    caldje replied to jstuben's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    go to this website for info re: PAs and NPs being able to start their own practices. Building a Practice in Your Home Community As you can see, both PAs and NPs can start their own

  2. NPs in Private Practice Site

    caldje replied to PMFB-RN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  3. Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

    caldje replied to jstuben's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have tried to explain this to people.. even very educated people.. and most won't even entertain the idea that independent practice for NPs is not much more possible than independent practice for...

  4. Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

    caldje replied to jstuben's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Can I tweek that last statement a little bit and say that "NPs and PAs need to come together and create a large unified voice." The american college of clinicians attempted that but doesnt seem to...

  5. Will somebody PLEASE tell these doctors....

    caldje replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    I am a PA (physician assistant) student and reading this. I read the entire thread, actually. We all, docs, PAs, and NPs, care a lot about what our nurse colleagues think and certainly do read things...

  6. Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

    caldje replied to jstuben's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    even in missouri certain clinics and facilities are exempt from that rule. Look it up. You are right though, it does vary state to state as is common for both NPs and PAs. Lets also remember to...

  9. Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

    caldje replied to jstuben's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    PAs can be PCPs. PAs average a little more than NPs on the whole but an NP and PA working in the same situation usually make the same ammount. There is no such thing as an FDA number. FDA= food and...

  10. Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

    caldje replied to jstuben's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    As a "PA" you should know that all 50 states require PAs to pass the PANCE in order to be eligible for licensure. This does NOT vary state to state. Also, PAs have their OWN license to practice...

  11. Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

    caldje replied to jstuben's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  12. Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

    caldje replied to jstuben's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  13. Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

    caldje replied to jstuben's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yes, sometimes docs will prefer to hire NPs and much of the time docs will prefer to hire PAs. Every statement you just made can be mirrored for NPs. For example, how many NPs were upset about the...

    caldje replied to ERNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  21. Information on Ortho NP and PA Please

    caldje replied to cal565's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP
