    Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    core0 replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    core0 replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    The 2015 date is simply what two organizations wish. There is no DNP requirement for any certifying organization either now or proposed. Similarly neither of the two nursing accrediting agencies...

    core0 replied to georgiapeachNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The short answer is you are being ripped off and should find another job. The pay is far below what the average is and they are simply taking advantage of you. There are plenty of full time (>36...

    What allows one more independence? NP or CNS?

    core0 replied to allsmiles2008's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    While I agree with you, unfortunately the only thing that the payors care about is the ability to diagnose and treat. As you stated the psych CNS role predates the NP and the APN (as it was used then)...

    core0 replied to allsmiles2008's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    First of all welcome to allnurses. I would encourage you to critically examine statements such as those by the NY Times. Numbers have been discussed here before. The real number of NPs working as...

    ANP vs. ACNP

    core0 replied to Lindz28's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Both will allow you see inpatient and outpatient specialty patients. Depending on the area ANP may preclude you from working in critical care areas (and lack of peds in both may limit ER work). ANP...

    PA vs. ACNP

    core0 replied to ILoveIceCream's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yes a "regular" nurse can become credentialed as can an NP. What NP Gilly was presumably referring to is that its generally easier to get OR privileges as a PA than as an ACNP for a number of reasons....

    Where did you get your license, KMart

    core0 replied to litebrightgirl's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If you read the original post, the OP told the NP the symptoms but never registered for the clinic. The NP essentially told her with those symptoms you aren't going to get antibiotics. In all...

    Surgical first assist as NP?

    core0 replied to BChapp3182's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    There isn't good data for the NPs probably due to the dearth of NPs in surgery. There are four surgical areas in the top 10. CVS has by far the highest salary. But also procedure rich areas make...

    Surgical first assist as NP?

    core0 replied to BChapp3182's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would disagree. While a surgeon will hire an NP or a PA for what they do outside the OR, the ability to bill is key. The issue is that surgical reimbursement revolves for the most part around the...
