  1. Psych CNS's and NP's, Fee for service pay ranges in the northeast

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

    I've never heard of or met a PA who does therapy. Are they really out

  2. Advantages/Disadvantages of NP vs PA

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

    In Psychiatry, also, it seems that NPs (and CNSs with prescriptive privileges) may have an advantage over

  3. Advantages/Disadvantages of NP vs PA

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

    RNs are trained as generalists in nursing. One must be an RN before becoming a nurse practitioner. Therefore, nurse practitioners have generalist training in

  4. done some soul searching, any thoughts?

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

    Yes. Sorry if it seemed like I was trying to make some sort of point. I was really just attempting to provide information since I recognized the program David

  5. done some soul searching, any thoughts?

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

    Yes, it looks like that program is ending their certificate option. But I'm pretty sure that's the "WHNP program that does not give out an MSN" which you were talking about in your earlier

  6. Advantages/Disadvantages of NP vs PA

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

    You don't seem to have any evidence to support your view either (which is also likely based on personal bias). It's also important to remember that nurse practitioners are trained as generalists,...

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

    Here is a link to the program's website:

  8. done some soul searching, any thoughts?

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

    I think it's actually just the Stanford program which is cancelling its NP option. Also, the women's health NP certificate program you mentioned doesn't require an MSN--just RN

  9. Advantages/Disadvantages of NP vs PA

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

    I said better

  10. Advantages/Disadvantages of NP vs PA

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

    I'm betting most of those PAs working in GYN-ONC and Fertility received on the job training. As far as I can tell, there's nothing stopping a WHNP from receiving that same OJT and working in the same...

  11. Advantages/Disadvantages of NP vs PA

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

    That's a pretty obscure example. I believe the fellowship mentioned is the only one of its kind, and accepts only 2 PAs per year. I meant to compare your average PA with your average WHNP. On...

  12. Advantages/Disadvantages of NP vs PA

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

    I think by getting your BSN you've kept some doors open for yourself. If you decide down the road that you'd like to be a Nurse Anesthetist or a Nurse Midwife (non-PA specialties), you will be...

  13. Advantages/Disadvantages of NP vs PA

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

    If, for example, a PA and a WHNP were competing for the same job in an OB/GYN office, might the hiring physician desire the WHNP over the PA since the WHNP would have had more extensive specific...

  14. Advantages/Disadvantages of NP vs PA

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

    I think the fact that PAs are trained as generalists is an advantage and a pro for going that route. I've heard a lot of people say that FNP is the NP specialty which allows the most flexibility....

  15. Who thinks this school is jumping the gun on the DNP?

    ILoveIceCream replied to justme1972's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    why do you think dnp is most likely to be the required entry level degree for fnp but less likely for other

  16. How many APNs in school for DNP???

    ILoveIceCream replied to traumaRUs's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Hopefully I won't get in too much trouble for saying this. :) When I read about DNP programs--the required courses and course descriptions--a lot of it doesn't sound very interesting to me. It seems...

  17. How many APNs in school for DNP???

    ILoveIceCream replied to traumaRUs's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Hi, sirI. Do you think APNs who have been "grandfathered in" will have more difficulty with reimbursement as compared to APNs with DNPs? (once DNP is minimum for

  18. Question about FNP vs NNP

    ILoveIceCream replied to justme1972's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi! I think it's great you're already planning for grad school. If you love peds and you want to go right into an NP program after you graduate, you might want to consider the Pediatric Nurse...

  19. Anyone heard of any NP to MD programs?

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

    Are you working in primary

  20. Anyone heard of any NP to MD programs?

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

    What do you hate about

  21. Dumb question--What do you NPs do?

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

    Hi, BarbaraNP. Can you do all the things a FP doctor can

  22. codes

    ILoveIceCream posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I'm interested in the role of the CRNA during code situations. Does the CRNA order and administer anti-arrhythmics, defibrillate, etc... or does the surgeon "call" the code? What about when the CRNA...

  23. Hospitalist NP

    ILoveIceCream posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Any nurse practitioners out there functioning in a hospitalist role? I'd be interested to hear about your typical day.

  24. Hospitalist NP

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

    Good luck with your new job,

  25. Direct Entry GRADUATE NPs

    ILoveIceCream replied to mvanz9999's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    No...you did say that a specialized NP could not have the expertise of an MD. That was the whole point of your post. AK556 APRN wrote: "I think a specialized NP in anything has a more focused and...
