  1. MDs dont own the physician title

    nomadcrna replied to platon20's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Brandon, We have discussed this ad nauseum. When an NP introduces themselves as Dr., we DO also tell the patient that we are a NP. As in: Hi, I'm Dr. xxxx, a nurse practitioner or Hi, I'm Dr. xxxx, a...

  2. NPs: How did you learn clinical skills??

    nomadcrna replied to IcySageNurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yes, a few. Check out Vanderbilt and there is another in Texas. Don't remember where

  4. NPs: How did you learn clinical skills??

    nomadcrna replied to IcySageNurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You won't get all those in PA or MD school either. It is pretty much hit and miss and much depends on which type of NP program you are taking. IF ACNP, you will have many of those included. If FNP...

    nomadcrna replied to IcySageNurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Quite a few other clinical skills. Fracture reducing. Casting I&D Central lines Intubation LP US/radiology chest tubes joint injections eye procedures with slit lamp IUD & PAPs just off the...

  6. MDs dont own the physician title

    nomadcrna replied to platon20's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Not true. I earned the right to be called Dr. I'm not in academia and have no issues with inferiority complexes. Although, it sounds as if you may be harboring some inferiority

  7. "Anesthesiologists are gaming the system"

    nomadcrna replied to wtbcrna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I do anesthesia for FNPs and PAs in the ER. I also place central lines for FNPs, PAs and physicians. I do chronic pain blocks for the above mentioned providers as well. Occasionally, I actually do the...

  8. "Anesthesiologists are gaming the system"

    nomadcrna replied to wtbcrna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    And this would be incorrect. I do anesthesia all the time for ER providers, family practice providers, cardiologists etc. Not always a

  9. MDs dont own the physician title

    nomadcrna replied to platon20's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I'm hoping she meant Doctor. Otherwise you are totally wrong about the physician title. I don't think she is a NP, I could be wrong but from reading her other posts. Not much

  10. DNP as 2nd doctorate--worth it?

    nomadcrna replied to mcnacht's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    It makes no difference in practice but I've found that it does make a difference in a few ways. Administrators tend to give you more credence, sad but true. I found it fairly easy to get the bylaws...

  11. Anesthetist?

    nomadcrna replied to manusko's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    You would also be entirely correct in introducing yourself as a

  12. Masters in the Science of Nursing vs Masters in Biological Science

    nomadcrna replied to marco346's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I could not agree more with this

  13. Stay away from Walden University

    nomadcrna replied to BLACK HAWK's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    icysagenurse, There are NO all online NP programs. EVERY NP program as a clinical requirement. So there is no need to avoid them as there are NONE. You learn exams, suturing and all the other various...

  14. Masters in the Science of Nursing vs Masters in Biological Science

    nomadcrna replied to marco346's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I would recommend a MSN over non nursing masters. Many schools and programs require the degree be in nursing. Many state boards of nursing also require a nursing degree. It will not hurt you if you...

  15. Retail Clinic salaries

    nomadcrna replied to aggie313's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Don't use it. Correct it every time someone uses it. Our NP organizations came out long ago against the terms. We provide the SAME level of care as physicians. We are JUDGED at the SAME EXACT level of...

  16. CMS reimbursement rules for AAs

    nomadcrna replied to wtbcrna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Can we please delete this argumentative and derogatory post and ban

  17. AANA urges Medicare to consider hospital anesthesiology efficiency measures

    nomadcrna replied to wtbcrna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  18. AANA urges Medicare to consider hospital anesthesiology efficiency measures

    nomadcrna replied to wtbcrna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    And what does that have to do with jwk trolling CRNAs about billing practices? Mine was obviously not a troll. As I AM a practicing CRNA, I am very concerned about how we are perceived by other...

  19. AANA urges Medicare to consider hospital anesthesiology efficiency measures

    nomadcrna replied to wtbcrna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Guys, Don't even respond to these idiotic posts. He is only looking to troll you. If he gets no responses, soon he will leave as he gets no

  20. CMS reimbursement rules for AAs

    nomadcrna replied to wtbcrna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I agree with this. Invariable this starts in ALL NP forums because NON NPs inject incorrect information and many times leads to a war. Why on earth allow an AA into a CRNA

  21. AANA urges Medicare to consider hospital anesthesiology efficiency measures

    nomadcrna replied to wtbcrna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Well post a style manual that disagrees with what I posted. Show us the evidence. No offense but it is not enough to just post your opinion.

  22. AANA urges Medicare to consider hospital anesthesiology efficiency measures

    nomadcrna replied to wtbcrna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Don't feed the troll.

  23. AANA urges Medicare to consider hospital anesthesiology efficiency measures

    nomadcrna replied to wtbcrna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Well, I hate to disagree again but the AANA appears to be wrong on how the post nominals should be placed. Although those are just examples that do not expressly address post nominals. They are...

  24. AANA urges Medicare to consider hospital anesthesiology efficiency measures

    nomadcrna replied to wtbcrna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Actually you are incorrect. There are rules and I posted them above. Professional licenses, certifications should come AFTER the academic degree which in her case is the DNAP. Here is another...
