    Dave ARNP replied to sharann's topic in Pain Management

    Dave ARNP replied to blake's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'll be the first to admit that I showed some hostility towards PA-C, DO when he first started posting, but you really have to look at what he says. Take a look at some of his points, and you will see...

  10. Wake up...Are you in pain?

    Dave ARNP replied to sharann's topic in Pain Management

    I want my patients woken up. Sleeping is important, but if you ignore their pain needs just to let them sleep, when they do wake up they're going to be in a pain crisis. I order meds so that the next...

  16. Average doseage of conscious sedation while doing endoscopy's

    Dave ARNP replied to lmbv55's topic in Gastroenterology

    I'm going with Stevie on this one. As a RN/NP (ACNP/FNP) I am 100% about showing what nurses can do. However, giving CS is not one of them, unless you're a NP or CRNA. Some people will even exclude NP...
