    Do CRNAs perform transesophageal echocardiography? I read somewhere that this can part of the anesthesia provider's responsibilities? Thank

    ILoveIceCream replied to ILoveIceCream's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Thanks for your response. Is cardiac anesthesia common among CRNAs or is it more common for an anesthesiologist (physician) to administer? From what I've read, it sounds like CRNAs practicing...

  7. How to become a nurse practitioner

    ILoveIceCream replied to indoamerican's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I actually think the way you're doing it is a good option. If you did an entry level MSN with an NP option it would probably take 3 years. If your MSN-CNL program is 18 months, and you do a 12-month...

  8. How to become a nurse practitioner

    ILoveIceCream replied to indoamerican's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hello, I'm not an NP, but I've researched lots of programs and options. When you finish your program, I believe you will be eligible to enter a post-masters certificate program which would allow you...

  9. I've always wanted to know what the difference is

    ILoveIceCream replied to Joe NightingMale's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Maybe you are wondering what the difference is as far as what one is able to do versus the other? I think in situations where the FNP is most autonomous, he/she can function very much like a Family...

  10. Certified in two specialties?

    ILoveIceCream replied to TWUSN10's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi, Smitty08. I'm curious about how you combined the specialties of psych and family health. I have often thought dual certification as an FNP and PMHNP would be a powerful combo. Can you write...

  11. Changed My Mind

    ILoveIceCream replied to CraigB-RN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm curious...do you mind sharing what you don't like about being an FNP? Thanks.

  12. done some soul searching, any thoughts?

    ILoveIceCream replied to Cardiac-RN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    So you're saying that the extra classes needed to get a master's in physician assistant studies (pharm, research, and thesis)--probably at least 10 credits--is do-able, but the extra classes to get a...

  13. done some soul searching, any thoughts?

    ILoveIceCream replied to Cardiac-RN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You've got to remember that they've COMBINED the PA and FNP curriculum. It's not like you're doing double duty. It doesn't seem much different from a straight PA program which issues a master's...

  14. done some soul searching, any thoughts?

    ILoveIceCream replied to Cardiac-RN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I contacted the UC Davis FNP/PA program to find out more information. It actually only takes two years to complete the program and receive an MSN-FNP and a PA certificate. They have an option to...

  15. Women's Health NP for me?

    ILoveIceCream replied to sargentrn's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If it were me, I think I'd go with ANP since you can practice Women's Health with that specialty, too, and ANP gives you a broader training (more job opportunities?) Just my :) Best of

  16. Loans- How much were your CRNA school loans?

    ILoveIceCream replied to Mannursemike's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Are there any other schools out there which are as affordable as

  17. Neonatal NP info?

    ILoveIceCream replied to Jade_Nolan's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Here's a list of NNP programs from the AANP website. I'm not sure when it was last updated, though (I know UCSF has an NNP program but it's not on this list). Best of luck!...

  18. NP or PA which is right for me?

    ILoveIceCream posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm currently a BSN student and I will be graduating next year. Ever since I started nursing school, my goal has been to become a nurse practitioner. However, recently I've been wondering if...

  21. done some soul searching, any thoughts?

    ILoveIceCream replied to Cardiac-RN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    David, What do you think of the UC Davis program as it is now (with the added MSN content for FNP/PA grads)? It sounds pretty neat--graduating with eligibility to work as either an FNP or a

  22. what made you decide to be a NP?

    ILoveIceCream replied to celclt's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    ILoveIceCream replied to Forrest Forrest Gump's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm curious whether there have ever been studies conducted comparing patient outcomes for CRNAs with minimal RN critical care experience and those with abundant experience. I feel like such research...

  24. what is wrong with this advisor? Power trip?

    ILoveIceCream replied to lannisz's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Definitely a power trip! I'm so sorry this is happening to you. Here's what I would do if I were in your shoes: Talk with one of your professors--someone you trust and with whom you feel...

    ILoveIceCream replied to MApsychCNS's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    Interesting. I didn't know about the PsyD/PA trend. The APPAP website lists the Cherokee Mental Health Institute postgraduate PA program in psych. Where is the second
