  1. NPs practicing as DRs

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

    No, PAs can NEVER have an independent practice. They must have a physician. Unless I"m mistaken, it is this way in all 50 states. I think they should have independent practice, just as I think NPs...

  2. NPs practicing as DRs

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

    what procedure can a pa do legally that i cannot as a np? what meds can they prescribe that i cannot as a np? what types of patients can they see that i cannot as a np? i have full admit privileges,...

  3. NPs practicing as DRs

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

    WOW, kudos to unplannedRN. Absolutely outstanding post. I can only dream of articulating as you do. You are a credit to our profession and will be a huge assest as an

  4. NPs practicing as DRs

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

    PA never has independent practice so I'm not sure what you mean by issues with scope of practice. We have it much, much better than

  5. NPs practicing as DRs

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

    I introduce myself as DR. ****, a nurse practitioner. THere is absolutely nothing wrong with it and many times it opens the door to public education about INDEPENDENT nurse practitioners. My medical...

  7. Advance Practice Nurses and Pain Management

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

    At least that is the first NP/CRNA clinic I've heard about. On the other hand, I've heard about MANY physician pain centers being like that. I am selective about the chronic pain patients I treat....

  9. FNP vs Acute care NP vs CRNA

    nomadcrna replied to Leanne62499's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You are NOT a mid-level practitioner. :) Delete that

  10. FNP vs ACNP

    nomadcrna replied to icurn11's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Lol, I have to take a ferry or a plane to get to a road system.

  11. Very Unhappy With My Career

    nomadcrna replied to Nupe4sleep's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    this is a classic example. if you went back to icu, you would still be considered a different level of care and have the same liability as before. so you are not judged as an rn but a crna. i have...

  12. Very Unhappy With My Career

    nomadcrna replied to Nupe4sleep's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    He is right. He is asking for CRNA advice because you need to be a CRNA to truly understand the various options to alleviate his

  13. FNP vs ACNP

    nomadcrna replied to icurn11's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yes, you will be able to learn them, depending on your state of practice. I do all those things as well as central lines, minor surgeries and even PAPs and IUD placement. :) Sounds like you will be...

  14. NP Sections for NPs

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

    I agree with the OP. Many times i've seen the gospel coming from non-NPs who know everything there is to know about NP practice. Usually because that is how its done at their

  15. Question on delegation and the law

    nomadcrna replied to Kaligirl02's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I happen to be in Alaska. :) Here is the law. NP CAN delegate to a CMA. The administration of injectable medication is a specialized nursing task that may be delegated under the standards set out in...

  16. whnp and pnp? Anyone?

    nomadcrna replied to danceluver's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Most likely not much demand since an FNP can do women's

  17. Adult NP or FNP?? Any Opinions??

    nomadcrna replied to Gville RN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    CCRNDiva, There are some programs that teach both acute care and primary care at the same time. Some are called ENP(emergency nurse practitioner) but basically you can take both the ACNP and FNP...

  18. O.R. cases for CRNA's vs. Anesthesiologists

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

    Ok, so you don't understand evidenced based medicine. That's ok. S by your reasoning, an MDA who is employed is improperly supervised? You do realize many MDAs are employed? LOL. It is very apparent...

  19. O.R. cases for CRNA's vs. Anesthesiologists

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

    You have any studies showing patient safety is compromised by this? I can provide a few that show the exact opposite. Your credibility is at stake here. If you accuse CRNAs as being less safe, which...

  20. O.R. cases for CRNA's vs. Anesthesiologists

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

    Actually, the surgeon is always included in the suit if an MDA does the case. You are welcome to follow this link and get the correct information instead of your "opinion". Much of what you opine...

  21. O.R. cases for CRNA's vs. Anesthesiologists

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

    Actually no, I would study up on the subject if I were you. ONLY if the MDA is billing for MEDICAL DIRECTION does he need to meet the TEFRA conditions for payment. Opt out is ONLY for medicare...

  22. Adult NP or FNP?? Any Opinions??

    nomadcrna replied to Gville RN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It was said in this thread, its fair game. I would think that NPs would support the national NP organizations who have come out and said we should all work to expunge that term. If we don't stick...

  23. Adult NP or FNP?? Any Opinions??

    nomadcrna replied to Gville RN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I do not provide mid level care and consider the term midlevel to be

  24. Adult NP or FNP?? Any Opinions??

    nomadcrna replied to Gville RN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm not sure why that is the case. That is facility specific as the FNP can see any age across the life span. If i were an FNP, I would demand to practice at my full scope or I would leave. Once...

  25. Adult NP or FNP?? Any Opinions??

    nomadcrna replied to Gville RN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    A sample size of One. No offense meant. I'm glad it all worked out for you. :) The fact remains that the FNP is in higher demand than the adult NP. Look at the job site. I'm guessing, but I'd wager it...
