  1. Jobs for ACNP's in the hospital outside of the ICU

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

    Plenty. Hospitalist, and subspecialties like cardiology, neurology, surgery, and many others. Just do some basic research like look at hospital job postings etc. Simple

  2. HOW TO BECOME A NNP??

    Neuro Guy NP replied to KPalmer2017's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    NNP is its own specialty. You must attend an NNP program to become one. FNP will not in any way prepare you for that role. While you are doing research (which I'm surprised you didn't find this tidbit...

  3. EVD Placement

    Neuro Guy NP replied to perez661nic's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I place EVDs routinely. Every hospital in the area has NPs/PAs that do even if there are residents. Not sure why this would be a big deal. Go for

  4. Fellow ship (as in MD kind) good idea?

    Neuro Guy NP replied to Tony1790's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    DEFINITELY do it!! I did one in neurocrit /neuroendovascular surgery. Initially was going to be one year, but we agreed to redo the program and I ended up completing 21 months of fellowship training....

  5. Non nursing PhD

    Neuro Guy NP replied to SDStudent1's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    And actually yes, I do find that the program strongly enriched my clinical practice. It has made a world of difference, in concert with my fellowship program that I did

  6. Non nursing PhD

    Neuro Guy NP replied to SDStudent1's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Actually I'm an ACNP practicing in neurosurgery and Neurocritical Care. My program more medical based, approaching neuroscience from a neurobiological perspective (courses like medical neuroscience,...

  7. Best Doctorate Degree

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

    From what you're saying about your desire to do work with at risk populations, this scream doctorate in public health to me. Alternatively, a nursing Ph.D. with a concentration in public health or at...

  8. Non nursing PhD

    Neuro Guy NP replied to SDStudent1's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Some Neuroscience PhD programs are more 'psych geared' such as Princeton's. Their program has tracks dedicated to addictions, behavior, and that aspect of neuroscience, whereas others, such as my...

  9. Can Acute Care NPs work in Outpatient Specialty Clinics?

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

    Yes, ACNP can work in specialty clinic. Pediatrics will not be an issue because pediatrics will go to their own specialists, i.e pediatric cardiology, etc. A general cardiologist would never touch a...

  10. Nurse Practitioners with Medical students

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

    In my current role, I often precept medical students. However, in addition to being a graduate nursing professor, I was also just appointed as faculty in the medical school as of August. The courses...

  11. Neurology vs Urology

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

    The benefits with the neurology position seem stingy. Plus in clinic

  12. Everyone is in NP school !

    Neuro Guy NP replied to Atl-Murse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Weak students won't make it through my class. I'll fail you in a heart beat if you're not up to snuff. We can't afford to release ****** NPs out there to prescribe and diagnose. I'm annoyed like you...

  13. Should I inform current employer of APRN license?

    Neuro Guy NP replied to MJC2118's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yes that whole different standard thing is hogwash. You're only responsible for the role in which you are practicing. BON regs say so. Most states explicitly say that nothing in their APN laws shall...

  14. Question for surgical NPs?

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

    You don't HAVE to have RNFA training as a legal requirement in most states with the exception of New Jersey. On the job training will suffice as an NP. Perhaps they are willing to do that. That being...

  15. NP Informed Consents in Pennsylvania

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

    True, I wouldnt read too much into it. We routinely sign our names on the "physician" line on DNR forms

  16. NP Informed Consents in Pennsylvania

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

    n Bulman v. Myers, 467 A.2d 1353 (Pa. Super. 1983), the Superior Court rejected the appellant's argument that the trial court erred in declining to charge the jury that "a patient cannot formulate a...

  17. Gotta bad feeling about this place.....

    Neuro Guy NP replied to Melody007_FNP-C's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Read Liz Ryan's career articles on forbes.com. That will give you all the information you need to into sussing out potential bad employers, fearful managers, you will learn so many things about the...

  18. Documenting injection the MD gave

    Neuro Guy NP replied to SaltySarcasticSally's topic in General Nursing

    Like another poster wrote, at most of the hospitals where I am credentialing, the medical staff does not have the ability to document they gave a medication because we don't scan or administer...

  19. Starting own NP practice

    Neuro Guy NP replied to MsMeliss83's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Amen on this one! This is the best business book an NP could buy! I also

  20. Any NP's start off in a new state for their first job?

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

    Yes, I moved from Georgia where I was an RN to Pennsylvania after NP school. I did my fellowship training in PA & NJ with a large practice at an academic university setting. I now continue to...

  21. Brave or just stupid?

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

    ACNP all the way if you're do inpatient work. Consensus model is gaining traction in a lot of places, especially here in the northeast, so marinate on

  22. Malpractice insurance/public service announcement

    Neuro Guy NP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    So I was talking with a group of colleagues at my per diem job and I was very shocked to find that out of the group, 3 NPs did not have their own malpractice policy. Instead they are relying only on...

  23. Brave or just stupid?

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

    If your program offers the two tracks, intensivist and hospitalist, do yourself a favor and do the ICU track! Please heed that advice because you'll get ICU knowledge that can easily be translated...

  24. Brave or just stupid?

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

    Just to clarify something, as an ACNP it is more correct to say we see patients who are PUBERTY (the point in which the patient becomes an 'adult') and up, which may or may not be age 12 or 13 for...

  25. Hospital NPs & Lounge Access

    Neuro Guy NP replied to wyld~heart's topic in Advanced Practice

    This is definitely disrespectful to say the least and showed that they do not hold you guys in high regard. Leave! One of the hospitals where I am credentialed actually has 2 NPs on the Med Exec...
