    I've not worked in the same hospital as a MDA for 8 years. The 7 years before that I contracted to a hospital that also had a MDA contracted with them. He did his cases, I did mine. The 3 of us...

  9. PNP or FNP?

    nomadcrna replied to thuyd527's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I disagree. Basing the "limit your job opportunities" on your experience at ONE hospital? Having the FNP makes you much MORE marketable

  10. Emergency Nurse Practitioner programs?

    nomadcrna replied to CraigBSN02's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You pretty much have to certified as an FNP to be able to see all the ER patients. All the ENP programs I've seen have dual certification as FNP/ACNP. If you really want ER, either move to a state...

  16. Nurse Practitioner Questions

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

    The protocols may be needed in California but in many states we practice independently. An RNFA is for RNs to be able to act and bill as first assists. You do not need an RNFA if you are an NP. It is...

  17. Nurse Practitioner Questions

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

    1. Practice evidence based medicine. It is time to make the transition from RN to practitioner. You don't have to practice according to "protocols". Cardiology fellowship would be nice. It depends on...

  18. Please cretique my URI treatment plan

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

    UpToDate is your friend. Practice evidenced based medicine and tell your "director" to show you the evidence otherwise just say no. I give out very few antibiotics. There is absolutely no reason to...

  19. Can a NP perform plastic surgery?

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

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