again. Are you trying to put words in my mouth? Did anywhere in my post I even remotely say that ACNP can be in the ED? 1. ACNP can't cover ED SOLO 2. ACNP can't...

13. Which states have the most independent CRNA scope of practice?

    nomadcrna replied to yourgoodneighbor's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    That map is not entirely accurate. Take Texas for instance, very restrictive. You need a physician to "delegate" providing anesthesia before you can do it. Have fun getting prescriptive authority....
