I used to go to the ACEP conferences and pick up some skills, and the consensus was if you were trained then sure do them and bill for it.

C19 will hit you guys one day, this is not going away, Seattle where I am has been on fairly tight lockdown since the first of March. I compare it to a wet tarp over a hot fire full of coals. Start lifting that tarp up and the flames will rip again. ...

well here is another take, at a large hospital in Seattle they have sent out a group email that we are PA/ARNP are subject to be redeployed in a position other than what we work as, within scope as phrased, I.e PA can be redeployed as a MA helper and...

I think it might be for some. I have a hard time seeing where the differentation of the ARNP role is going to end. If I was 30 yrs younger going in to this I would struggle to decide, I am currently inpatient working at a level one center as a FNP. S...

I am aware of several FNP’s who have gone back to get ACNP certification so they could work acute care/inpatient roles.

Where I am we/us prefer NP’s for billing and independent licensure.

My experience after 10 yrs, no difference. Reimbursements based on position, place of employment and experience.

as a current FNP and previous medic I do not see a lot of usefulness in a NP working prehospital. A focused prehospital EMS program gives in my opinion a much better clinical and didactic program for managing issues in the field, vs a ACNP or FNP, th...

Well said.

For years I have listened to HIPPO rap, podcast that is certified for my CE. I am now signed up for their primary care. Its a excellent CME. Research, esoteric facts, reviews and opinions really well down. I seriously enjoy them and its well worth th...

This has a great point I have not reflected on much, I am a advanced practice nurse hence I suppose?? I practice nursing.... yet in reality we are in the same healthcare role as our colleagues DO's, MD's and PA's. We are share expertise and consult o...

Good comments here, and to answer the OP. I worked in a large academic center ED and the NP/PA's were managed by the RN director of the ED. Medical control by the EM director. The manager had a remarkable control including excluding NP's from having ...

Oh my, no you misunderstand. I took a inpatient position trauma services to many advantages to describe. I also love what I do!!

HA! I love that Truth is there, I have been in both, in ED fair amount of expected supervisor just as the residents and interns get though of course I am not one! UC on my own. Truth be I think as I am a FNP that the UC is more in my scope of practic...

seems to me the more you focus/narrow the more you restrict your options? Why not FNP and focus with post doc work on Gero. I know a number of practices with heavy Gero load but would not hire a Gero specific provider. I however am far from being awa...

We need MD's we need NP's, we need RN's we are all spokes on the wheel, different overlapping supporting roles.

"Mar 17 by fathertod, BSN, RN Your best training and career bet is to go to Harborview. You will not regret it" Harborview is a great place no doubt. However if you wish to be a NP/PA and do a lot of procedures that is not the place. One of its missi...

well if you love your staff nurse position and hours why change? Nothing wrong with that! Its all a balance, spokes on the wheel, all points of life should be smooth for a easier ride.... that being said for me I feel I can impact patients lives in a...

This and I like it also, good combo. I know a similar NP in the same system who is salaried and makes a touch more than me who would argue she has a preferred system. YMMV depending on your personality a

generally speaking in academic centers, short coats are for students whether you are a pharmacy, medical or NP student. Wearing a tie shows respect for the patient and institution. Long coats are for licensed folks, never seen any real rules. Though ...

to the OP Work at a level one and am with the Burn service; my attendings are Burn/Trauma surgeons. I manage the floor patients for acute issues as well as just regular day to day stuff. Many of my patients are on service for a couple of weeks with w...

Sounds like he wants you to do a non paid orientation

I am a FNP in WA state, both private and university. No we do not need a collaborating partner/MD. Many independent NP's here in the state with their practice.

You need to learn how to be a NP first. Then maybe find another NP job that fits. I question why you are a NP as well. Two different jobs you are discussing NP vs RN.

I would if I was young..less than 50? and starting a program, just seems to make sense though I agree with all the above posts. Doesn't though the university of Washington allow a person to obtain a MSN mid school track? And exit if they wish? I seem...
