  1. What do you call a SICU NP? ICU/Critical Care/Surgical NP?

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

    You'll be an ICU NP since it's unlikely that role calls for OR time. But your specialty will be surgical critical care rather than general/medical critical care. The two obviously ha e plenty of...

  2. New-York-licensed-NP practicing as RN

    Neuro Guy NP replied to ADNRN2016's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Agree, take some time to search through previous posts before starting another one on the same topic that's been discussed 3000 times. And better yet, for your own piece of mind and protection of your...

  3. Can't decide between Maryville, Walden or La Salle Nurse practitioner programs

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

    Agree. 8 hours a week? What are you even going to learn? I'm not impressed that potential students would even consider that. At some point you've got to look past convenience and think about your...

  4. FNP vs. Acute Care Job Demand & Responsibilities

    Neuro Guy NP replied to SN2751's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Look at hospitals and other facilities near you and see if they're advertising for help. If not and you're not willing to move where the jobs are, it probably isn't worth getting the degree at this...

  5. Can an FNP work with just pediatrics?

    Neuro Guy NP replied to mads197's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Cuz FNP can do anything, of course!

  6. Can't decide between Maryville, Walden or La Salle Nurse practitioner programs

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

    Exactly. It's school. It isn't supposed to be flexible. My university's ACNP program arranges the sites. Either make it work or you don't. School is a big sacrifice and really isn't going to be any...

  7. Question about hospital privileges

    Neuro Guy NP replied to db2xs's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It sounds like you just need to keep it moving. I predict that even if they agree to help, you'll find out rather quickly that this job isn't for you. I sense major red flags so I suggest you spare...

  8. Question about hospital privileges

    Neuro Guy NP replied to db2xs's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Generally, if you're a hospital employee, they should have their medical staff office walk you through the process of getting privileges and go through the credentialing committee. If you're a private...

  9. Return to the bedside

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

    This.

  10. Return to the bedside

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

    What everyone is saying is true though. I have encountered many RNs who were entertaining NP school but had misconceptions, didn't understand the different tracks or potential options, or know...

  11. PhD nurses educating DNP students

    Neuro Guy NP replied to Neuro Guy NP's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    It depends on your program, which is why you must be choosy. Lack of standardization drives me up a wall. I think our profession could be so much more of we could just do this one thing. Nothing wrong...

  12. NP Employment Contract. I WANT TO LEAVE!

    Neuro Guy NP replied to BlueRN95's topic in Advanced Practice

    Good for you. You were at risk each moment you continued without your collaborative agreement or whatever CA calls

  13. PhD nurses educating DNP students

    Neuro Guy NP replied to Neuro Guy NP's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    You're right. I guess I should have phrased it differently. I would like to make the DNP curriculum more standardized and taught by DNP nurses. All my faculty in my DNP program were PhD doing pure...

  14. Psych Private Practice, What's Realistic?

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

    Not to be a Debbie downer here, but with the horse idea, definitely consider the liability of someone falling off a horse or getting injured. Mental health is not my specialty, but from what I...

  15. NP Employment Contract. I WANT TO LEAVE!

    Neuro Guy NP replied to BlueRN95's topic in Advanced Practice

    And on another point, I don't care if you do manage to resolve things with this physician professionally, I would leave this employment quickly! Any employer that can't handle basic legal matters and...

  16. NP Employment Contract. I WANT TO LEAVE!

    Neuro Guy NP replied to BlueRN95's topic in Advanced Practice

    Exactly. Consult a nurse attorney. They not only specialize in issues related to nurses and NPs, but this also includes the business aspect too. I'm obviously not an attorney, but that attorney will...

  17. Liability issues

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

    When you made that blanket

  18. Liability issues

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

    Remember there are 50 U.S jurisdictions plus the territories, so it's not cut and dry /one size fits all. That may be true where you live, and might not be true in the next state

  19. Ophthalmology NP

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

    So the OP was concerned that ophthalmology would be out of the scope of practice for an FNP - a non-surgical opportunity - but then took a surgical position with a spine surgeon...... There's a...

  20. Liability issues

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

    Yeah I don't buy the highest licensure thing either, not if you're not practicing in that role. Was talking to a colleague who's a nurse attorney specializing in defending RNs and NPs before the BON...

  21. Any NPs have scribes?

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

    I have in the past. I enjoyed it as it made me that much more efficient. Usually they do have medical terminology experience if not some patient care experience too, as most young scribes are looking...

  22. Drexel DNP or Capella EdD

    Neuro Guy NP replied to JenniferLou1025's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Drexel. Used to be a professor there, so the quality is good. You can be Faculty with a DNP. I find that those universities that snub DNPs for positions might not always be so generous with EdD...

  23. Any NP's with an S Corp - can we perform NP services if we incorporate as Nursing Corporation (not Medical)?

    Neuro Guy NP replied to Dk2013CA's topic in Advanced Practice

    Wish I could help, but CA has different laws. Over here, professionals cannot incorporate in the same way as other businesses but instead must form P.C.s which are different in many ways from the...

  24. Any NP's with an S Corp - can we perform NP services if we incorporate as Nursing Corporation (not Medical)?

    Neuro Guy NP replied to Dk2013CA's topic in Advanced Practice

    Consult an attorney, maybe even a nurse attorney. Look at the American Association of Nurse Attorneys for a listing of such attorneys in your area who are knowledgeable about NP practice issues in

  25. ACNP vs FNP: My Summarization of the Great Debate

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

    I don't dispute that at all. I'm just saying we're already seeing evidence of a paradigm shift with the development of the ENP and FNP/ACNP combo. How long it will take to see the culmination of this...
