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

    what i was referring to was the nursing specialties. these are different than medical specialties and have different limitations. the fnp model was not conceived to provide healthcare for inpatients...

    What are the roles of FNPs in hospitals?

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

    No I think that there is a role for them in Hospitalist medicine and in academic centers where there is less concern over reimbursement. In specialty medical practice and especially surgery there is...

    Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

    core0 replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    There are essentially two (or three) options after a BSN. A traditional MSN usually has either a teaching or management focus. The other option is an APN which may be a MSN but sometimes has a...

    Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

    core0 replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    In theory NP competency builds on nursing experience. The reason that MD's don't need pretraining is that they have 4 years of coursework in medicine and a minimum of three years in residency to...

    What are the roles of FNPs in hospitals?

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

    I think that it points out the difficulty of trying to force a nursing model on a medical world. This is probably the primary reason that PA's tend to dominate the surgery market. The real problem I...

    Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

    core0 replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Umm if you are equating four years of med school and a minimum of three years of residency with NP programs you really should examine this. David Carpenter,

    I am not sure I understand you here. What do you mean by a direct entry MD? Are you referring to someone who hasn't finished internship? David Carpenter,

    What are the roles of FNPs in hospitals?

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

    I agree that an inpatient setting is the proper role for an ACNP. There are many FNP working in inpatient settings. However, I see this as becoming increasing restricted due to the prescence of the...

    What are the roles of FNPs in hospitals?

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

    I would agree, but this may not be what the physicians are looking for. In private practice the hospital part is more quality of life and harder to quantify as far an monetary reimbursement. With a...

    What are the roles of FNPs in hospitals?

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

    At least locally I see some changes on the way NP's are treated in the hosptials. Some of this seems to be anesthesia driven and is catching NP's in the crossfire. The other part is the reason that...

    Why the salary difference?

    core0 replied to DST2RN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    CRNA's get paid more for the same reason that Anesthesiologists get paid more than internal medicine. The billing. A CRNA can pull in 400k+ billings with almost no overhead. This is more than an...

    What are the roles of FNPs in hospitals?

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

    I'm guessing that there is some overlap in the didactic portion of the ACNP and FNP. The ortho part is interesting. Do they scrub? We don't see NP's around here in the OR (one actually). Part of the...

    What are the roles of FNPs in hospitals?

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

    Sorry I was referring to a medical specialty such as endocrinology. The one ACNP that has applied got privleges, and an FNP that had hospital experience got privleges. The problem is for new grads. I...

    What are the roles of FNPs in hospitals?

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

    The thing that you don't address here is the hospital credentialling. Locally hospitals are denying FNP's (and ANP's) credentialling for inpatient services. Their standpoint is that the FNP cannot...

    Fundoplications in children

    core0 replied to AmericanChai's topic in Gastroenterology

    I have a hard time believing that anyone would consider a fundo without a scope. Around here the minimum would be 24 hour pH and an EGD. In adults you want manometry also. Good luck with the EE. The...

    Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

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

    That was a far cry from the ND here. I was almost like it was a deliberate attempt by the nursing faculty to alienate every nurse in the state. The way the program worked was that you could only apply...

    I agree with this. The one place that I see a difference in is surgery. This is really a young person's field. I worked in the OR in my 30's. I am not sure that I could keep up anymore in my 40's....
