  1. New NP regulations for MD, PA, NJ

    nomadcrna replied to abass211's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have a copy, thanks. We were discussing working in the ICU as a NP. I could be wrong but it seems to me that the consensus model is moving away from being stuck in a narrowly defined practice. In...

  2. New NP regulations for MD, PA, NJ

    nomadcrna replied to abass211's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  3. Terms used to describe APNs - what do people call you?

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

  10. Chiropractor to FNP

    nomadcrna replied to Chiro's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  16. DNP V.S. MNA

    nomadcrna replied to jtwing's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    By MNA I am assuming you mean a masters in nurse anesthesia? All NP/CRNA programs only require a Masters degree at this point in time. That may be changing in the future(2015). You can get a DNP/DNAP...

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