  1. Family NP or Adult acute care NP

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

    Of course you need the education to practice in various areas. That is what I've been saying and what the model proposes. The same way credentialing works in a hospital. I can show training in...

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

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

    In the Montana and Alaska, it is almost all FNPs. The reasons are independent practice and being able to see all ages. In the hospital that I'm currently at, they make every effort to get doc, FNP,...

  3. Family NP or Adult acute care NP

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

    I've seen this inaccurate information before. The states are NOT moving toward this. A few states are like this but many more allow the NP to function according to their training NOT their title. For...

  4. CRNA Threat

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

    Shrug, I have complete autonomy.

  5. Adult NP to Family NP

    nomadcrna replied to aprn_2005's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yep, UMass-Boston. I enjoyed it

  6. Adult NP to Family NP

    nomadcrna replied to aprn_2005's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Umass is great. I did the post masters FNP program from CRNA to FNP.

  7. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FAMILY NURSE PRACTITIONER & Certified Family Nurse Pra

    nomadcrna replied to Miley22's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I ignore his posts. No need to be a jerk to someone asking a question.

  8. Help us end the collaborative agreement requirement!!

    nomadcrna replied to buster4's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Do I need to have a collaborative agreement to see Medicare patients and bill directly, even though I am in an Independent Practice State? A. When the regulations were written to implement the 1997...

  9. Help us end the collaborative agreement requirement!!

    nomadcrna replied to buster4's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    OMG, I doubt you are a NP, no offense intended. Try telling that to the many states were we ARE independent.

  10. CRNA VS anesthesiologist MD

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

    I don't think super is actually an MDA. He seems to be obsessed that if we happen to be in the OR suite when an MDA is present, they will magically be in "charge" if something happens. You really...

  11. What are the BEST and WORST States to practice as an NP?

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

    I guess my agreeing with the Arizona officials and applauding that they are trying to protect the citizens offsets your nay vote. I also agree with Arizona attempting to stem the tide of illegal...

  12. CRNA VS anesthesiologist MD

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

    LOL, neither of us is employed by the hospital. Even if we were, he would not be responsible as the state allows me to practice with total independence and the hospital as credentialed me as an...

  13. What are the BEST and WORST States to practice as an NP?

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

    So you automatically believe the distortions in the media? I don't know where to start, so I won't. :)

  14. CRNA VS anesthesiologist MD

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

    No flame from me. :) I have had an MDA as a partner twice in my career. He was not my supervisor and I was credentialed as a Licensed Independent Provider. We each did our own cases and believe it or...

  15. WHNP vs FNP

    nomadcrna replied to momof2sweeties's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I&D placement and prenatal care is something I do all the time as an FNP.

  16. What are the BEST and WORST States to practice as an NP?

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

    The states that I am licensed in: You are TOTALLY independent. Do not need an physician. Alaska Montana Idaho Arizona

  17. Residency programs for NP graduates?

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

    From a bit of reseach, it appears only Maryland and Texas place these limitations on FNPs. I doubt many other states, at least in the west and north will do this as to many rural ERs are covered by...

  18. Residency programs for NP graduates?

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

    Actually, they are getting away from that model. See the consensus model the organizations have come up with. Texas is one of the most restrictive states for a NP to practice in. I would avoid it like...

  19. Do I need ICU experience for FNP?

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

    BTW, don't call NPs "mid-levels". We provide the same level of care and are judged the same as the physicians for our patient care.

  20. Do I need ICU experience for FNP?

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

    Thankfully, most states are not like Texas. Pretty idiotic to limit NP and their practice. The national organizations support being able to do what you can show you have training for. So an FNP can do...

  21. What does a Nurse Practitioner do?

    nomadcrna replied to sergel02's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Remember, each state has its own laws. Thankfully, not many are like Texas. I hope states shy away from locking NP into one certain practice pattern. Most states let you practice according to what you...

  22. What does a Nurse Practitioner do?

    nomadcrna replied to sergel02's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    FNPs can work in almost any area. You can find them in ER, urgent care, primary care offices, orthopediacs, cardiology and even in surgery, especially with the ortho guys. They can work as a...

  23. CRNA VS anesthesiologist MD

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

    The shorter 19 month track is for PAs who want to become anesthesia assistants. You must already be a PA. Even the PAs who do this program and become AAs are not "better" than CRNAs. Speaking as one...

  24. Residency programs for NP graduates?

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

    FNPs are the generalists, just as PAs are.

  25. Residency programs for NP graduates?

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

    You can work in surgery the same way PAs do as a FNP. You don't need to be a RNFA. We have a few FNPs that work with the Ortho guys in the OR.
