    RNFA vs STFA

    core0 replied to Coloradogrl's topic in Operating Room

    Umm no. The RNFA scope is that of an RN. If Non APNs in your facility can round, write orders etc then I would be interested in seeing that states Nurse practice act. To the OP as an assist the roles...

    medicare billing

    core0 replied to NHRNmomof3's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I got my NPI in about three days, although I already had a Medicare number. According to their website it should only take around 10 days. I think that the processing refers to processing Medicare...

    Thinking about becoming a Nurse Practitioner

    core0 replied to lmRNstudent08's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    As far as I can tell there is no comparable data for NPs. Advance for NPs has some data and Nurse Practitioner Magazine and NP central all have had salary surveys but none with more than 4-500 data...

    Nurse Practitioner or Physician's Assistant?

    core0 replied to arelle68's topic in General Nursing

    There are essentially three differences between the two professions. The first is in the training. NP education is degree dependent within a nursing specialty. The primary qualification for an NP is...

    Nurse Practitioner or Physician's Assistant?

    core0 replied to arelle68's topic in General Nursing

    For the OP the other thing that you should consider is that by the time you get ready to do your NP the majority of the programs may be DNP programs. You can find discussion about this here:...

    Nurse Practitioner or Physician's Assistant?

    core0 replied to arelle68's topic in General Nursing

    From where you are you could do either. There are bachelors, associates and certificate programs out there so potentially you could apply directly. Most likely you will need additional coursework to...

    NPs doing median nerve blocks??

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

    The other thing to consider is this considered in the scope of the CRNA in your state. Or do you live in one of the few states where pain medicine is the practice of medicine and outside the scope of...

    Thinking about becoming a Nurse Practitioner

    core0 replied to lmRNstudent08's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If PAs and NPs are doing the same job generally they should be paid the same salary. There is case law on this. In my organization we are paid based on our duties and experience as a PA/NP. We...

    The AAPA does a transition to practice series for PA students. Also the business aspect (transition to practice etc. is a required part of the coursework). They also have Salary surveys that cover...

    Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    core0 replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    All you get from the PA is half again as much clinical education and more than twice the didactic time compared to the DNP. Some of us are more into the knowledge and the experience than the title...

    How profitable is it to hire an NP

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

    The issue is that the way the revenue is generated is different depending on the specialty. FP is pretty straightforward. The NP is another provider. Revenue is based on collections, salary and...

    should I take an FNP job in Florida?

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

    Just out of curiousity why would you think that PAs don't have any autonomy? For what its worth FL is considered the worst state in the nation for PA practice. We have a model practice act and Florida...

    Who pays?

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

    Yes they should pay. This should be an important hire for them. They would pay for a physician hire they should pay for you. Unwillingness to pay interview expenses should be a warning sign. David...

    Do I need a specialty NP degree?

    core0 replied to %63theend's topic in General Nursing

    You can search on the NP forums here; https://allnurses.com/nurse-practitioners-np/ It depends on where you live. Around here FNPs work in the ERs. In other states FNPs cannot work in critical care or...

    Question about new PA mandatory overtime law

    core0 replied to Siouxz2's topic in Operating Room

    I don't think that its patient abandonment unless you accept the patient. This is from Tennessee but most states are similar: A nurse-patient relation ship begins when a nurse accepts responsibility...

    ANP v. GNP

    core0 replied to frankyfern22's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    There are a number of states that don't recognize GNPs. Most GNP programs allow you to test for the ANP instead. With the ANCCs decision to allow other NPs to certify without additional didactic and...

    Benefits Package

    core0 replied to Sheri FNP-C's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Unless the practice is doing something illegal, the first job should be at least two years (in my opinion). One of the things that we look at is job hopping. You want to hire someone who is going to...

    Benefits Package

    core0 replied to Sheri FNP-C's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It might be worthwhile to take crappy benefits to get a job, but for me the malpractice would be a drop dead issue. Its going to increase every year and you will have to pay a tail when you leave when...

    Any acute care NPs here work in oncology?

    Most Oncology NPs are trained under the ANP guise for the states that done recognize the oncology NP certification. There are not very many oncology NPs but ACNP would be just as appropriate depending...

    Benefits Package

    core0 replied to Sheri FNP-C's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You should have some the first year. 2 weeks is minimum the first year then three is OK. This is very bad. There is no real occurrence insurance anymore so your malpractice will go up every year....

    Own my own Practice

    core0 replied to sclement23's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This is the guy that gave the lecture at AAPA. He is supposedly the best at structuring a practice in California for PAs. I think that he works with NPs also. Probably expensive but worth it....

    Own my own Practice

    core0 replied to sclement23's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Actually the rule is that the same type of practitioner has to own 51% of the practice. So if a physician is in the ownership then they have to own at least 51% of the practice. A PA owned practice...

    PA to CRNA

    core0 replied to mongo73's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Not exactly. Its pretty well established for example that an NP who is working in the RN role will be held to the standard of care of an NP. Similarly if an MD who was also an RN was working as an RN...
