    Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

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

    You stated that PAs couldn't own practices in TX. The response was yes they can and I do (as much as any information from anonymous people on the internet can be accurate). Your response was: You will...

    Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

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

    Nothing like name calling to bring the level of discussion down. You made a factual statement that was incorrect (which you had made before) and were called on it. Lets see a PA can bill under their...

    Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

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

    Actually the point was that a PA would not be at as much of a disadvantage as the previous poster thought. It also brings up again the primary difference in educative philosophy between NP and PA...

    Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

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

    Independent Clinic as NP

    core0 replied to coco3299's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    In most states you can probably legally open your own clinic as an NP but the question is should you? The first few years in practice will be formative to learning about medicine. The NPs and PAs that...

    Nurse Practitioner or Physician's Assistant?

    core0 replied to arelle68's topic in General Nursing

    I think that its a combination of things. The DNP isn't really a factor around here, but at least one of the RNs was worried about it being required in the future. The primary draws in interviews seem...

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

    Most level one nurseries are covered by general pediatricians. Its only the really big centers where neo's cover all the nurseries. Small towns with FP doing C/S and peds doing resuscitation's are not...

    If almost done with a MSN in 2015, grandfathered in?

    Just remember that the states were not the driver for the MSN to practice as an NP. Medicares requirement for the MSN proceeded all but one or two states. When the states did not require the MSN NONPF...

    core0 replied to Violet29's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Medicaid is its own special level of hell. Other than that most private insurances don't credential anyone beside physicians. Once you get your NPI you have to apply for any state Medicaids that you...

    Masters in Nursing outside the USA

    core0 replied to RN_NYC_9's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm confused. The NCLEX-PN is for practical nursing (LVN and LPN). Why would you want to take the NCLEX-PN if you already have a BSN and RN? If you are asking can you be licensed as an NP if you take...

    Insurance Credentialing. . .HELP!

    core0 replied to Violet29's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would agree with the above. Everywhere I've worked the practice took care of the credentialing. Most practices don't consider it a big deal. For Medicare you can hold billing and submit it once you...

    RNFA vs STFA

    core0 replied to Coloradogrl's topic in Operating Room

    Exactly. Its going to depend on your state practice act but generally to do anything outside of the OR that is not part of an RN license you are going to have to be an APN. If you have RNs who are not...

    What does an ID Nurse Practitioner do?

    core0 replied to madden52's topic in General Nursing

    There's no such thing as an infectious disease ARNP. You would have to do either an ANP, ACNP or PNP depending on what focus you want. Then you would have to find a job with an infectious disease...

    What's the easiest job in the operating room?

    core0 replied to linda2097's topic in Operating Room

    I missed this when you posted. I think that my answer would be no. The issues would be much the same as when I was a tech. I enjoyed the OR. I was lucky to have a good bunch of surgeons, techs and RNs...

    What's the easiest job in the operating room?

    core0 replied to linda2097's topic in Operating Room

    I guess you have all the answers. The difference between us is that you think being a first assist is easy. I know its not. Of course I also understand that other jobs in the OR are difficult also. It...

    What's the easiest job in the operating room?

    core0 replied to linda2097's topic in Operating Room

    If you think that being an FA is holding the retractor where you were told to put it (or it was placed) then yeah its a pretty easy job. On the other hand if you are a real first assist then there is...
