    Can NPs work as RN's?

    core0 replied to 1nuttynurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    core0 replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    But can you assume all nurses have equal exposure to scenarios and situations just because they have experience. Surely you have seen NP's that are unable to process this information as NP's (unable...

    Any NP's working for Rediclinic or Minuteclinic??

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

    Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

    core0 replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    But that doesn't answer the real question. Is this a valid test. The real problem is that there is relatively little data on what qualifies for "quality care" by either NP's or PA's. An interesting...

    core0 replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

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

    Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

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

    The most recent data doesn't seem to show this. MGMA data from 2005 shows the NP salary at 70k and PA salary at 75-80k. The AAPA data shows the average PA salary at 80k. The real problem with this is...
