  1. The Florida job market cannot be this bad?!

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

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

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

    Not sure how he figures this as nursing corp rank is not broken down based on what type of nursing you do. Military CRNA also get a very large yearly

  3. Any NPs here who are Surgical Nurses as well ??

    nomadcrna replied to Devon Rex's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yes, you can first assist as a NP. You would most likely be hired by the surgeon not the hospital. Urologist ARE surgeons as well. I've never seen a first assist NP or PA working with a urologist...

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

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

    I suppose you evidence for the wild statements of money being the major factor? Or are you just pulling this from the air? Part of being a clinician/provider is understanding evidence based medicine....

  5. MDs dont own the physician title

    nomadcrna replied to platon20's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Because we need to promote and fight for our profession. If we just focus on "what we love" and ignore what needs to change, our profession will go

  6. Emergency Nurse Practitioner Certification

    nomadcrna replied to Corey Narry's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    After looking at the requirements, I hope they change a few things to make it more clinically oriented. As it stands now, there is a bunch of "fluff" that is absolutely not needed. Some has no bearing...

  9. MDs dont own the physician title

    nomadcrna replied to platon20's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    OMG, get the mid level provider out of your vocabulary. WE ARE NOT CONSIDERED MID LEVEL PROVIDERS. Our PEERS are all practitioners in your specialty to include physicians, NPs and PAs. If you are in...

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

    If you are an FNP and not in a restrictive practice state. You can find a job as a hospitalist or in an ICU as an intensivist. Might be difficult without any FNP experience but not impossible. ER...

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

    Having a broad general medical education will help you. I find in anesthesia that my FNP education is very

  13. Family Nurse Practitioner AND Nurse Midwife??

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

    You will be doing both by being able to delivery total care to your patients. You do not necessarily have to have two jobs. OB/GYN patients have general medical issues as well.

  14. How do you figure out what specialty to pick?

    nomadcrna replied to HeartNursing3's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    OMG, stop with this already. If you are going to give out information, make sure it is accurate. No state that I'm aware of is going to limit FNP from working in specialty clinics and center. They are...

    jwk would argue that 99% does not equal almost all. LOL He can't be

  17. AANA urges Medicare to consider hospital anesthesiology efficiency measures

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

    Thanks for finally agreeing that I am right. Almost all rural anesthetics are provided by CRNAs. Once again, I'm sorry AAs are so limited and need the MDA. Don't take it out on

  18. MDs dont own the physician title

    nomadcrna replied to platon20's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Why on earth does a physician feel the need to come to a nursing forum, seriously. You guys have your own forums where you are able to bash NPs. You come to our house and lecture us about how we...

  19. AANA urges Medicare to consider hospital anesthesiology efficiency measures

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

    Trying to spin again. Truly is like talking to my teenager. LOL I'll speak slower. The MDAs tend to work in Urban Centers and not rural. CRNAs DO work in rural...

  21. AANA urges Medicare to consider hospital anesthesiology efficiency measures

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

    Let them go and work there. They will still get paid. Let them go and bill for their services as many CRNAs do. So no response about "free market"? That is your MO. Ignore when you have no...

  22. Who has both AANP and ANCC certifications? Should I?

    nomadcrna replied to BostonRN13's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Which employer? I've never heard of anyone requiring one certification over the other. I'd be interested in "calling about a job".

  23. AANA urges Medicare to consider hospital anesthesiology efficiency measures

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

    Don't put words in my mouth. That is the desperate act of someone who has no rational argument. Why would a critical access hospital want AAs ? WHY? The hospital needs to do less than 800 cases a...

    So now you call me a liar? So I made up what happened at my last two hospitals? In your limited view, you don't realize the difference in various regions. Nor do you have any understanding of pass...
