    becoming an NP only to return to RN role?

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

    I think thats cause more than effect. NPs that are working in the role are more likely to have certification because of either credentialing or licensure. The question that I have is why is the number...

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

    I was at a talk at the AAPA convention on PA owned practices. There were about 150 people there and around 100 of them already owned practices. The talk was on the legal structure for practices. There...

    Own my own Practice

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

    Actually very few states prohibit a PA or NP owned practice. The trick is in structuring the practice correctly. Each state has very specific rules about the type of corporation and how physician...

    becoming an NP only to return to RN role?

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

    Anecdotally its pretty common. A lot of times students don't realize the different burden that is placed on the provider. I'm not saying this is harder than bedside nursing, just hard in a different...

    Covenant not to compete

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

    I think that it really depends on the situation. The last job I had the non-compete clause essentially prevented me from competing with the other group in the area but the other groups in the city...

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

    Its a contract everything is negotiable. There are two issues here. One is the non-compete clause legal. Many states have ruled that these are illegal. In states where they are legal they have to be...

    new FNP sample resumes

    From my point of view a CV is for a professional position and a resume is for a technical position. Realistically if you have few or no publications there is little difference between a CV and Resume....

    Do NP's have a role in inpatient rehab settings?

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

    All of the acute rehabs around here use either NPs or PAs. The ones that I am most familiar with use PAs. They round on the patients every day and make any interventions needed. I am guessing that the...

    Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    core0 replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I'm sure for a price they might be willing. The problem is that none of the participants understand how the medical education system works. Any bridge program has to be at least 3 years long by WHO...

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

    Normally I wouldn't really comment on this since it is an NP board but why NP not PA? With your experience you would be able to get into PA school relatively easily. You might have to update a few...

    NP with no experience vs. PA with no experience

    core0 replied to sunshine0509's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My experience is limited but there are two reasons that I see. Speaking strictly of new grads, the first is that nurses tend to evaluate NPs on their nursing experience. The hours in NP school are...

    Am I limiting myself with FNP?

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

    While that may be true in your area, since the OP is from Texas, I will point out that Texas BON interprets scope of practice issues very strictly. They regard an FNP certification as qualification...

    Geriatric NP- your opinion?

    core0 replied to SC ANP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    To reinforce what NP Gilly stated, not all states recognize GNPs. Get an ANP and get exposure to geriatrics there. It will enhance your employability, especially if you want to work outside...
