  1. NP Boards & PAs

    thanks good to

  2. My moms CABG

    TakeBack replied to butterflie28's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Your hospital should look into fast track extubation. Negative outcomes with prolonged ventilation and sedation. ~75% of my pts are extubated within 6

  3. NP Boards & PAs

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

    1. If it's true than it is worth getting riled up, on both sides 2. It may seem silly but for some specialties it is a strong turf war in which there are no real winners. If each profession could...

  4. My moms CABG

    TakeBack replied to butterflie28's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    She has significant risk factors, but all things considered she should still be able to get through with a strong recovery. The general mortality for isolated CABG is ~1-3%, and her risk profile is...

  5. NP Boards & PAs

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

    There no such thing on PANCE or PANRE. It doesn't surprise me that the PA hadn't heard of it. There are plenty of NPs here, so I would imagine that if it were true in any context, someone could...

  6. PA's make more $$ than NP's?!

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

    It's not discrimination in the legal sense, of course. But when you step back to the HR mindset- which equivocates degree with competence- it will undoubtedly filter out highly qualified candidates...

  7. NP Boards & PAs

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

    Well it is interesting either way. The PA initial boards and all recert boards ll focus on clinical medicine. There is no coverage of these Professional Topics (not sure if that's a good or bad...

  9. PA's make more $$ than NP's?!

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

    The bigger issue is what are we doing to the applicant pool by creating a situation, as you describe it, that favors inflated inexperience over the

  10. CVP catheter confirmation question

    TakeBack replied to aquaphone's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    With the common use of US guidance for central line placement you will not see ANYONE in the US using agitated saline or ECG to verify central lines. 1. US 2. CXR 3. Manometry/pressure transduction 4....

  11. PA's make more $$ than NP's?!

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

    As was mentioned before, the PRIMARY reason why overall national average salaries are higher for PAs is b/c of the greater portion of PAs in higher paying specialites/surgery. There is regional...

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

    Unfortunate discrimination. Expect nothing less from HR

  13. Difference between cardiac tamponade and tension pneumothorax

    TakeBack replied to 2mochas's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Both are forms of obstructive shock and result in elevated filling pressures (CVP, PAP) and cardiogenic shock (low CO). They also are seen under similar circumstances (trauma, cardiac surgery, etc)...

  15. Should I go Physician's Assistant or Nurse Practitioner in KY?

    TakeBack replied to jaredsgirl's topic in General Nursing

    So I'll start off being a jerk and tell you it's Physician Assistant, no 's. But I guess if I called an NP a nurse I could get a similar reaction. Second, PAs work in professional association with...

  16. Should I go Physician's Assistant or Nurse Practitioner in KY?

    TakeBack replied to jaredsgirl's topic in General Nursing

    Autonomy is similar for both in the most common setting- hospital based or physician/group owned practice. The percentages that go into independently owned practice are similar between NP and PA. Laws...

  17. differences between PA and NP?

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

    this is a link to a list created by one of our members at PA forum. It's several yrs old but you can see the general even split between require/encourage/don't require....

  18. differences between PA and NP?

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

    PAs have their own license, they don't practice "under" any license except their own. They work under a co-signed practice agreement with a supervising/sponsoring

  19. differences between PA and NP?

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

    PAs practice under indirect supervision most of the time, meaning on the same campus, available by phone/telecom etc. This is best seen in remote/underserved areas where PAs are solo providers, where...

  20. differences between PA and NP?

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

    There's good numbers on this at Advance for NP/PA. The average salary including all comers is a shade higher for PAs but I believe this is due to the greater number of PAs in higher earning surgical...

  21. differences between PA and NP?

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

    PAs prescribe in all 50 states. The only variability is the DEA schedule, and I bleieve FL has a restriction to stat formulary. But other than that PA prescribing is the nat'l

  22. What do ER's hire more: PA-C, FNP or ACNP ?

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

    Everyone's personal experiences color their views. If you work around PAs who practice in surgery, EM, or critical care you will see the standard work is that they do those core procedures-...

  23. What do ER's hire more: PA-C, FNP or ACNP ?

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

    I'd love it because it would give us all a better understading of each other. It's alot better than implying that PAs shouldn't be on your "nursing" forum. I've encountered this antagonistic attitude...

  24. What do ER's hire more: PA-C, FNP or ACNP ?

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

    This is all opinion. First, teaching physical diagnosis in the construct of a clinical medicine unit is different than teaching it as part of a nursing assessment unit. If you can't assure that every...

  25. What do ER's hire more: PA-C, FNP or ACNP ?

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

    Therein lies the problem- lack of standardization in NP education. NP culture seems to thrive on the evidence that NP care has been shown to be noninferior to physicians- yet there is no clamor for...
