  1. IOM recommendations...

    AbeFrohman replied to Corey Narry's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What do you not agree, if you don't mind me asking? I'm personally confused on the nurse residency section. Do they mean for RNs, APNs, or both? I thought it was APN and RN until I heard the authors...

  2. FNP in hospital

    AbeFrohman posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Does anyone know of or have a list of states that allow/don't allow an FNP to practice in the acute setting? I'm under the impression that some states will not allow an FNP to work as a hospitalist or...

  3. Current Post-Grads: How many credit hours could you take while working full time?

    AbeFrohman replied to Samian Q's topic in Post Graduate Students

    When I was working on my ACNP, I did full time work and full time school for the first semester. Some weeks sucked and I did nothing but work and study, some weeks I felt it was pretty easy. When next...

  4. Orthopaedic Nurse Practioner Program?

    AbeFrohman replied to melodys's topic in Post Graduate Students

    There is no specialty track in ortho or a certification exam in it. Go to NP school, do rotations with ortho in it, get a job in ortho. That's all there

  5. Tips for arterial sticks?

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

    Agree with wtb on everything. Also, where do you work that an RN places an arterial

  6. ACLS

    AbeFrohman replied to Dixiecup's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    ACLS is easy. Unless they are requiring you to have it and not paying for it then I don't see a

  7. FNP to CRNA

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

    Well, that's the path you decided to take. Can't fault nursing education for that, it allows people multiple entry paths and speeds. Plus it's not really the whole truth to say "it took me 6 years"...

  8. Spin off: how do you deal with DNP haters.

    AbeFrohman replied to linearthinker's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    First let me say I am all for the advancement of the nursing profession. I might not always agree with it's direction, but I always want it going up. Second...Wow... That was the most pompous, pious,...

  9. FNP to CRNA

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

    You are doing the math very wrong Sam. It's 2 years prereqs, then 2 years of nursing school for a BSN, not 2 prereq then 4. Where did you even get that? And it's 3 years part time for NP. Vandy's...

  10. To CRNA's where would you rate your stress level on a scale of 0 to 10.

    AbeFrohman replied to IowafemaleRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    That depends on a lot of factors. Current procedure going on, type of practice, level of experience as an anesthetist, stress in school, etc. The overall stress level is very high. There are plenty of...

  11. Make Advanced Practice Nurses Independent

    AbeFrohman replied to Pete495's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The fact is wowza, they are getting these rights because there are studies showing their efficacy. while nursing has a powerful lobby, the medical lobbies would be plenty strongto shut down any...

  12. PA's trying to be included in NP act

    AbeFrohman replied to pedspnp's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If we knew what was meant by "NP act" it could probably be more easily interpreted, but as it stands out of context (as in trying to achieve separation from supervision) then it's

  13. FNP in hospital

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

    I appreciate all your replies, but my questions is what states allow/dont allow fnp doing inpatient. I have the rest figured

  14. CRNA clinical Hours

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

    There is no minimum hours required, only minimum required number of different case/procedure types (ie 700 general anesthetics, 100 subarachnoid blocks,

  15. Is APN realistic at my age?

    AbeFrohman replied to Mudwoman's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Unless your money somehow becomes worthless in old age then I don't think it matters to the NP

  16. FNP in hospital

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

    Thanks for the replies. Coreo, I know hospital by laws may be a barrier, but it's easier to narrow down places to look by starting with the states. Also I have high level inpatient experience so I'm...

  17. Can someone hold both a CRNA and MD license?

    AbeFrohman replied to anesthes4's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Yes, you can use your premed credits to become a PA and they'll love that you have past medical experience. But there is going to be alot of redundancy here. As a CRNA you'll already have taken...

  18. Can someone hold both a CRNA and MD license?

    AbeFrohman replied to anesthes4's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Ill be brief. Legally, yes. Actually, no. Think about it. One year minimum as ICU RN, 2.5 years CRNA, year to apply to med school, 4 years med school, 4 year (not sure on that) residency. Can't work...

  19. Admitting Privileges

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

    On advance for NP/PA, there is a survey report that indicates at least 7 of those surveyed had admitting privileges. So it exist somewhere, perhaps they admit and the MD just signs off on it somewhere...

  20. Starling's Law of the capillary

    AbeFrohman replied to sunkissed75's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If you want to understand about starlings law of heart contraction, think of a thick rubber balloon. Fill that balloon up with a little water so that it stretches just a little. When you release the...

  21. Difference between CAD and ACS

    AbeFrohman replied to xbellaxbabyx212's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Acute Coronary Syndrome is an umbrella term used to cover any group of clinical symptoms compatible with acute myocardial ischemia.* Acute myocardial ischemia is chest pain due to insufficient blood...

  22. Starling's Law of the capillary

    AbeFrohman replied to sunkissed75's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    What?! No wonder you are confused. You are mixing starlings law of the capillaries with starlings law of heart contraction. Very different

  24. Utah surgeons against AA's

    AbeFrohman replied to CPhT2RNstudent's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Physicians that were not interested in performing anesthesia at that time because it was not a diagnostic or treatment service. It merely allowable optimal conditions for the treatment to be carried...
