  1. DNP Fluff

    PG2018 replied to Malenurse1235954's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I'm not sure we could validate the latter statements. Qualitatively, we can see that PA students take courses designed with a more rigorous and quantitative base. I think many enter nursing, take...

  2. DNP Fluff

    PG2018 replied to Malenurse1235954's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Oh, really? How so? I'm a NP. I don't do anything but evaluate and treat psychiatric patients and enter evals and progress notes into the EHR. Let me reiterate, I don't do anything but the...

  3. Special Pay-Army (Active/Reserves)

    PG2018 replied to Dranger's topic in Government, Military

    Danger. I'd love to talk with you about army reserve nursing. I'd PM now, but it's late and my box I'd usually

  4. NP vs. PA, how is the military role different, and which is the better option?

    PG2018 replied to Star_Couch's topic in Government, Military

    I submit that you'll continue to chase this idea into infinitum. The military doesn't occupy a battlefield 24/7 so the idea of choosing a career, as a nurse particularly, to treat only battlefield...

  5. NP vs. PA, how is the military role different, and which is the better option?

    PG2018 replied to Star_Couch's topic in Government, Military

    I'd like to slip through and pose a question to the OP. What type of trauma are you wanting to see or treat, and do you have a quantity of cases or duration of time in

  6. DNP/PHD Dual Program Opinions

    PG2018 replied to rchembunny's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Oh, ok, so in outpatient psych, any ideas on my application for

  7. DNP/PHD Dual Program Opinions

    PG2018 replied to rchembunny's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Why not just a PhD? Combined degrees are no more marketable, require more strain, require more money, require more time, and are no better for administrative or academic

  8. MD to NP

    PG2018 replied to Malenurse1235954's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What's with nursing requiring a course in nutrition? Mine was so low yield I can honestly say it was just a check on a

  9. Locum Tenens Rates

    PG2018 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Fellow NPs, I'm reaching out hoping to get some jet setting, paid travel, weekend assignemtns across the U.S. I haven't received any offers, but have been asked if I'd take 65-70/hour positions...

  10. MD to NP

    PG2018 replied to Malenurse1235954's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I felt like A&P was too condensed. Once I took patho, I realized the gaps, and in taking patho I again realized the gaps. My "advanced" patho was too verbose to extract anything meaningful from...

  11. MD to NP

    PG2018 replied to Malenurse1235954's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What about NP scholastics at all mirrors medical academics? I don't see how such a path would be possible without starting

  12. NPI number?

    PG2018 replied to rnkaytee's topic in Advanced Practice

    It's needed to bill. Your arrangement may allow using an institutional NPI. Just get if you're

  13. Doctor's negative view of NP / Psych NP

    PG2018 replied to Granted Fal's topic in Advanced Practice

    As long as I'm getting paid. I don't give a rat's tail what physicians think (or patients for that

  14. Is it bad or unprofessional to hide from drug company reps

    PG2018 replied to Goldenfox's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'll talk to them about anything, but I seldomly prescribe new meds. In psych, they seldomly work better and are stupid

  15. Just "NP"

    PG2018 replied to matthewandrew's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My state requires Name, APRN. Whatever alphabet soup you choose to offer beyond that is up to you. Still, many seem to make up something like PNP or FNP-C or PMHNP-BC instead of the statutory APRN,...

  16. Too many NPs?

    PG2018 replied to Annachu512's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Too many FNPs. Too many schools with a focus in FNP. Too many ways to become a FNP. I like FNPs. There's just too many of

  17. Comparing Use of Low-Value Health Care Services Among U.S. midlevels & physicians

    PG2018 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Since no one ever posts any of these studies when I ask them to, I happened to find one sitting in my inbox this morning thanks to NEJM Journal Watch. Comparing Use of Low-Value Health Care Services...

  18. Which offer? ED or URGENT CARE?

    PG2018 replied to JCBJLT's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Where you have the best quality of life is where you should go. For me, laid back, coughs and craps, autonomy points to UC. For you maybe, anal retentive. IV pump using,, micromanaging nurse managers...

  19. Can NPs delegate to PAs?

    PG2018 replied to Grumble88's topic in Advanced Practice

    I hate typos and

  20. Can NPs delegate to PAs?

    PG2018 replied to Grumble88's topic in Advanced Practice

    Then no. You can only delegate functionally supervisory tasks, e.g. what I described. You couldn't hire one yourself. But conversely, if there's a physician involved as the practice supervisor for...

  21. Becoming an FNP after graduating as an AGNP?

    PG2018 replied to GoldenRetriever's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Get a post masters cert. Where I went ( a state uni) you'd only need the child and repro/gun class and clinicals and I think the national cert requires a minimum 500 hours school clinical time for...

  22. Thank you VA!

    PG2018 replied to MikeFNPC's topic in Advanced Practice

    Why's it gotta be a

  23. Thank you VA!

    PG2018 replied to MikeFNPC's topic in Advanced Practice

    I make, depending on bonus accounting, 50-100k more than my VA preceptor and do nothing clerical and experience red tape only from insurance companies. I also come and go as I please. As much as I the...

  24. Can NPs delegate to PAs?

    PG2018 replied to Grumble88's topic in Advanced Practice

    What is your connotation of delegate and what are you wanting to delegate? You cannot independently employ a PA, but if you're their supervisor you can delegate any non clinical task and direct them...

  25. Scope of practice in the emergency department

    PG2018 replied to NSC Nursing's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    They're credentialed by the hospital. When I was in the ED, you could look on the intranet and view their credentials. The ED PAs and NPs had the same documents with the second scope. The NPs were all...
