    Anyone heard you are going to need ACNP to work in hospitals?? Help!

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

    This is the quote that I am seeing: Unlike physician assistants, nurse practitioners are already directly licensed as professionals, and as such, are legally accountable for their actions. While...

    Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

    core0 replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I will agree with your statements on nursing. Nursing is far more than taking temperatures and passing medications. I usually talk to the nurse before seeing the patient in the hospital. This is an...

    Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

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

    Yes Celebrex and Vioxx may have caused some deaths. But arthritis is very debilitating and the other options that we have carry other risks. Yes AZT and antiretrovirals cause side effects - but I was...

    Latex Allergy

    The policies around here are different. They either need a documented airway problem - preferably by anesthesia or a positive latex IgA rast. Othewise No ticket no ride. The cost of doing all these...

    Should FNP be required for all APN's?

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

    Part of it depends on what you want to do with your degree. I will admit I am not as familar with the scope of practice for psych NP as some of the others, however, NONPF competencies talk about...

    Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

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

    Yes herbal therapies and non-western therapies exist. The problem is the claims made are not backed by scientific data. Anything can be "proven" anectdotally. We have been down this road before. At...

    No offense, I did my OB-GYN rotation. Did some pelvics, delivered some baby's NEVER want to do that again. Glad someone likes it. Not my cup of tea:smilecoffeecup:. The problem seems to be the overlap...

    NP in Gastroenterology

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

    I can't speak for NP practice, but what I like is the variety. We have 8 docs and 4 PA's so you are exposed to a lot of different practice styles. It helps that they are all decent people. We do see a...

    Latex Allergy

    core0 replied to kleinbbc's topic in Operating Room

    The real question should be was this a real latex allergy. There are lots of people that have a "latex allergy" but it is really a latex sensitivity. I work in GI and if we have a real latex allergy...

    NP in Gastroenterology

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

    Not an NP but work in GI. I know a couple of NP's working in other groups. It really depends on the environment. In one of the practices the NP only does inpatient medicine. In the other groups they...

    States NPs can work independently

    This really needs to be updated and stickied. Looking at my notes and the ACNP site here are the states that NP's can practice without any physician involvement (please post any corrections here):...

    Should FNP be required for all APN's?

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

    Peripherally involved is the concept being considered by the NCSBN. https://www.ncsbn.org/Draft_APRN_Vision_Paper.pdf The concept is that all they do away with CNS and all NP's are trained in a...

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

    Consider one of the DNP programs. I'm not sure if they have one yet for peds, but in theory you could do the base PNP program and then do your extra work in Peds critical care. The 1000 hours should...

    Truly Independent NP's/APRN's

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

    Having done some expert witness work (and I'm sure Siri can chime in) even having a collaboration agreement will be enough to get a physician on a lawsuit. With the cap on pain and suffering there is...

    Anyone heard of any NP to MD programs?

    once again your mileage may vary. it really depends on the acuity of the clinic and the patient population. i do agree that this is one of the problems with certain educational programs. it is the...

    Anyone heard of any NP to MD programs?

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

    I agree with you line of thought. I do think that your reasoning behind it is somewhat flawed. There is ample room for NPP's to work in specialty practice. The model is different than for primary...

    Is there a transition program to PA to NP?

    core0 replied to tab65's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    i would agree that the cost is reasonable. the fee is one way of doing things. what arc-pa really wants is someone to monitor the program. here is the appropriate citation: a3.02 the program must...

    Is there a transition program to PA to NP?

    core0 replied to tab65's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    No this is the only one. It does have two sites. There is a PA program in ND that was only for RN's. It has a somewhat dubious reputation and due to some changes in program requirements is going...
