1. Help! Pediatric v. Neonatal

   trendingsnow replied to Alaynalee's topic in General Nursing

   It all depends on the job market. To be eligible for a NNP program you need a minimum of 2 years work experience in a NICU. If you work PICU or the like then it won't count but to get a job in the NICU, the PICU experience may help, but then again, p...

2. PNP v NNP

   trendingsnow replied to Alaynalee's topic in NP Students

   The PNP and NNP are two separate specialties, hence why there's two different programs for each position. It doesn't matter if you become a AGNP or FNP or PNP, unless you're certified as a NNP you won't be able to work as one and to become certified ...

3. How can I be sure?

   trendingsnow replied to Chelsea2016's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Nurses are licensed, not certified, just clearing that up If you're willing to put in the hard work then you can do it. I agree with the person who posted before me, it is wiser for you to get a BSN because peds is already a very competitive floor b...

6. What path to take?

   trendingsnow replied to Deniseduval's topic in Career Support

   I know that some hospitals don't require you to be certified to work as a nursing assistant, though they do prefer it. I guess it wouldn't hurt to browse around and see what the hospitals around you require. I would go for the CNA though and not the ...

   I know this post was from a while ago but how do you like Duke's NNP program? I'm looking into applying for it next year but I'm torn between Duke and Vandy, just wanted some insight.

9. Starting with an associate's degree?

   trendingsnow replied to Dgardella's topic in ADN/BSN

   Around my area, student nurse techs and extern/intern positions are for BSN students only, but it might be different for you. I'd call different hospitals and SLF and ask what programs they offer and what the criteria is. Also, if you can get a job i...

10. Starting with an associate's degree?

    trendingsnow replied to Dgardella's topic in ADN/BSN

    You need 2 years worth of working experience in the ICU (some schools will also take experience in ED, but check with the program first.) An RN-BSN program is usually 1.5-2 years, depends on the program.

    trendingsnow replied to trendingsnow's topic in Student Assist

    Will I be able to join them even though I'm a pre-nursing student? We don't have many professional organizations or similar opportunities around where I live, but I will definitely try to look around and see where I can get in. Thank you!
