  1. NBCRNA and the AANA... WOW!

    nomadcrna replied to ruler of kolob's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    You must be reading something the rest of us are not. We are NOT talking about a new organization to compete with the AANA. We are discussing a second credentialing

  2. NP vs PA vs CNS

    nomadcrna replied to OriolesMagic's topic in Advanced Practice

    There is absolutely no difference in PAs and NPs. It all comes down to the person. I can also say the same about physicians/NP/PA. After the NP/PA has been out of school for a few years anyway. They...

  3. NP: Still a nurse?

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

    All 30 of them? Talk about group think. Or maybe that is just rumor? Nothing wrong with being called a

  4. NBCRNA and the AANA... WOW!

    nomadcrna replied to ruler of kolob's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    hmm, no. Not the way it works. The certifying body does not dictate your practice, the states do. Many states just refer to the AANA scope of practice. Choice is great. If one certifying body tried to...

  5. What is your take home pay as Nurse Practitioner?

    nomadcrna replied to hik9258's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think that getting this info out there will only help NPs. To many NPs accept whatever is offered which is usually way below what they bring into the

  6. NP to CRNA?!

    nomadcrna replied to Missy89's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You can say the exact same thing and insert CRNA, MD etc into your argument. Of course you will always get people who are not as good as they should/could be. ICU nurses have been helping providers,...

  7. NP to CRNA?!

    nomadcrna replied to Missy89's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    No offense but you are thinking like a nurse and not a provider. I see that you are a SRNA. Make the leap to thinking like an independent, skilled provider. Use critical thinking skills here. A NP...

  8. What is your take home pay as Nurse Practitioner?

    nomadcrna replied to hik9258's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  9. NBCRNA and the AANA... WOW!

    nomadcrna replied to ruler of kolob's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Sorry WTB, I have to disagree with you. NP organizations are much more powerful. AANP alone has 36,000 members. That is only one of the NP organizations. There are quite a few more. As I'm a member of...

  10. NBCRNA and the AANA... WOW!

    nomadcrna replied to ruler of kolob's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    DNP and recert are two totally different issues. Not sure how you can make the leap, karma? Nothing wrong with 2 certifying bodies. NPs have that option and it is no big deal. Competition is

  11. Can CRNAs teach?

    nomadcrna replied to MCRN1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    You won't be teaching CRNAs with a nursing education

  13. Texas NPs

    nomadcrna replied to Missy89's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Note: The author is a bit confused about CRNA practice as the CMS opt out is ONLY for billing purposes. Another wards, you can still have independent practice but because the state has not "opted out"...

  14. Texas NPs

    nomadcrna replied to Missy89's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The states that I'm licensed in that NPs have unrestricted, independent practice are: Alaska, Arizona, Washington, Oregon, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming. There are a total of 19 (Nevada was just added) and...

  15. Texas NPs

    nomadcrna replied to Missy89's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I hate to break it to you. I ALREADY do the EXACT same job as the physicians. Absolutely no difference at all. I actually do many procedures that many FP physicians don't do. Oh my. I'm not bemoaning,...

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

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

    2012 PRO pay for CRNAs was 50k. CRNAs have received PRO pay since I was in the army in 1992. That is one incentive pay that will not stop. Compare apples to apples. Either compare both ICU RN and CRNA...

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

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

    This is not a normal blog. This is a CRNA blog. Opinions may be right or wrong but are just that, opinions. Sadly, some people will believe them as gospel since it was written on the internet. As we...

  19. Texas NPs

    nomadcrna replied to Missy89's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Wow, I fear for our profession. BTW, you do know there are other physicians besides MDs? But I suppose the DOs and DPMs are not "good" enough either. Just to be clear, as you like to put words in our...

    nomadcrna replied to Missy89's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  22. Texas NPs

    nomadcrna replied to Missy89's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Nobody said anything about critical care setting although many FNPs do critical care. We are talking about ACUTE care. Although critical care is a small portion of acute care, that is really not what...

  23. Texas NPs

    nomadcrna replied to Missy89's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Dont project your lack of acute care training onto other FNPs. Many FNPs have training and have been practicing for years in acute care. That is the whole point, the FNPs working in acute care DO HAVE...
