Nps in the er

Hello people. If there are any fnp/acnp that practice in the er could you share exactly what you do on a daily basis. And what types of procedures you're allowed to preform on pts. Thanks!!!

I worked with a FNP in ED fast track who did a lot of cool stuff to the limit of conscious sedation.

What kind of procedures? Were they allowed to intubate, chest tube , suture, ect

Intimate and suture. Not credded for tubes tho. I work in main er

Intubate I mean lol

I intubate as a pre-hospital RN and do needle decompressions. Procedures aren't the end all.

More importantly is the assessment! When I worked in the ER as an APRN (for a six month part time gig), I saw tons of gynie stuff (as the only female provider), did a lot of medical abd pains, CP work ups, etc.. The residents and attendings did the procedures.

Ive been hearing about credentials for aprn when it comes to procedures. Did you have to get creds for intubation and suture too?

Good to see you adopted some nursing philosophy getting intimate with patients.

If it's an academic place, like Trauma said the residents will gobble the procedures.

All hospitals require competency verification and authorize each provider to do X, Y, and Z skills.

You'll usually see them on the intranets. Google and you might see examples. This holds true for employed and credentialed folks.

I recall the FNP doing some kind of oral surgery draining this abscess at the very back of a kid's gums with some kind d of special suction tubing. Boy, that kid bled but felt I immensely better. I'd see her take off toenails, and she'd was very aggressive about lancing, incising, and draining. Saw her reduce dislocations. Interpreted her own xrays. Sharp cookie. Thougjt Buspar was a good drug thought, lol.

This title caught my attention because I thought it said "Naps" in the ER. LOL
