You will just need the one week course, don't worry about the RNFA cert and the 180 hours. If you are an NP, you are all set, the significant difference between the RNFA and the NP is that an NP or PA for that matter can bill medicare for their assist services, RNFAs can't bill medicare. So as an NP, you don't need the RNFA designation, but you need an assist course just to learn the basics. Jim

I've always thought nurses have a lot of expertise but don't know how to leverage that knowledge in an entrepreneurial way many times. Additionally, there is plenty we know and can publish which doesn't need to be research based. For example, one could create a website to help people with dosage calculations. They key is... What do you know that others are interested in? How can you convey this information to your audience? How can you monetize this? How can you protect you intellectual property? Do you want to retain control of your intellectual property, or sell it to someone else? I have my own website which has been successful in bringing in a little extra money each month. It was definitely hard work, but I learned a lot in the endeavor, and it's very exciting to have created something and then see it generate money each month. I'm not sure if we are suppose to post other links here, but my site can be seen from my profile if you want to take a look. Jim
