  2. Medicare wellness visit

    MedictoRN replied to new_horizons555's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  7. Letters after name? FNP, APRN, etc

    MedictoRN replied to futureeastcoastNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I get inundated with survey requests all the time. Perhaps somebody should put out a survey of all of us to decide what we think the official title ought to be. Personally I think NP is just fine,...

  11. A dual degree of FNP & ACPNP smart?

    MedictoRN replied to mtg0884's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You would have to maintain both national certifications (FNP, ACPNP). As for licensing you would have to keep your RN and NP licenses. I highly doubt that you would have 2 separate NP licenses to...

  13. Steps to become ER NP?

    MedictoRN replied to rachelcourtemanche's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  17. Work as NP and bedside nurse

    MedictoRN replied to DrkCocoMurse215's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I guess I can't imagine an example where this really applies. So a CBC comes back abnormal, as an RN, regardless of your education, you call the provider in charge of the patient and get an order. I...

  18. Work as NP and bedside nurse

    MedictoRN replied to DrkCocoMurse215's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I don't see where this references NPs in an RN role, just NPs working as NPs in various settings. I would have liked to see more statistical analysis of the data. They really just gave use the...

    MedictoRN replied to DrkCocoMurse215's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  22. Emergency Nurse Practitioner Certification

    MedictoRN replied to Corey Narry's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    There is more to this certification than clinical competence. It validates professional dedication, involvement, leadership, mentorship and clinical expertise. The good news is that nobody has to have...

  23. Emergency Nurse Practitioner Certification

    MedictoRN replied to Corey Narry's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I see those are the general requirements for the portfolio review process. I'm going to go with the ones specifically for the ENP. To me, those speak less about competency and more about being a...

    MedictoRN replied to Corey Narry's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I don't know where you found that information but what I listed is copied directly from the ENP Content Outline so that's what I'm using to guide the application process. I stand by my opinion that...
