  1. Do pharma reps target you??

    twozer0 replied to alfredlikes's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I never understood the concept of "sales". I used to work in retail while I was in college and they would get upset when a person would only buy one item. How are you supposed to sell someone...

  2. Any NPs with an MBA?

    twozer0 replied to greygooseuria's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My mother works a the finance director in a large health system. She reports directly to the CFO of the company. From what I have gathered, nobody in her level, the level below her, or above her has...

    twozer0 posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Good news to all CRNA's and SRNA's. Suggamadex passes FDA trials and will be available for use! Medscape: Medscape Access No more waiting on neostigmine/glyco for your roc/vec neuromuscular blockade...

  4. Guaranteed Seat Worth the Extra Cost?

    twozer0 replied to Apple2020's topic in General Students

    In regards to the BSN I was refering to employment and not graduate school as stated in my first line. As it is right now, there is no requirement for a doctorate for NP. This could change in the...

  5. Guaranteed Seat Worth the Extra Cost?

    twozer0 replied to Apple2020's topic in General Students

    You know how many employers care where you get your degree from? Very few (if any). As long as you are an RN, nobody will question where you got your BSN (because the RN is a state licensure, and...

  6. Does it bother CRNA's that MDA's get so much more...?

    twozer0 replied to ICU, RN, BSN, B.S.'s topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Are you refering to % of personel or were you trying to say are the outcomes similar? We do not do thorasic cases at my facility but I do know for a fact, that all of our CRNA's did a thorasic...

  7. Advanced patho/stats

    twozer0 replied to turnforthenurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I want to echo the Khan Academy videos. I used them in my BSN and they were great. Rocknurse, thanks for the links

  8. NP Hospitalist question

    twozer0 replied to TicTok411's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    1. The position is salary and not hourly (usually). In the end it equals about 100 hours more a year than your typical 40 hour weekly person. The upside to this is you get a week off at a time, and...

  9. Is it still financially worth it to become CRNA?

    twozer0 replied to ProgressiveThinking's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Single, no kids, traveller (so I'm assuming low overhead - IE no mortgage or low mortgage?), and 80k in the bank for CRNA school? You're set up well for school. The south is saturated in a lot of...

  10. Are NPs staff or providers?

    twozer0 replied to orangepink's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If you are seeing patients, writing orders, and managing their care, you are a provider. If she wants to get technical, everyone that works in the practice are staff (of the

  11. Why DNP and not MD?

    twozer0 replied to koreanjohn32's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I left physicians open and didnt articulate on any specialists. Its pretty clear that an NP wouldnt be doing specific things outside of their scope such as surgery or specific diagnostic...

  12. Why DNP and not MD?

    twozer0 replied to koreanjohn32's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    You have listed all specialists in your comparison. The last time I checked there were no independent care NP's that practiced as cardiolist or nephrologist. They only practice family/general...

  13. Confused between Nursing and PA

    twozer0 replied to Loveleen Sahni's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just to chime in here. An advanced practice nurse like a Nurse Practitioner does exactly what a PA does. There are also other options such as Nurse Anesthesia and Clinical Nurse Specialist. Having...

  14. Is it still financially worth it to become CRNA?

    twozer0 replied to ProgressiveThinking's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    It really depends on the individual and your goals of what you want out of life. Money is transient. Sure its nice to make a big salary and buy nice things but others might value more time with...

  15. Why DNP and not MD?

    twozer0 replied to koreanjohn32's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Did you even read what I typed? Seriously! "Aside from surgery and a few other specific areas NP work in the same capacity as physicians" Of course an NP wouldnt be reading a pet scan or placing a...

  16. Why DNP and not MD?

    twozer0 replied to koreanjohn32's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I also wanted to add that a lot of the physicians I have been running in to lately have been introducing themselves by their first name without the title. I like that. If I had a doctorate degree, I...

  17. Why DNP and not MD?

    twozer0 replied to koreanjohn32's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I never understood why a person who has earned the title of doctor wasn't allowed to use it (in the hospital) since a doctorate is a degree and not a job title (Physician, Phyciatrist, Nurse...

  18. Family NP as a hospitalist

    twozer0 replied to russianbear's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My facility is much like Elkparks. We also have FNP's working in specialty

  19. FNP vs ACNP? Please help

    twozer0 replied to Smccar's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I never disagreed with you here, I absolutely think an ACNP could do outpatient work. As a matter of fact, I think we should get rid of these specialties anyway. To me, NP needs to adopt something...

  20. FNP vs ACNP? Please help

    twozer0 replied to Smccar's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Right, that is how your facility operates. You know how mine does. There is no clear cut right or wrong answer. I think our FNP's do a fine job at inpatient work just as much as our ACNP's do....

  21. FNP vs ACNP? Please help

    twozer0 replied to Smccar's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Good luck finding data on this outside of empirical. When speaking of this I was speaking of my health institution. If you want an answer you'll need others to chime in who have similar demographics...

  22. FNP vs ACNP? Please help

    twozer0 replied to Smccar's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm claiming this because it can and does happen everyday at my hospital. Again, ACNP's seem to concentrate more at academic facilities. FNP's can work seamlessly doing inpatient work just as well...

  23. FNP vs ACNP? Please help

    twozer0 replied to Smccar's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    My point is that ACNP's seems to be more concentrated near metropolitan and medical university hospitals. If you want my opinion on who would be hired for a hospitalist position, I would still say...

  24. FNP vs ACNP? Please help

    twozer0 replied to Smccar's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Do you work in a metropolitan area or more of a suburban/community setting? In my area that is community based, the job market for ACNP is very thin as there isnt a huge need. The only two ACNP's...

  25. Hypoxemia Risk Protocol (HRP)

    twozer0 replied to HEFFLY's topic in PACU

    No protocol here at our facility. That sounds like your Anesthesia dept set that up as we follow aspan guidelines here and have never had any mention of this. To be honest, it sounds like a lean...
