  4. One form of greed for another? Really? So wanting to keep the revenue YOU generate instead of being paid a fraction of your worth is only greed? Difficult to have an adult discussion with statements...
  5. I'm licensed in Texas but I refuse to work there until they are not so restrictive. For sure, one of the worst states for NP practice. Remember, the consensus model needs to be passed by the states...
  6. Yep we are well aware that not all states allow this practice but your statement of some states may be more accurate as "a few" states or maybe even 1 or 2 states. What state are you in? Think about...
  7. 2. So no answer. Nothing said that is it illegal for the CRNA to NOT report it. Now this is a post of yours on another site. Telling a different story? Does not help your credibility any does it....
  8. The raw truth about what NPs really do

    Very well said. That is, by far the best aspect of being an
  9. 1. Why is jwk in a CRNA forum? Are you that insecure? 2. So organizations should NOT want their members to follow the law? (reporting) 3. There was a recent study that actually showed that many ACT...

  11. NP to CRNA?!

    Please enlighten us as to what an "intermediate care provider" is? I am certainly not an "intermediate care
  13. Acute vs. Primary Care NP? Can't decide

    A few boards of nursing. Many others are quite content with allowing FNPs to practice where ever they choose as long as they can show the training. All the states that I practice in are fine with FNPs...
  14. Applying for Surgical PA jobs as an FNP?

    There are FNPs working with a neurosurgeon and ortho surgeon here in Montana. You have scrub experience? The rest is easy. Also depends on what state you are in. Shame but
  15. ANP vs FNP

    ACNP can't see kids so they can't be the sole provider in a rural ER. Montana, Idaho, Alaska, Wyoming have many rural ERs that have FNPs as the sole providers. Don't project practice from your one...
  16. ANP vs FNP

    No, There are many NP hospitalist
  17. Women's Health vs Family NP

    Unless NJ is very different, she is most likely wrong. I'm licensed in 9 states and that is how it is in each of those states. Call the board and ask if a FNP works in a specialized area such as...
  18. Women's Health vs Family NP

    Icy, Schedule meds are the various controlled substances. BP meds, antibiotics etc on NOT scheduled
  21. Prescribing out of Speciality?

    Scheduled meds are narcotics etc. Not antibiotics or bp meds. Big difference between writing for antibiotics and such and for instance, Vicodin. You would have to be pretty stupid to write for...
  22. Prescribing out of Speciality?

    It depends on your state. In my state: I would write a prescription for him after the normal PE etc. You should probably document the exam and treatment to make the board happy. If you are in the...
  23. Prescribing out of Speciality?

    Personally, I'd tell HR to take a hike and mind their own business. If I write a script for a co-worker in the OR, which I've done. I DO have a provider-pt relationship. I also document a PE,...
  24. Women's Health vs Family NP

    OMG, stop beating a dead
  25. Women's Health vs Family NP

    Nice attack. :) To bad much of it is false. Backwoods hospitals? I won't even respond to that. Way to silly. Family practice physicians are NOT GP physicians. GP physicians used to be allowed to...
