    AGACNP

    Corey Narry replied to LucidMonkeyCCRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It's hard to answer that question because I see both types of NP's in out-patient Cardiology. I also see Primary Care AG NP's in the role. Cardiology as a specialty is almost always going to be...

    Michigan NP schools

    Corey Narry replied to rulajay's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Are you set on Adult-Gero Primary Care? That can be quite limiting in my opinion for someone who has not worked as a nurse not because you have no nursing experience but because you haven't built a...

    "Residency" before completed certification

    Corey Narry replied to KitRN33's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am not a PMHNP so I am not familiar with how Psych Notes are written. However, in traditional Evaluation and Management notes that I am used to, a provider can sign off on a note written by a...

    ACNPC-AG in a nursing home (new grad)

    Corey Narry replied to LTmurse78's topic in Advanced Practice

    Sometimes you just have to take what's available. As far as being able to transition out to a more high acuity specialty, it would depend on how long you've been in a specific role. I started out at a...

    Non-nurse to MSN

    Corey Narry replied to newtonursing55's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You'll have to closely examine details for each direct entry MSN program available. Direct entry MSN just means they admit non-nurses with a Bachelor's in another area and award a MS in Nursing at the...

    Quality of Online NP Programs and Providers

    Corey Narry replied to ProgressiveThinking's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am not fluent in Spanish nor can I even speak a rudimentary form of it but I've never had a problem finding a job here. There is an advantage to being a Spanish-speaking provider and maybe even more...

    CA NPs. have you seen bill text for AB890?

    Corey Narry replied to AddictionNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm not surprised that California would come up with such a proposal that adds regulation and creates just as much bureaucratic red tape as the existing NPA. California, of course, followed the lead...

    Why The Future of NP Practice Maybe A Two Edged Sword

    Corey Narry replied to All4NursingRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    For what role though? a Psych NP? a Hospitalist NP? That's really all NP's can "infiltrate" and have the same exact role as a physician. In fact even the Hospitalist role can be a stretch. Some...

    Why The Future of NP Practice Maybe A Two Edged Sword

    Corey Narry replied to All4NursingRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    Well hospitals are also governed by Medical Staff boards that are typically run by senior physician leadership with a CMO leading the pack. That's going to be a hurdle for NP's in some institutions to...

    Why The Future of NP Practice Maybe A Two Edged Sword

    Corey Narry replied to All4NursingRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    Early in our development as providers, NP's were being presented as a "cost-effective" alternative to physicians. I believe this is the reason for the 85% billing as opposed to the 100% that...

    Best Paying States and Cities for NPs

    Quality of Online NP Programs and Providers

    Corey Narry replied to ProgressiveThinking's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think there should be a push for standardization of training across all programs with close oversight by the accreditation board. I can only go by what I see in the acute care side. I've been an...

    Quality of Online NP Programs and Providers

    Corey Narry replied to ProgressiveThinking's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    There were initiatives by individuals who were concerned about the lack of support to NP students in some schools when it comes to securing clinical placements. A group of individuals were successful...

    Why The Future of NP Practice Maybe A Two Edged Sword

    Corey Narry replied to All4NursingRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    Yes, corporate interests will favor physicians because the private practice model is still prevalent in US hospitals. In this model, private physician groups seek hospital privileges and bill for...

    Why The Future of NP Practice Maybe A Two Edged Sword

    Corey Narry replied to All4NursingRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    From my perspective and experience, I don't really see myself as underpaid compared to the attending. It's true that we all work in the ICU and do the same types of stuff in terms of management and...

    Transferring license to California - Which method??

    Corey Narry replied to etoile88's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You still need to have your school fill out the form. Skip the box that asks for an NP license. Get this done now because after the 5 year limit, you would have to provide additional documentation. Be...

    Streamlined Adult Gerontology Acute Care NP Post-Graduate

    Corey Narry replied to Rex_Rudolph_III_APRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I know 3 grads of the program out here in CA. Seems really doable especially since your work is your clinical placement. I'm not sure if these people I know were interested in additional skills since...

    Psych NPs working in California, what is your salary?

    Corey Narry replied to ToFNPandBeyond's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If 175K a year = $93/hr (based on a 36-hr week), over here where I work, that would be a Nurse II with 30 years experience or a Nurse III with 20 years experience. However, it only takes an NP II 4.5...

    AGACNP

    Corey Narry replied to LucidMonkeyCCRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Out-patient Cardiology, Nephrology, GI, or ID is not primary care. I know that in some instances, these specialists deal with primary care issues but that does not make them primary care practices...

    Corey Narry replied to ProgressiveThinking's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree that we've been beating this dead horse of an issue forever. The NP world is more complex than the CRNA field. We have various NP tracks, various national NP boards that certify us, various...

    Transferring license to California - Which method??

    Corey Narry replied to etoile88's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You absolutely should say yes if you received certification from either AANP, ANCC, AACN, PNCB, or NCC. That's what that question is asking. California approves in-state NP programs individually and...

    Silicon Valley/Bay Area NP jobs/salaries

    Corey Narry replied to NPOaftermidnight's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Kaiser does have only a few openings these days for NP's. They seem to be split on the PA-NP preference. Children's Hospital Oakland was acquired by UCSF in 2014. I would assume that their NP's...

    Silicon Valley/Bay Area NP jobs/salaries

    Corey Narry replied to NPOaftermidnight's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Kaiser NP's are members of CNA, the nurses' union. They have a set salary schedule based on the current CNA contract. The salary is determined based on your years of experience as an NP. In the...

    Critical care patients in emergency room

    Corey Narry replied to diane e's topic in General Nursing

    Based on California's mandated nurse to patient staffing law, your daughter shouldn't have 1 critically ill patient and 3 other non-critically ill patients. The rule for ED's is 1 nurse to 2 ICU level...

    Just Say “NO” to Nurse Staffing Laws

    Corey Narry replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    These have not happened at all in my experience working in California for the last 10 years and comparing that to the previous 14 years I worked somewhere else. There is no nursing shortage in...
