  3. DEA# and California Furnishing license for the ED

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

    You don't need a DEA number to order inside the hospital. You only need the DEA for scripts the pt gets filled

  4. Help! ideas on getting along with a MD who dislikes NPs

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

    We are NOT mid-levels. Expunge that word from your vocabulary. :) I'd confront her the next time it happens. The American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (AANP) opposes use of terms such as "mid-level...

  5. Collaborative Agreement

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

    You do not need a collaborative agreement in many states. Especially the states out west and northwest, you have independent

  6. Can the NP assist in surgery?

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

    Get your FNP; EVERY PA/FNP has to be trained by the surgeon, Period. The ortho surgeon I talked to about six months ago (doing anesthesia) said it takes about two years before the FNP/PA can function...

  7. Can the NP assist in surgery?

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

    God, FNPs are in ORs all over the country. This post makes no sense at all. At my last hospital, an FNP was with one ortho surgeon, PA with the other, and the neurosurgeon had an FNP as the first...

    nomadcrna replied to UnbrokenRN09's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  9. What do ER's hire more: PA-C, FNP or ACNP ?

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

    I agree that the ivory tower educational types are missing the boat on this one. Instead of EBM, they should be having rotations or mini fellowship in various specialties. I was very disappointed in...

  10. What do ER's hire more: PA-C, FNP or ACNP ?

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

    I'm on clinician 1. I have been impressed by Dave's posts in the past. I've never seen him post in an antagonistic fashion before. I'll attribute this to the written word. I often post then re-read...

  11. FNP working in specialty

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

    You don't have to do primary care to be re-certified. YOu just need to work as a NP in some

  12. What do ER's hire more: PA-C, FNP or ACNP ?

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

    BTW, we have had many PAs here. I did not imply that a PA should not be here, just a PA that is arrogant enough to tell us how we should be educated. Maybe that is why you have encountered an...

  13. What do ER's hire more: PA-C, FNP or ACNP ?

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

    I've yet to see a PA do a central line or chest tube. I've let a few try to intubate and help to teach them how. So IF you do those, you most likely learned them afterwards or your particular program...

  14. What do ER's hire more: PA-C, FNP or ACNP ?

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

    First, why is a PA on our "nursing" forum? Second, the vast majority of physicians except the cardiologists I know have very little knowledge when it comes to differentiating between MR and AS. They...

    nomadcrna replied to UnbrokenRN09's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Cheer, I'll see you there.

  16. What do ER's hire more: PA-C, FNP or ACNP ?

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

    Attend a GOOD NP program then talk about what kind of depth they may have or not have. Btw I've seen physicians who cantread an xray. You have a wide varibility in both

  20. Considering career as NP

    nomadcrna replied to UnbrokenRN09's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Your reading comprehension is annoying me and I'm usually patient. A few posts ago I got offended at the term wannabe NP who attend online schools. Seems a big different in and what you say below. You...

  21. Considering career as NP

    nomadcrna replied to UnbrokenRN09's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Interesting reading here from the Emergency Nurses Association on NP competencies. http://www.ena.org/IQSIP/NursingPractice/advanced/Documents/ENANPCompetency.pdf Altough the authors are 1 - ENP 2 -...

  22. Considering career as NP

    nomadcrna replied to UnbrokenRN09's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hmm, I'm a bit confused on this one. This is what you quoted me as saying. I agree that we should train our NP better to better compete with the physicians. .... Instead of turf wars, lets try and...

  23. Considering career as NP

    nomadcrna replied to UnbrokenRN09's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I also perform those procedures and have for years. The only difference is that I usually make the decision. Unless I get a consult to place a central line for someone else. Judgement is learned many...

    nomadcrna replied to UnbrokenRN09's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    LOL, its your choice. Sometimes you get what you wish for. Nurses truly can be our own worst enemy. :) I was doing OB anesthesia a number of years ago. A pediatric MDA(medical doctor anesthesiologist)...

  25. Reasons NOT to be CRNA

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

    I have not been employed since I left the army. I did private practice, fee for service in 1999-2000 and made over 200k each year. I made 215k from 2000-2007 in Texas. I made 170k working two week on...
