  1. A proposal for the future of advance nursing practice

    nomadcrna replied to hoosier guy's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Are you even an RN? Needless to say it makes me nervous when someone join March 13,2012 and posts a poll like this. What is your reason behind this? You are NOT a NP. I don't think you are even a...

  2. Now I get why experience means everything yet nothing

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

    Come on guys, at try and be accurate. Look at the difference in what he says PAs require and what is actually true. I had that in my ADN, much less my BSN, Masters and DNAP. [h=5]Additional...

  3. Now I get why experience means everything yet nothing

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

    NP, according to the American College of Nurse Practioners, Pearson report. 27 states allow totally independent practice. I know that there are PA owned practices. I have a good friend that has one in...

  4. Now I get why experience means everything yet nothing

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

    Actually yes. There is NO state that allows PAs to practice independently. Many states allow NPs to practice independently. I'm not saying one is better than the other but that is just the way the...

  7. FNP doing procedures

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

    Yep, urban areas are that way. Probably for the best. Rural areas though are a whole different ball game. I agree. A specialist would be idea. Come to a rural area and try to find one. Try to find a...

  8. FNP doing procedures

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

    Dual credentialling is your best bet. Vanderbilit has a nice dual program. Many states you won't have an issue unless you try to work as an intensivist. But ER and inpatient has never been a problem...

  9. nursing model vs. medical model

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

    You have to remember a couple of things. NPs are building on previous experience. Even though many PAs have previous medical experience, the program assumes they start from scratch. Good or bad, agree...

  10. FNP or WHNP?

    nomadcrna replied to kirish34's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Look at this article. It ranks the states for practice and has some great discussion. http://www.eileenogrady.net/upload/Ranking%20of%20states%20AJNP_April_07_%5Bfinal%5D.pdf I would check with the...

  11. FNP or WHNP?

    nomadcrna replied to kirish34's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Texas is a very restrictive state. This is a very poor example. FNPs routinely practice in women's health. The compact is not going to be restrictive, the states will not pass it. In my state we are...

  15. PA-C or NP? What would you do?

    nomadcrna replied to Guttercat's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The states that have restrictive NP practice also have restrictive PA practice. I practice independently in many states. I refuse to go to a state where I do not have independent

  16. nursing model vs. medical model

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

    Not sure where you get "on the fly". I had basic hard science as well. Gasp, I had chemistry, organic chemistry, microbiology etc. Both masters level and doctoral level biochemistry, pharmacology,...

  18. NPs practicing as DRs

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

    Yep, my reply was directed at PMFB He wrote the following which is simply not true. In any case, in a level I, MDA's must be available 24 hours a day and in every state that I know of they have to be...

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

    I agree. If I had it to do over again, I think I would wait until a fellowship DNP was

  20. NPs practicing as DRs

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

    Yep, I agree with you on that point. I would take a peds fellowship trained anesthesia provider over one who is not. The issue is that there are few fellowship trained anesthesia providers except in...

  21. NPs practicing as DRs

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

    Case in point of someone not being "involved in anesthesia". I understand it is hard to look in from the outside and try to discuss something intelligently. This is why we say you need to be "a part...

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

    A normal CRNA gets 4 years BSN 1 year ICU internship 3.5 years of CRNA school (7 semester) This is a masters program. DNP is longer. If you don't count our ICU then we don't count the radiologist or...

  23. NPs practicing as DRs

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

    I asssume you are familar with the many peer reviewed studies that show anesthesia provided by solo CRNA is as safe as sole MDA or MDA/CRNA? I have always practiced independently. I do the exact same...

  24. FNP doing procedures

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

    That is a shame. I did a huge amount of ER and inpatient medicine in my program. I was with two great family practice docs who literally did it all. I did clinic with them, followed the inpatients and...

  25. FNP doing procedures

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

    I am familiar with the consensus model. We are discussing it at our state board now. A few states have passed it but it remains to be seen if more do the same. Many rurual states (mine included) do...
