  1. Aprn trauma

    Neuro Guy NP replied to kateee's topic in Advanced Practice

    Yes, you'll find more residency/post graduate programs. Check out St. Luke's in Bethlehem, PA just north of Philly. There's Carilion Clinic too plus a few others I know but manage to slip my mind at...

  2. NP vs PA vs CNS

    Neuro Guy NP replied to OriolesMagic's topic in Advanced Practice

    The reason PA school has class such as these (biochem or anatomy, etc) is because you need not have any previous medical degree prior to entry. Furthermore, let's not get too hung up on course titles....

  3. Billing questions (and other cures for insomnia)

    Neuro Guy NP replied to Alicia777's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Btw your ability to bill holds true even if your state requires a collaborative practice agreement,

  4. Billing questions (and other cures for insomnia)

    Neuro Guy NP replied to Alicia777's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    PAs are not independent providers, so in no state can they bill for their services independently of the physician. APRNs ARE independent providers separately licensedand can independently bill for...

  5. FNP to ENP?

    Neuro Guy NP replied to truon043's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    But at the end of the day, this program nor any other like it qualify the student to sit for the ANCC's ENP

  6. FNP to ENP?

    Neuro Guy NP replied to truon043's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    But at the end of the day, this does not qualify you to sit for ENP boards from the

  7. First medication error... And the last.

    Neuro Guy NP replied to AnthoScott's topic in General Students

    I am so glad you learned something from this experience. Medication mistakes can be horrific for both the patient and the nurse. Thankfully, most mistakes result in no patient harm. Anyone in the...

  8. Value of Post-grad Fellowship

    Neuro Guy NP replied to Avenger1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Some good points are mentioned here, thigh i disagree with others. Fellowships or residencies can still be very valuable. I am in one myself In fact my side job as a rapid response NP felt that my...

  9. FNP to ENP?

    Neuro Guy NP replied to truon043's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    If you look on the ANCC website, you'll see that the ENP certification available by then is a portfolio certification only. This that you cannot get your INITIAL board cert with them. Per their...

  10. AFib with rvr versus PAT

    Neuro Guy NP replied to june2009's topic in Critical Care

    Based on your description, it seems to me the rhythm was in fact SVT. You said the R waves were regular, so by definition it could not have been Afib, which is an irregular rhythm (easiest way to tell...

  11. Acute vs. Primary Care NP? Can't decide

    Neuro Guy NP replied to EGVnurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Not sure about that one.... My ACNP program was a solid three years long (fall, spring, and summer semesters). I've not seen the programs be any shorter. That being said I'm so aggravated that people...

  12. Minute clinics question...

    Neuro Guy NP replied to sarajy0523's topic in Advanced Practice

    I've seen their postings. Usually FNP only. Plus they limit the conditions that their providers treat, so you really won't treat the full spectrum of family practice patients, just select minor...

  13. The hospitalist dilemma

    Neuro Guy NP replied to sauce's topic in Advanced Practice

    Exactly

  14. The hospitalist dilemma

    Neuro Guy NP replied to sauce's topic in Advanced Practice

    Yes this is similar to a thread that many of us participated in not long ago if remember right, but I digress. Many states are issuing position statements on matters such as

  15. Surgical Clearance

    Neuro Guy NP replied to snoflak25's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yes, I don't see why not, particularly if you work for a surgical group. Most often, a surgeon will ask pulmonology or cardiology to clear a patient from their standpoint if the patient in question...

  16. Would you be willing to do this?

    Neuro Guy NP replied to CocoaLoverFNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I absolutely would not. That's way too long of a time period. What working job would you have while trying to work for free full time

  17. What is your biggest struggle

    Neuro Guy NP replied to synaptic's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Not sure where it is that everyone is making these crappy salaries but i went to school in Georgia. I'm a recent grad. My classmates who stayed got acute care jobs with physicians i know well and none...

  18. delegating physician

    Neuro Guy NP replied to Jeremy G's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Also just think of all the FNPs and ANPs working the hospital. Technically, they are primary care trained but it's not illegal for them to work in the acute care environment in Georgia as they have...

  19. delegating physician

    Neuro Guy NP replied to Jeremy G's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hello! I just finished up school a short time ago and did my schooling in Georgia. What we learned in school (and one of my professors up until not too long ago served in the Georgia Board of Nursing)...

  20. ACNP jobs

    Neuro Guy NP replied to littlepeopleRNICU's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am starting my DNP in August with Chatham University. I do believe that the DNP degree needs to be made much more uniform like the BSN and MSN degrees. Currently there is a lot of variability, which...

  21. ACNP jobs

    Neuro Guy NP replied to littlepeopleRNICU's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Also, anecdotally many that I've spoken to chose FNP because of "being able to all ages." My only thing about this position is that unless you are actually working family practice, usually you'll see...

  22. ACNP jobs

    Neuro Guy NP replied to littlepeopleRNICU's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    ACNP is a fairly new specialty compared to the "established" FNP. While there are many FNPs working in acute care, and are very competent mind you, the Consensus Model will have a large impact on...

  23. ACNP jobs

    Neuro Guy NP replied to littlepeopleRNICU's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hello there! I'm a brand new ACNP and I'm actually headed to residency program for neurosurgery. I'll start this September. I'll be learning first assisting skills in OR as well as other neurosurgical...

  24. Any NPs that still work as RN?

    Neuro Guy NP replied to delilahgirl's topic in Nurse Management

    I'm currently in my ACNP program. Sometimes, if I think this poses a problem I will omit my Master's program from my resume. The only time I put in that I am furthering my education is when applying...

  25. NP preceptor needed in Southeast Georgia

    Neuro Guy NP posted a topic in Advanced Practice

    Hi all, I am an FNP student in the Southeast Georgia area and will be in need of a preceptor. I am really worried I won't be able to find a preceptor for my practicum component of the program. I am...
