  1. Combined NNP/PNP programs

    NeuroNP replied to NeuroNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The only problem with Duke's program is that it's geared towards Rural health. I don't know about you, but if I got a PNP, I'd really want to do PICU. I'm sure that the PNP from the Duke program...

  2. Limitations on NP practice

    NeuroNP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    So, if you have an ACNP, you're limited to seeing adults in an acute care setting, right? Is that just for billing purposes, or is that alltogether? For example, if you were an ACNP, but wanted to...

  3. an interesting and somewhat ignorant article title

    NeuroNP replied to zrmorgan's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Yeah. I don't know many doctors who are administering anesthesia/sedation in offices... BTW, I'm not sure how to take your response to me last post. "Yep." OK, I get that you arre saying that I am...

  4. an interesting and somewhat ignorant article title

    NeuroNP replied to zrmorgan's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I could be wrong, but I don't think that paindoc's questioning whether or not CRNAs are providing 65% of anesthetics, but rather saying, don't assume that 100% of anesthetics are being provided by...

  5. Why not get FNP & ACNP at same time???

    NeuroNP replied to CrazyPremed's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    http://www.mc.vanderbilt.edu/nursing/msn/fnpacnpec.html Vanderbilt has (new?) program that does just that. It combines FNP and ACNP and offers classes geared towards Emergency Care. The rationale is...

  6. Nashville APRN

    NeuroNP posted a topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Originally I was planning on going to PA school after a few years of nursing experience because it's been my experience that PAs get to do more of what I'd like to do ER/Trauma/ICU than do NPs....

  7. Best place to go

    NeuroNP posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am looking for information and opinions on the best place to go after graduation in the DC area. I'm not from around there, but I'd like to relocate after graduation and DC is one of the areas I'm...

  8. Can you be called "Doctor" with a PhD in Nursing?

    NeuroNP replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Here's my question: As I understand it, a physician educated in Australia or the UK does NOT recieve a doctoral degree, but rather an MBBS (Which I believe is a Bachelors of Medicine and Surgery?). I...

  9. Off topic- Places to stay

    NeuroNP posted a topic in General Nursing

    Everyone, OK, so this isn't nursing related, but I figured this would be a good place to get input. I'm getting ready to take a quick (4 day) vacation to the DC area in a few weeks and I'm having a...

  10. Closed vs. open unit

    NeuroNP posted a topic in MICU, SICU

    How many of you work in a closed unit? That is, only the "intensivist" service can admit to your unit. Do you think it works better than the open model? I've read a lot lately to suggest that...

    I posted this a year or so ago, but never got any responses.... Anyone have any experience with NPs working as Intensivists? I know that you can get an ACNP with specialization in critical care, but...

  14. PNP in ICU

    NeuroNP posted a topic in PICU, Pediatric

    I'm interested in becoming an NP and focusing in the ICU. Right now I'm debating between adults and peds. I really like the challenge of working with kids but I'm wondering what the opportunities...

  15. RN to NP in the same unit

    NeuroNP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I've gotten lots of people telling me that if I want to get a good job as an ACNP in an ICU, that I should try to get my ICU experience in the unit I'd like to work in. That way, the docs get to know...

  16. Rnfa's

    NeuroNP replied to joey442000's topic in Operating Room

    siri, i appreciate it, but i'm not necessarily interested just in tx. i just mentioned it because the previous poster did. i'm looking to move at some point and that is one of the states i'm...

  17. Rnfa's

    NeuroNP replied to joey442000's topic in Operating Room

    Is it common for NPs in TX to find a job where you can first assist? That's what I'd like to do, get my ACNP and RNFA and work with a surgery group covering patients in the ICU, floor and first...

  18. Questions about Universal Healthcare

    NeuroNP posted a topic in International Nursing

    OK, I'm an American and I just read "Nursing:Against the Odds" by Suzanne Gordon. In it, she makes a strong push for Universal Healthcare, claiming that not only will it help people, but actually...

  19. Anyone work at Medstar?

    NeuroNP posted a topic in General Nursing

    Specifically, the MEDSTAR Trauma center at Washington Hospital Center? I'm hoping to move to DC after graduation and would like to perhaps work there. I really like Trauma but I'm also looking at...

  21. Resuscitation in the ICU

    NeuroNP posted a topic in MICU, SICU

    A friend of mine recently started in a Trauma/Surgical ICU where they do all acute resuscitation in the unit. A trauma patient stops in the ED for about 15 minutes, enough time for the team to do a...

  22. Resuscitation in the ICU

    NeuroNP replied to NeuroNP's topic in MICU, SICU

    Wow. I used to work as a tech in the ED of a level I Trauma center. For our highest level of activation (we had 3), we got trauma attending/fellow, senior resident, junior resident, anesthesia,...

    NeuroNP replied to luckybear104's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    I did a stint in school in the PICU of a major Children's Hospital and I had a pt one day in his mid-20s. He had congenital problems and had been treated at this institution since birth. He'd been...

  24. How long do acute traumas stay in your ED?

    NeuroNP posted a topic in Emergency

    I posted something on the SICU board about handling trauma resuscitation in the ICU rather than the ED and I'm beginning to think that what I'm thinking is "different" is actually the norm. In the ED...

  25. How long do acute traumas stay in your ED?

    NeuroNP replied to NeuroNP's topic in Emergency

    Do you guy typically have separate rooms for resuscitation? All our traumas came in and went directly to a bed. This meant that if there was someone in that bed, they had to be moved somewhere else....
