  1. Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania

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

    Never say never! While I personally don't work there, I know people who do. I know many people in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York from a variety of disciplines. In fact, when I lived in the...

  2. Shortest NP program

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

    No need to go to a school that will cost an arm and a leg. I don't advocate that anybody break the bank. A reputable state school will do just fine (emphasis on the word reputable though). It should...

  3. The economics of PA vs. NP

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

    And says a lot about those sinking to those levels, namely feeling threatened. At least that's the behavior I've seen in other situations where people feel threatened, so I think it can be...

  4. FNP no longer allowed to practice inpatient

    Neuro Guy NP replied to Heather7's topic in Advanced Practice

    Yeah ACNPs get exposure too, and I always had medical and ACNP students do things (intubate, lines, maybe even do a pass with a bronchoscope) with me when they rotated, but I wouldn't say they became...

  5. FNP no longer allowed to practice inpatient

    Neuro Guy NP replied to Heather7's topic in Advanced Practice

    I'll concede there are more PAs in the OR, but again ACNPs can do just as well. Clinical surgical rotations in school even for PAs just aren't long enough to really be able to say with a straight face...

  6. FNP no longer allowed to practice inpatient

    Neuro Guy NP replied to Heather7's topic in Advanced Practice

    I don't think the PA can do more procedures, as for example I do the full range of critical care procedures including bronchoscopy, intubation, EVD insertion, etc. Just not true. I do agree, however,...

  7. FNP no longer allowed to practice inpatient

    Neuro Guy NP replied to Heather7's topic in Advanced Practice

    I think ACNP is just fine for acute care. That's the whole point of the degree. And you can do outpatient specialty with ACNP as well. I don't see any advantage of PA. The main reason people like to...

  8. Anyone Using 'Doctor' Title at Work?

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

    No, I don't think

  9. Shortest NP program

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

    Yes please don't worry about program length. First find a high quality program and the rest will follow. Nothing in life that is worthwhile is quick or easy. If timing is a concern because of other...

  10. FNP no longer allowed to practice inpatient

    Neuro Guy NP replied to Heather7's topic in Advanced Practice

    Same in this region. No FNP for inpatient in Philadelphia, New Jersey, or New York City. ACNP only. New York actually licenses you according to your specialty. So your registration says "NP in Acute...

  11. AG-ACNP or FNP for Emergency Room and Trauma/Burn ICU?

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

    Puberty and up, which could be as young as 12 depending upon the patient. However, as a rule of thumb I don't support adult ACNPs seeing these patients if a specialized disorder is at play, such as...

  12. Limited Liability Company

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

    You may want to talk to a health attorney. I don't know about California, but MANY states do not allow regulated professionals to form LLCs. Instead, they have to firm PCs (professional corporations)...

  13. On line NP or On-campus Np? (MA)

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

    Agree. It's as if to say s/he would never have questions or need for chevron, further explanation, etc. That simply isn't true. And guess where you'd get that sort of thing? In a class! PAs and...

  14. Surgical procedures - NP

    Neuro Guy NP replied to Sun1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    There are many posts on this on this board already. Do a search and start reading through them abs you'll find some valuable information. You got some really good answers to some of your other...

  15. NP residency and salaries

    Neuro Guy NP replied to Sun1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Not sure I would agree completely. ICU jobs most certainly tend to pay more than primary care NP

  16. CRNA to ACNP or FNP repost

    Neuro Guy NP replied to CVCRNA1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Besides, as a CRNA you'll find the ACNP curriculum more interesting to you anyway as compared to FNP. Those attracted to CRNA are more of a acute care 'type' of folk and the FNP curriculum with its...

  17. What is entry level pay in NJ and NY for a psych DNP and Acute care DNP?

    Neuro Guy NP replied to The0Walrus's topic in Advanced Practice

    Well keep in mind that most ERs will prefer FNP due to the ability to see children. However, many NYC hospitals have pediatric ED separated from adult ED, however, again ED is typically marketed as...

  18. How old can a letter of recommendation be for FNP school?

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

    Not only that, but since you'll have RN experience, many programs will want a letter from a manager or supervisor or someone who can attest to your clinical acumen. It is good to have someone like an...

  19. What was your first AGACNP job?

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

    Not necessarily. At least in larger cities, like where I am there are plenty of inpatient only specialty jobs, like neurology, cardiology, ortho etc with separate outpatient ACNPs. Though I suspect...

  20. What was your first AGACNP job?

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

    No, it won't be applicable to an ICU or hospitalist position because it isn't related to those specialties. It just shows thst you've worked. You may need to consider relocating if possible....

  21. On line NP or On-campus Np? (MA)

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

    Agree. On campus. Maybe consider finding a reputable state school. At any rate, on campus you'll likely have better networking and professors who actually know you and can be references for you. The...

  22. Anyone Using 'Doctor' Title at Work?

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

    Most states will allow it as long as you also introduce yourself as a nurse practitioner in the same breath e. G. "Good morning, I'm Dr. jfmDNP, I'll be your nurse practitioner" or some other similar...

  23. AGACNP

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

    I'm Neurocritical Care by background but I have done neurosurgery on the side too, and yes they involved rounding, OR, and clinic. Clinic was twice a week and involved setting new patients for...

  24. AGACNP

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

    Yes, an ACNP can work outpatient in a specialty. It isn't limited to inpatient only. It all comes down to Consensus Statement. The only thing you would be prohibited doing is primary care. All else is...

  25. I walked out of a job fair after being Reminded why I left the southeast

    Neuro Guy NP replied to Tony1790's topic in Advanced Practice

    I used to live in Savannah! Shout out!!! (I practiced there as an RN and then left several years ago after becoming an ACNP. I too decided not to stay in the South. I practice independently now and...
