    ILoveIceCream posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I was wondering if there is any advantage to being an ACNP versus a PA in adult acute care. I can see how, in states where NPs have independent practice, being a primary care NP versus a primary care...

  2. NP/MPH

    ILoveIceCream posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    ILoveIceCream posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  13. call

    ILoveIceCream posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What does it mean to be "on call" as a primary care NP? When I think of after-hours primary care complaints, I imagine patients going to an urgent care or ER. This is not always the case?

  19. liability

    ILoveIceCream posted a topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I've heard a lot of nurses recently saying something to the effect of "I would never want to be a CNM...too much liability and expensive malpractice." Is this an accurate assessment?

  23. Anyone a WHNP and CNM

    ILoveIceCream replied to tracie0305's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

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

    Hi, You mentioned PAs in your post. I'm curious...does your NICU utilize PAs? If so, what is their role, and how does it differ from that of the NNPs?
