I am currently a Junior undergrad (Psych. major) and have only recently decided to go to nursing school after graduation. I am looking at two types of programs- Accelerated BSN and Direct-Entry MSN. I am currently and EMT and have a strong passion for emergency medicine. Can anyone tell me if it is possible for NP's to work in an ER? Where do Acute Care NP's usually work? What can ER and Acute Care NP's do in terms of assesment and treatment of pt's (compared to RN's and MD's)? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
