New AGNP with a question... Can an adult-gero primary care NP work in a plastic surgery office seeing post-op patients? No, there would be no rounding in the hospital. No, there would be no stepping in the OR -- strictly in the clinic ...

Hi! Thank you for your reply… that’s the line of thinking I was going for. I’ve also found a lot of other AGPCNP’s in my area who work in the field, so that helped too. Thank you again!

In my opinion, the aesthetics industry has a lot to do with networking, and being persistent. If you are not currently in the field or have a solid amount of experience, I have found that no one will teach you anything for free (unless a practice hir...

It's funny you mention travel and aesthetics -- I just saw an assignment posted on Medely for a need for an injector in CA. Might be worth looking into! I myself do per diem travel contracts, and am currently training as an injector -- but it is...

Any NP's out there working in fire departments/EMS? What kind of NP are you (FNP, AG-ACNP, etc.)? What do you do? Do you like what you do? Curious about this position!

Is this possible? An FNP also functioning as a First Assist (ex: in an outpatient surgery center)? Would this not be considered acute care or a role only for an acute care NP? If an FNP can function as a first assist.. in what setting would...

There was no assumption that the RNFA role is an advanced practice role. I know what the credential is and how the role works when an RN is certified to be a first-assist. I just didn't word the original question correctly and I think it confused man...

Right.. but here we are specifically referring to FNPs. The ones you are referring to are most likely acute care NP's. But I've also seen FNP's in some states who function this way as well. As others have responded.. looks like it varies from state ...

Yes, I knew an RN can be a RNFA.. but I have seen PA's and NP's doing procedures alone (kidney stone removal/stent placement, TURP's, etc.), with no surgeon present. I don't think an RN can do something to that capacity, as far as I know. So I'm cur...

AMEN. That is all.

The moment patients and their families became "clients".. that's where it all went downhill. I love taking care of people, but I don't get paid to be cussed at, spit on, bitten, strangled by my stethoscope, or sexually assaulted by a patient or their...

Yes, thank you!

Yikes.. the last part of your statement. I always wondered how unsafe it felt to go into random people's homes..

I'm also curious to know how paramedics or other EMS personnel feel about this newly implemented position for NP's? Feel free to drop a comment about your thoughts!

Thanks so much for your input! I had a strong feeling they were using FNPs for this, especially considering the fact that they'd have to treat anyone in the population. I just didn't know if this would be an environment that the "consensus model" did...

Interesting. What sites do you see these postings on? I'm from Atlanta and all I see is "licensed nurse practitioner" or things like that under the description.. I never see which kind of NP they want. I think the 2015 thing you're referring to might...

Can FNP's work in outpatient surgical centers (ex: plastics, urology, general surgery, etc.)? Many people give me confusing responses. You wouldn't be in a hospital or rounding in one.. and the patients that have surgery in this outpatient setting ar...

Ran into this post hoping to find answers, but you have no replies smh. I'm an RN in GA and starting FNP school this November.. Did you end up finding a job? If so, what do you do now?

Agreed, no one really educates you on what will be available to you after you graduate and get certified. I certainly don't think I can do whatever I want as a future FNP. In fact, I chose this track bc I do not plan (nor do I want to) be in an acute...

Got it. I'm actually trying to avoid the hospital But I will continue to do my research on the outpatient clinic subject. I'm sure they can't assist in surgery, but I bet there are other things they could do within the arena, as someone has stated b...

Well, I'm about to start school and have chosen the FNP track. I'm currently an RN working in the CVICU. From my understanding, the state of Georgia was going to essentially stop FNPs from working in acute care, even if they had already been practici...

It's hard to say. I have not run into a job posting that lists specific duties for the NP. Nor does it specifically say what type of NP they are seeking. So it's hard to see where an FNP could be needed or used when no one specifies. I'm from Georgi...

I agree with the people talking about NP's (and PA's) filling a void, especially in the primary care arena. Even in the acute/critical care setting.. I work nights in CVICU and in one of the hospitals where I worked, we had no attending at night. It...

If you want some REAL shoes for work... try Hoka. Many nurses, including myself, swear by them. Take it from someone with a degenerated lumbar disc and who tried all the basic nursing shoes people get (Dansko, Nursemates, Nike, etc). Hoka sneakers...
