  1. Interesting Physician Perspective On NPs

    AbeFrohman replied to PMFB-RN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    There is a lot wrong with NP and PA scope of practice in the south, particularly Alabama, which has the most restricted scope of any state in the nation for NPs. Louisiana won't allow CRNAs to...

  2. Interesting Physician Perspective On NPs

    AbeFrohman replied to PMFB-RN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Glad to see so many defending PAs on here. We need to realize that PAs and NPs can do so much more together. They both have their faults and points of excellence in different places, which culminate...

  3. Name and scope of NP/PA's

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

    The current thought model on how PAs can become independent is through CAQ (certification of additional qualifications), which has only come out in the last few years and there isn't one for every...

  4. Name and scope of NP/PA's

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

    Absolutely. NPs and PAs can come a lot further together than apart. As for the PA name change, it would help PAs be taken more seriously by insurance, executives, and legislators. Many specialist PAs,...

  6. NP's in the Military

    AbeFrohman replied to FNP-2-BE's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You can also look at this file : Clinical Quality Management It will tell you a great about almost every type of provider in the

  7. NP's in the Military

    AbeFrohman replied to FNP-2-BE's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Note, you can be deployed as a med/surg RN, or other RN as your experience dictates, while being a military NP. This should help out. It is dated, but still holds mostly true. : Expanding the role of...

  8. Change of Name.

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

    First, the Nurse Practitioner name has been publicized quite a bit and it would be detrimental to PR if a change were to happen. Maybe not the end of the world, but it would just add a hurdle....

  9. Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP): My Personal Pro's and Con's

    AbeFrohman replied to Corey Narry's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    The army offers a DSc in PA studies that coincides with a EM or Ortho residency. Other branches have the residencies in place and are working to implement the DSc. This was done mainly to allow for...

  10. Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP): My Personal Pro's and Con's

    AbeFrohman replied to Corey Narry's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    There is nothing wrong with an associate degree PA. All associate degree PA programs require minimum 4,000 hours of prior, high level experience (nurse, emt, rt) and most are in the 10,000 range. So...

  11. American Academy of Family Physicians thoughts on NPs

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

    True with the exception of why they created PAs. PAs actually existed before NPs, albeit only by a year or so. Now AAs, they were created in opposition of CRNAs. That may be where you getting...

  12. Any NP schools in FL with good medical science foundation?

    AbeFrohman replied to mrmedical's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Dude, as long as you have a 3.0, go for it. I made almost all B's in nursing school and I'm going to PA school after getting some HCE in critical care. I had good science GPA as well. Caspa does count...

  13. Amerian Association of Critical Care Nurses

    AbeFrohman replied to love-d-OR's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    No CRNA keeps their CCRN certification. At least none that I have met, and I guarantee if I still had mine they would have laughed at

  14. So I got rejected from NP school...

    AbeFrohman replied to ChristineAdrianaRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    4.0 GPA average for the class? You realize how much of a statistical improbability that is right? Either half the class went to schools where they gave higher than a 4.0 (which is not the norm of...

  15. So I got rejected from NP school...

    AbeFrohman replied to ChristineAdrianaRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Here's what happened.. Admission Director:"Where's the pile of applicants that met the minimum requirements?" Secretary: "On the left side of your desk." Admission Director:"How many are we taking...

    AbeFrohman posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Read the source here Jeff Susman, MD Editor-in-Chief [email protected] It is time--time to abandon our damagingly divisive, politically Pyrrhic, and ultimately unsustainable struggle with advanced...

  20. working fulltime and school full time

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

    I actually did it with their curriculum for a while. All A's and one B, but I'm not going to say it was easy. I've known others to do it as well, but most go part time with either their job or...

  21. Anesthesiologists being replaced by CRNAs???

    AbeFrohman replied to MONEJA783's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  25. FNP practicing as a Neonatal NP?

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

    I have to agree with nomad. Technically speaking an FNP can do what a NNP does. It would be an uphill battle to be able to do procedures like circumcision, but if you found someone willing to train...
