  1. Do crnas deserve that much salary?

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

    I'm not going to address the idiotic OP. I will address a couple of other questions I saw. 1. Yes RNs can intubated. Think "Flight Nurses". :) 2. To the poster who said CRNA and MDA training is...

  2. Does it bother CRNA's that MDA's get so much more...?

    nomadcrna replied to ICU, RN, BSN, B.S.'s topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    But you don't need MDAs, period. Supply and demand works only if you need a

  3. Does it bother CRNA's that MDA's get so much more...?

    nomadcrna replied to ICU, RN, BSN, B.S.'s topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Simple not true. I would expect a mod to know this or not comment. We practice under our own license. We are also independent in the majority of states. I'm not sure where you got this

  4. FNP job type options

    nomadcrna replied to LiveFit99's topic in Advanced Practice

    You can work almost anywhere. Many, many rural ERs are solo staffed by FNPs. They also have emergency nurse practitioner certification through the ANCC and AAENP. You must be a FNP for the AAENP

  5. Organic Chemistry

    nomadcrna posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I just finished Organic chemistry 1 through UNE. Incredibly difficult class. If anyone wants a review of the class, let me know. Ochem 2 in two weeks. Different professor and book. On a side note, the...

  6. New grad ER FNP salary expectations

    nomadcrna replied to mjgernurse's topic in Advanced Practice

    In Montana the average pay for ER NP is between 55-75/hr. Locums pays higher. You are solo and also expected to do some inpatient, admits/discharges

  7. CRNA vs MDA. Who wins?

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

    I have to laugh at the RNs who are not CRNA or other APRN specialties chiming in and telling us how we practice, REALLY? You don't have a clue, truly. This is not said to be a jerk, just the truth. I...

  8. Steps to become ER NP?

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

    The best way to become a ER NP is to already have ER experience. If you know and are known at the hospital. You may be able to find someone that is willing to train you. Maybe start in a urgent care...

  9. Steps to become ER NP?

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

    Sorry but your statements above make feel as if you have NOT done this. I also thought the way you do until I actually went through the process. Again, no offense but pm me proof of your ENP...

  10. Steps to become ER NP?

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

    Until they change it, I will continue to recommend against it. Hopefully the AANP will come out with an objective evaluation such as a test. It is a waste of $470 at this point. It is meaningless as...

  11. Is this job (nurse anesthetist) really as good as Im reading or no?

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

    Absolutely not

  12. Steps to become ER NP?

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

    Happy to oblige when I get home and off this ipad. no offense but your previous post in another thread made me think that you did not really understand the process. Would you mind if I verify your ENP...

  13. Steps to become ER NP?

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

    Lol. I was waiting for that. Nice try at a dig. I have a thick skin. So here you have someone who: 1. Has a doctorate 2. CRNA and FNP certification 3. ER education which includes a 2 year certificate...

  14. Steps to become ER NP?

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

    It is a waste of money for a couple of reasons. 1. You don't need it to practice 2. It does more to validate issues that have no bearing on how you are as an ER practitioner. 3. Do you even want a...

  15. Steps to become ER NP?

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

    I would absolutely not recommend the ANCC portfolio review. It need some major changes. as it is, it means squat. You don't need it to practice and it certainly does not validate your capabilities as...

  16. NP vs PA vs CNS

    nomadcrna replied to OriolesMagic's topic in Advanced Practice

    So now a musician is telling us the difference between PA and NP. Really? What you posted is very far from the

  17. PNP or FNP for increased job opportunities?

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

    You are right, I apologize. I just get so irritated when non-NPs or even RN come to the forum and give uneducated information. Some people reading it may actually believe

  18. PNP or FNP for increased job opportunities?

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

    What you don't seem to understand is that the pharm courses ARE THE SAME. How many times do we have to post it. THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE. IF there were a difference, the school would be going against...

  19. PNP or FNP for increased job opportunities?

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

    Again, no offense but finish your RN, get you NP and you may have some credibility. You examples are uneducated. Yes, it does give you less weight when you are not an NP or even an RN yet. Giving an...

  22. PNP or FNP for increased job opportunities?

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

    Are you an NP? No? Are you an RN? No? Then it is pretty much impossible for you to understand that yes, FNPs do the same with peds and there is NO difference in outcomes. Sorry but that is just the...

  23. PNP or FNP for increased job opportunities?

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

    Sorry, still does not add up. List the school and

  24. PNP or FNP for increased job opportunities?

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

    Then your school is NOT following the consensus model. They are only hurting you although I fail to see how they teach "only" pediatric pharmacology. LOL When you finish school and actually become a...

  25. PNP or FNP for increased job opportunities?

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

    No offense but pharm is pharm. what you are taking is probably therapeutics. Do you really think adult pharm is different from peds pharm or geriatric pharm etc? I took a pharm class last year titled...
