  1. Psych/Mental Health NP

    ANPFNPGNP replied to NPs4health's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Very interesting. I live in TX and supposedly we're independent, but not really, since we also have to have a signed collaborative practice agreement and another form signed for prescribing CS's....

  2. Family nurse practitioner salary in Memphis,TN

    ANPFNPGNP replied to marvinskbaby1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I should clarify something, the clinic where I worked had a significant number of patients who were drug seekers. They were seen jumping out of their cars and running up to the door of the clinic,...

  3. Nurses, physicians weigh in on new doctoral nurse degree

    ANPFNPGNP replied to Brian's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    A chiropractor can not practice medicine in any state. If you want to continue working in your current capacity and practice medicine, then go to DO school - you have a jump start. Then you can do...

  4. Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

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

    Only a physician can admit patients to nursing homes in this state, so there isn't a kickback scheme going on. The NP has her own company and the doctors have contracted with her to see their nursing...

  5. Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

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

    The PA and NP were not employees, but independent contractors. The doctors had a problem with the PA being an "independent contractor," yet the practice was having to pay the PA upfront and do the...

  6. Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

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

    I can assure you that I know plenty of PA's who are practicing with an associate's or bachlor's degree only. So, that's MORE education than a NP with a Master's degree? That doesn't even make sense!...

  7. Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

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

    What do you mean...name calling?? There IS a difference in the titles, one is an assistant and the other is a practitioner. The IM practice lost money by paying the PA "up front" and then waiting...

  8. Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

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

    If you think PA training is so much better, then why are you "supposedly" in a NP program? I can tell you this, I certainly wasn't able to work full time during my training. I'm board certified in 3...

  9. Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

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

    You will always have to be supervised by a doctor - you are a doctor's ASSISTANT and not an independent practitioner! A PA friend of mine saw nursing home patients for a large IM group and they...

  10. Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

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

    I know, it's funny how the PA's on this forum talk about their "superior" clinical training - give me a break! I have several PA friends and they all said they barely got their feet wet during their...

  11. Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

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

    Are you forgetting the more than 2 years of fulltime experience a NICU RN is required to have BEFORE even getting accepted into a NNP program? There is no way a PA can come close to that, unless they...

  12. Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

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

    Considering the fact that NNP have several years of experience with neonates before even going to NNP school, I would HATE being a PA going up against

  13. Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

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

    no, pa's can't own clinics in every state, they can't do it in texas. just b/c a physician isn't on site, doesn't mean the midlevel isn't being supervised. there is not one single state where a pa...

  14. Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

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

    This isn't true. There are some states that allow NP's to practice completely independent of physician oversight - meaning NO chart audits, etc! Most states won't allow NP's to practice...

  15. A physican where I work called a patient a "FAT PIG!"

    ANPFNPGNP replied to JomoNurse's topic in General Nursing

    This incident should be reported to the your state's medical board. In Texas, I've seen doctors who were fined $1,000+ for this type of behavior. They are usually mandated to take anger management...

  16. Need post masters PNP online????

    ANPFNPGNP replied to shannons1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    A FNP can absolutely work in outpatient pedes! I would recommend that you get the FNP over the PNP. The reason I say this is because I didn't want to work with kids, so I specialized in adults....

    ANPFNPGNP replied to TakeBack's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    NO, that did NOT prove anything! I want to see

  21. Don't Hate Me, All....

    ANPFNPGNP replied to TakeBack's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Show me a study that PROVES that PA patient outcomes are SUPERIOR to NP's! Show me a study that PROVES that PA education is SUPERIOR to NP's! PROVE

  22. Don't Hate Me, All....

    ANPFNPGNP replied to TakeBack's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What??? Why don't you go to "Pub-Med" and pull up all the studies that have appeared in JAMA that compare NP/physician patient outcomes. Are you saying that not ONE study out of all those studies...

  23. Don't Hate Me, All....

    ANPFNPGNP replied to TakeBack's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Are you kidding me - EVERY PA program is BETTER than EVERY NP program? GIVE ME A BREAK! I spent 1,800 clinical hours in grad/post grad school and I can run rings around any PA I know in internal...

  24. Do most NPs start working after licensure?

    ANPFNPGNP replied to msmith's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I don't understand how you can get NP malpractice insurance without being licensed as a NP. Is there NP student insurance available? I've never heard of that. I thought there was either RN or NP...

  25. Don't Hate Me, All....

    ANPFNPGNP replied to TakeBack's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You are totally wrong. I can already think of 4 programs right off the top of my head that don't require a Master's degree! There's Miami Dade Community College, some school in South Dakota, Texas...
