  1. Considering career as NP

    nomadcrna replied to UnbrokenRN09's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Lets see, you called me a NP wannabe? Thats not personal? If you feel your program was "limited" thats fine. Many programs are not. By generalizing your practice into other states and regions...

  2. Considering career as NP

    nomadcrna replied to UnbrokenRN09's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    He said, she said. Do you have a specific example of a lawsuit? I searched and could not find it. I would not be surprised if it were out there but FNPs work in hospitals all over the country. Maybe...

  3. Considering career as NP

    nomadcrna replied to UnbrokenRN09's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    WOW, lets go for personal attacks. LOL NP wannabes? Easy way out? I don't know whether to laugh or be sad for our profession. When you can't discuss your position like an adult instead of personal...

  4. Considering career as NP

    nomadcrna replied to UnbrokenRN09's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    And this is one of the big problems with NP vs PA and MDs. The PA receives a generalist medical education as does the FNP. They specialize afterwards. The MD also initially receives a generalist...

  5. NP salary too low?

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

    +1000

  6. Considering career as NP

    nomadcrna replied to UnbrokenRN09's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You want to clarify what you are asking? I assume you are not accusing me of not getting the required hours? If you mean how did I fulfill the hours, read the above post. You do not have to work in a...

  7. Considering career as NP

    nomadcrna replied to UnbrokenRN09's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Because as an FNP, i can do it all. If I did an acute care NP, I could not be the sole provider in a rural ER. I enjoy seeing all ages of patients in the clinic and having the ability to admit my own...

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

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

    No, their residency is part of their school. Our "residency" is our clinicals. We should be ready to go, as they are when we are

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

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

    Why does it make sense? Why not prepare the NP to be independent right out of school just as the physicians are? My CRNA school prepared me extremely well. I could do any case, anywhere with most any...

  10. Considering career as NP

    nomadcrna replied to UnbrokenRN09's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Do a FNP program where you set up your own clinicals. I did mine mostly in ER and

  11. Reasons NOT to be CRNA

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

    Numbers are way, way off. I've not made less than 200k since 1999(as a

  12. ER NP Vacancy

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

    Pay and time off and most importantly, independent/collaborative practice. For ER, I expect $75 an hour. The ER physicians are getting $200.

  13. Lack of DEA# when working in the hospital (ED)

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

    You don't need a DEA number if you are writing order in the hospital. If you right scripts(Scheduled drugs only) for outside, then you need a DEA number.

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

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

    Texas is one of the most restrictive NP states, that is for sure. I am licensed in Texas although I refuse to practice there until we are independent. It seems as if that may be happening. If the bill...

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

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

    They are not. Most are heading toward the consensus statement. I find most states out west prefere the FNP as they can see all patients. Its not a hard jump to get some extra training if your program...

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

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

    Note that that is ONLY for billing. I can provide services to anyone that I want. Getting paid for it may be an issue. If I think a patient needs a specialist, I medivac them to anchorage. I do just...

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

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

    It is totally state dependent, at this time. The NP organizations are pushing for big changes though. One of which is the scope of practice through the national certifying board instead of the states....

  18. Why everyone wants to become anesthetist? Is it because of the salary?

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

    The easiest way to describe it is that the MDA hires 3 CRNAs and pays them 170k each. The MDA then bills the various insurance companies for the services. Depending on the variables, he collects...

  19. Why everyone wants to become anesthetist? Is it because of the salary?

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

    Not true. I've practiced for 20 years without a medical doctor anesthesiologist(MDA). Many rural hospitals only have 1 CRNA or sometimes two that do 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off. MDAs give my hives, I...

  20. Nurse Practitioner in hospital setting?

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

    You don't use the MDs license. You are using your own license as an advance practice nurse. Depending on what state you are in makes a difference on whether you are independent, collaborative or...

  21. Can NPs deliver babies?

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

    I delivered 5 during my OB rotation but I'd only do it in an emergency situation, as in ER. You need to by a certified midwife

  22. Family NP or Adult acute care NP

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

    Good post. The key is that you have the foundation to do acute care. All you need is a mentor or class to add to your knowledge. Inpatient medicine is not that hard, especially with a mentor to guide...

  23. Family NP or Adult acute care NP

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

    Another tidbit below from the model. I don't even see ACNP under the six foci. Under this APRN Regulatory Model,there are four roles: certified registered nurse anesthetist (CRNA), certified...

  24. Family NP or Adult acute care NP

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

    That is from your state board. From the consensus model. The certified nurse practitioner (CNP) is prepared with the acute care CNP competencies and/or the primary care CNP competencies. At this...

  25. Family NP or Adult acute care NP

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

    Ok, much better typing on a keyboard. So anyway, the original topic was not debating the consensus model as much as whether the states are increasing their limitations of various NP. As in what has...
