    DNP or CRNA

    zmansc replied to pjkgrd's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    FNP vs AGNP?

    zmansc replied to Jessicalynn's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree with Teleflurry up to an extent, if you have no doubt that you will never want to treat kids, then AGNP would be a good path. However, to play the devil's advocate in the argument, I'd much...

    Locum Tenens

    zmansc replied to SMFNP2014's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    OP - If your willing to travel another option might be to look at permanent positions in other areas of the country that are in high need areas. I know there are many VA, IHS and other government...

    Specialize in Pediatric AND Adult emergency care?

    zmansc replied to Juniper248's topic in Emergency

    I live in a small town, small community ER, so we see it all and I don't think that is what you are after. If your admin won't allow you to float between the two, is there another ER in town that you...

    Family nurse practitioner vs pediatric nurse practioner

    zmansc replied to kprice17's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I don't know about other job markets, in our two largest provider groups (one private, one a community health center) the NPs and all of the providers really have narrowed their focus to specific...

    NC and Distance/Out-of-State NP Programs

    zmansc replied to PatMac10,RN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yes, I got an email from administration yesterday, but wasn't able to post until today. FNU is accepting applicants for the MSN/FNP program. They are still working on getting the DNP program approved,...

    Too many online NP programs

    zmansc replied to laudate's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    So do you have any statistical evidence to back up your claim, or is it like the many others that you have just made up in the past? There is nothing wrong with trying to be informative, but if you...

    BS in Public Health --> MSN/FNP Program

    zmansc replied to EMEddie's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Your post doesn't mention if you already have a RN degree, but I'm going to assume you do. Have you looked into programs that take a RN w/ non BSN BS degree and end up with a FNP/MSN. Some may even...

    online np program

    zmansc replied to lmarti10's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I would definitely recommend my program, and I'm sure there are others who would recommend their programs. I think picking the right online program is a fairly difficult task, but they certainly serve...

    Advanced Clinical Consultants | Bringing Healthcare to Your Door… Dr. Scharmaine Lawson-Baker in New Orleans is well known for her work in this field. I think if you look up her story you will find...

    That certain odor on some patients and their visitors

    zmansc replied to Emergent's topic in Emergency

    Let me just say the 72yo male pt I had yesterday, who test + for meth had no tattoos, nor did he appear "white trashy" or smell bad. He did have an attitude that clued us in that he might be having...

    meditech 6.0

    zmansc replied to BrianLogan's topic in Emergency

    Probably the EDM, whatever that is. PCI is what our floors use, and I use it to look up information about the pt's past visits. If EDM is the part with the trackers, then that's what we use. I do my...

    Any Psych Nurse Practitioner's out there?

    zmansc replied to HealingThoughts's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    $80k at a VA with a pension is what, around $100k at a private practice, probably way more if you already have a few years of government service to add

    question to ER folks

    zmansc replied to tarotale's topic in Emergency

    I think a lot of it depends on the facility, their policies, and the director of the unit. For example, at my hospital cross training is allowed but there are restrictions. There have been certain...

    What would you do in this situation?

    zmansc replied to EMEddie's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    First, I would not be so certain that you and he are in the exact same situation unless you have looked at each official transcript and compared it to the classes on the BSN degree plan and can...

    Nurse Practitioners Modernization Act....

    zmansc replied to Barnstormin' PMHNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Barnstormin' - In certain situations in non-independent practice states NPs have had to pay physicians, I don't believe that will be the case in NY after this statue goes into effect. I'm basing this...

    meditech 6.0

    zmansc replied to BrianLogan's topic in Emergency

    We use some version of meditech, I only know it's not the current version because whenever I ask why we don't have xyz feature, they tell me it's in the next version that will be coming. I have found...
