1. Any Neonatoal NP (NNP) at your units?

   erilynn17 replied to CapeMaui's topic in NICU

   Thanks so much for the information! I think I'm really more into just caring for the babies, and not really L&D, so I would just rather work in the NICU. It does sound exciting to be around and care for the babies seconds after they are born. I...

2. Any Neonatoal NP (NNP) at your units?

   erilynn17 replied to CapeMaui's topic in NICU

   This might be sort of random, but while working in a NICU I would want the oportunity to help with deliveries every now and then. I definitely don't want to do OB/GYN, but I think it would be kind of cool to deliver babies sometimes. I heard that N...

3. Any Neonatoal NP (NNP) at your units?

   erilynn17 replied to CapeMaui's topic in NICU

   I know that hospitals usually have tuition reimbursement, but I don't know if they pay for it completely. I work at 2 hospitals right now as a pharmacy tech and one of them only gives you $3000 a year if you work full time and $1500 part time. I co...

4. Any Neonatoal NP (NNP) at your units?

   erilynn17 replied to CapeMaui's topic in NICU

   CapeMaui, I think we are in the same position! I am also in the Long Island area, and want to be a NNP. I know that I couldn't do the distance program at Stony Brook, although I am currently doing undergrad there. Fortunately, I do have the abili...

7. Pre-employment Drug Screen and Adult ADD

   erilynn17 replied to BabyRN2Be's topic in General Nursing

   You should look into Strattera, it is marketed especially for Adult ADD. I know that it is fairly new, and some doctors may not know a lot about it but I started taking it a few months ago and its working out great...oh and its stimulant free.

8. NP Practicing Independently?

   erilynn17 replied to erilynn17's topic in General Nursing

   Well I mean, you still see doctors working in an office, even if it is with other doctors, I thought maybe just most NP prefer to work in hospitals. Does anybody know where I can find the laws for NY?

9. NP Practicing Independently?

   erilynn17 replied to erilynn17's topic in General Nursing

   I was just asking in general, I thought that basically NPs can work independently and was wondering why most of them don't.

10. NP Practicing Independently?

    erilynn17 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hey everyone, I have heard that NP can practice independently (as opposed to PA practicing under MD) and I have seen many NP in MDs office, but I have never seen a NP that own their own office. Does anyone know anyone that does, or do you have any i...

11. NP owning their own practice?

    erilynn17 posted a topic in NP

    I have heard that the main difference b/w PA and NP is that NP can own their own practice, they don't have to work under someone, while a PA works in a doctor's office. I have seen many PAs that work in doctors offices, but I have never seen a NP th...

12. Nursing vs. Pharmacy

    erilynn17 replied to erilynn17's topic in General Nursing

    Oh and I agree that joint comission is just a pain altogether! I have been spending the last few weeks checking the expiration dates on EVERY SINGLE ITEM we have in the pharmacy...believe me, my idea of a good time ona friday is NOT inspecting suppos...

13. Nursing vs. Pharmacy

    erilynn17 replied to erilynn17's topic in General Nursing

    I guess it is because no one knows how the other works...I am usually the oneat the other end of those missing med phone calls but what the nurses don't realize is that while we also have nurses on other units (and even nurses on their unit) who are ...

14. Nursing vs. Pharmacy

    erilynn17 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I was just wondering how everybody's nursing/pharmacy relations are because I currently work in a pharmacy in a hospital so I know our side of the story, but I was wondering what nurses think of their pharmacy. I saw in one post somone complaining t...

15. Suny?

    erilynn17 replied to Energizer Bunny's topic in New York

    SUNY Stony Brook has an accelerated program. It is 12 months, and I think it is pretty cheap (definitely not 25,000 maybe 15,000). It might be far from you, but I hear it is very good (very competitive also).
