    If teaching hospital nurses are denied a raise, this may be why

    core0 replied to Anxious Patient's topic in General Nursing

    This is how major academic research hospitals work. If you look at what he does its pretty easy to see why his pay is the way that it is. He's a Dermatologist and a Dermatopathologist. Pretty much two...

    discussion regarding education of NP (DNP) and PA compared to MD/DO

    core0 replied to RN to Medschool's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    once again don't confuse the pa forum with what happens in the real world. as i stated above pas schools have long recognized that even if hce brings value, it is impossible to give a standardized...

    NP vs PA

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

    I'll point out a couple of things. The hiring authority is expecting different things from the two professions. This can be seen the prescriptive authority part. The PAs must have prescriptive...

    CRNAs Looking Down on NPs

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

    CRNA pay is about billing. Its the same reason that anesthesiologists make more than internists. Procedure rich specialties can bill and collect more than those that don't. If you look at the medical...

    Where is the DNP at in terms of being required?

    core0 replied to foreverLaur's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I would believe 12k. A three year residency will average around 9000 hours plus another 1700 hours for medical school. Lots less than 24k. David Carpenter,

    So, not everyone thinks highly of NPs.

    core0 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    She's in the UK. Its not just NPs its the whole system. You essentially have to be seen by a specialist to order an MRI. If I remember correctly there are more MRIs in Dallas than in the whole of the...

    core0 replied to foreverLaur's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Just out of curiosity where are you getting that number for clinical hours. I would challenge any specialty outside of maybe CVS or Neurosurgery to come near that. David Carpenter,

    I have a quick question for any NP's out there

    core0 replied to kgh31386's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    On the other hand if the OP was working as an APN doing PICC lines the hospital could actually bill for it. All the people that put in PICCs here are NPs or PAs. Then it would depend on if the OP...

    Patient Warming in Operating Theatres

    core0 replied to scotsnurse72's topic in Operating Room

    Here is a pretty good handout. Look at number 4. Basically with peds it involves room temperature, warm fluids and warming blankets. Overbody units like the Bair Hugger work OK in bigger kids but not...

    NPs/PAs: How do you split overhead costs with MD?

    core0 replied to DaisyRN, ACNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    ohh so many things wrong here. first there is no shared component in a consult. either the physician does all the work themselves and bills for it or they should bill under you. this is probably where...

    I'm sure this is not the first time this question has been posed.

    core0 replied to Sterling-RN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The simple answer is that its economics. The longer answer is that the nursing pay differentials show that the value of nursing is not in the degree. You state that there is no correlation between...

    NPs/PAs: How do you split overhead costs with MD?

    core0 replied to DaisyRN, ACNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    i'm guessing the real problem is that you are not getting all the reimbursement for your hospital work. most inpatient work is done with co-billing. a lot of places put the reimbursement under the...

    NS through peg?

    core0 replied to I_LOVE_TRAUMA's topic in Emergency

    Also orders of magnitude cheaper. Have you looked at what pharmacy charges for a bag of NS vs what CS charges for a bottle of NS. Not a bad way to do things. David Carpenter,

    why do you think ppl go to other countries for kidney transplant?

    core0 replied to k.dilraj's topic in General Nursing

    In the US you may not pay someone else for their Kidney. This is not the case in other countries. Unless someone is highly sensitized (which is extremely uncommon for someone needing their first...

    First of all there are two different questions here. One is can an NP assist in surgery? The answer to this is yes within the boundaries of hospital credentialing and state scope of practice. The...

    Interestingly New Zealand began registering nurses in 1902, they list Ellen Dougherty as the first RN. I believe that the RN was not mandatory in either of these countries to work in nursing....

    how can this happen

    core0 replied to marina17's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    If I am understanding you you replaced a PEG tube through the same tract and the tip of the PEG tube ended up in the lung (and by lung I am assuming you mean pleural space)? I think that this would be...

    NPs/PAs: How do you split overhead costs with MD?

    the share should only be based upon the charges for office visits and the expenses for office visits. the expenses needed to run the cath service should be born by those that make the money off them....

    core0 replied to marina17's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    With IR they insuflate the stomach with an NG like device and then use a needle to enter the stomach from the outside to introduce the PEG. I can see transecting the lung if someone really doesn't...

    how can this happen

    core0 replied to marina17's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I didn't think about it being an NG tube. I've seen really high PEG tubes put in by IR that were right under the ribs. Theoretically it could end up in the lung but that should be apparent. On the...
