  1. Most Rigorous NP Programs (worried about NP Curriculum)!

    nomadcrna replied to IcySageNurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    DragonNP, You very eloquently stated how I feel. Thanks,

  2. Most Rigorous NP Programs (worried about NP Curriculum)!

    nomadcrna replied to IcySageNurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm not going to list the myriad of reasons why there is really no difference at all between PAs and NPs. For one, you are just a student and really have no experience to base an argument on. Get out...

  3. Per diem/Part time CRNA positions?

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

    I disagree. If you want to work part time, do it. LOL, who say you have to work full

  4. Most Rigorous NP Programs (worried about NP Curriculum)!

    nomadcrna replied to IcySageNurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Sorry, you are right. I get so tired of fighting the battle only to have our own perpetuate BS. My

  5. Most Rigorous NP Programs (worried about NP Curriculum)!

    nomadcrna replied to IcySageNurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If you are not an NP as some of the posters in this thread, please refrain from giving advice about NP issues. Most of you are not giving accurate information. Please delete the term MIDLEVEL from...

  6. Most Rigorous NP Programs (worried about NP Curriculum)!

    nomadcrna replied to IcySageNurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    NPs are NOT midlevel providers. You are obviously not an NP. Is our care judged on a midlevel? Or is our care compared to current best medical practice? Don't even try to go with the tired old...

  7. Will I run in to trouble with this RN degree?

    nomadcrna replied to RHill9919's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Sorry, I may be dense. Why would any CRNA program not accept your RN from a nationally accredited

  8. Will I run in to trouble with this RN degree?

    nomadcrna replied to RHill9919's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I have no idea what you are asking? You do not fet your license from the school but each state you practice

  9. Who has both AANP and ANCC certifications? Should I?

    nomadcrna replied to BostonRN13's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    They take both. Think about it. Every state allows both. Do you really think a hospital would refuse one cert over the other? Not very likely. It would be incredibly stupid if they did. Maybe hearsay...

  10. Who has both AANP and ANCC certifications? Should I?

    nomadcrna replied to BostonRN13's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would bet it is an oversite. Which hospital is

  11. Who has both AANP and ANCC certifications? Should I?

    nomadcrna replied to BostonRN13's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    No difference at all. Employers could care less which certification you have. Most will have no idea of the

  12. Per diem/Part time CRNA positions?

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

    Many locums and part time positions. You can find them as W9, 1099 and fee for service. A new grad will have a more narrow option of course. Find places where you have back up of more experienced...

  13. NP to CRNA?!

    nomadcrna replied to Missy89's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Many NPs work as intensivists. They are far, far ahead of the normal student and/or standard RN ICU

  14. Sick of the Certs!!!!! Just let 'em be an NP!

    nomadcrna replied to bsnanat2's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Personally, I see no reason a ACNP could not do primary care in a clinic if they choose. OJT would be very easy, same applies to the FNP that wants to do hospitalist or intensivist. I'm adding my 3rd...

  15. Sick of the Certs!!!!! Just let 'em be an NP!

    nomadcrna replied to bsnanat2's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Do I feel like my 12 years of advanced education after 13 years of ICU/ER experience as an RN puts me at the same level? Absolutely. Do the courts judge me as a mid-level or on the same level as as...

  16. In Support of Independent NP Practice

    nomadcrna replied to Corey Narry's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This is what you said. "Oh I totally agree! I wouldn't dare think of going independent as a new NP and quite frankly not after multiple years of experience! That would totally be a bad recipe for...

  17. Sick of the Certs!!!!! Just let 'em be an NP!

    nomadcrna replied to bsnanat2's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I want to address some the this posters misunderstanding. Take a family practice or IM physician. They can do primary care. They can do hospitalist. They can even do intensivist work. They can work in...

    nomadcrna replied to bsnanat2's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I could not agree more. We need to reorganize our education and

  19. Who does Dental anesthesia?

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

    Because he is doing the procedure and there is no qualified person managing the patient. It is bad practice to do both with either deep or general anesthesia. That is why there are deaths in dental...

  20. Who does Dental anesthesia?

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

    Makes no difference at all that he is an MD. Point is that I doubt an ARMY facility would credential the oral surgeon to use propofol in a clinic setting. At least not when I was in the army doing...

  21. Who does Dental anesthesia?

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

    Doubtful it was propofol. Way to short acting and very doubtful he could get credentialed to use propofol in an army clinic. Most likely a combination of versed/narcotic. Very dangerous if he did do...

  22. Earning potential

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

    You go to either FNP or ACNP program. Get some experience, find a job in the specialty you want. Look for a residency program. I've seen ER and ICU

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

    Yes, you can specialize in cardiology, ER, ICU, hospitalist, GI and any number of

  24. Earning potential

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

    Opt out has absolutely nothing to do with practice. Non opt out states only means that FOR BILLING MEDICARE, the crna is considered to be under the general supervision of the surgeon. It has nothing...
