    Beng told not to become an NP!

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

    You have an interesting dilemma. Unsolicited advice (as a non NP) is that first you have to make a decision whether or not to do CRNA. This is sufficiently different than your other choices that this...

    Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

    core0 replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Its like we used to say about Army medicine; its a good system if your not sick;). It does well with self limiting conditions (those that respond to benign neglect). It also does well with acute...

    Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

    core0 replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You have obviously missed my cake and steroids lecture. If they come in sick give them cake (or steroids). If they come back give them the other one. This actually goes to the fact that most...

    Any MBAs out there?

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

    You might want to post this question in the nursing management forum (actually someone else asked the same question recently). https://allnurses.com/forums/f67/ I thought there was a nursing...

    core0 replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    i would maintain that compared to traditional np programs this is young (at least from personal observation). whether this is good or bad i really have no opinion. the one good point of the de is that...

    Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

    core0 replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Little bit of a rant here. I will state that I have some interest in the NP profession in terms of competition but my concerns come from a medical delivery standpoint. The APN educational model has...

    Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

    core0 replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    you state you are united in the fact that you are nurses while stating that nursing experience is not valuable or useful (to paraphrase your initial statement). nursing is united by a common...

    Coding help?

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

    It depends on if you are doing any debridement. There is a separate code for port removal and you should charge the CPT code for that. For wound care you would charge the appropriate code for the...

    My 1st colonoscopy - draping & pain questions

    core0 replied to carolla's topic in Gastroenterology

    If I am reading the thread right you have never had Versed or a colonoscopy? I don't understand your aversion to Versed. There are more than 10,000 colonoscopies done every day, the great majority of...

    Acute Care - flexible?

    core0 replied to raquel571's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It depends on how the internal medicine practice functions. Some function as consultants for complex adult medical problems and some function as FP without peds. The ANCC defines the scope as: "The...

    Nurse Practitioner Speciality And Job Limitations

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

    I think that the nursing compact will eventually mandate standardization for those states that participate. The main problem is that there is no enforcement of the training standards right now by...

    Nurse Practitioner Speciality And Job Limitations

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

    The Texas board of nursing has been pretty active in this area in the last six months. They told one of the Texas Childrens hospital that the FNPs there were outside of their scope of practice to do...

    Liver tumor- question

    core0 replied to daisybaby's topic in Gastroenterology

    Allnurses does not give medical advice and advises you to see your health care provider (thats what the mod will say). That being said I would be happy to talk about liver lesions in general (but not...

    Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

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

    Since you trained at the home of the Physician Assistant Profession I am sure you can provide citations for the claims that you made. Let me help you. From the NC regulations: "Q: In what form may PAs...

    Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    core0 replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I think my views are fairly well known. I think that for many NPs the current educational model is flawed (something that some members of the state BONs agree with at least in part). I am in support...

    Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    core0 replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I think that all of the DNP programs are still feeling their way through this. Unfortunately some program will probably give their students a DNP with a non nursing masters or no masters as part of...

    Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    core0 replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    So you receive an MSN after 2 years and DNP after the third? My mistake, then. Your post implied that you would not receive an MSN on your way to the DNP. David Carpenter,

    Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    core0 replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I'm curious how you can sit for your NP without a Masters. The ANCC requires a Masters, Post-Masters or Doctorate from a Nurse Practitioner program. If the program does not grant a Masters how are you...

    Why not have done PA???

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

    From what I have seen of BSN programs I do not think that you are talking about the same depth. Remember that even if the PA student does not have a degree they still need basic sciences such as...

    Is Emory's Nursing School worth the extremely high tuition??

    I actually though psych and L&D were the most "real" nursing out there. Nursing has become extremely technical and there is little chance any more to do nursing interventions in many environments....

    Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    core0 replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    The state BONs are working on a national nursing compact. The thought is that any nursing license in one state in good standing would be valid in another state. They are fairly far along for RNs. They...

    Why not have done PA???

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

    I'll give the PA perspective. PAs are the generalists. Very much like the old GPs. PA training has to prepare the PA for any field of medicine. 25% of PAs work in surgery, 35% of so work in specialty...

    We're happy to let you guys soldier on with this one. I would also point out that the major impetus for this is coming from nursing. Particularly NONPF and the state BONs. It will not necessarily...
