NNP Please Read!

[salvati08]

Hello, I have posted something similar to this in the past and didn't get any response. So my question is for ANY Neonatal Nurse Practitoner out there. I am a current nursing student and will be finishing my ASN shortly and was planning on doing the RN-MSN option. I have always had a huge interest in neonatal nursing and so I feel I would like to be a NNP. But after all the extensive research and reading I have done on the internet I am still left with so many questions that I really need answered before I make such a big decision. I am having a very hard time getting in contact with any NNP. I know a lot of NP's in general at the hospital I work at but no NNP. So if anyone out there thinks they could be so kind to answer a few questions for me, please let me know. Thanks!!! :)

Searching back, you can find lots of posts on this.

Best thing to do is jump in to the NICU with both feet that way you don't have to unlearn the adult world.

Good Luck!

Thank you - I am going to try to do just that (get directly into NICU) as I go along. I will go look through old posts and see what different types of information I can find. Thanks so much for all the help! I am so excited to be working towards a path that will ultimately lead me to be a team player with such wonderful nurses as yourselves - I just can't wait!!! Thanks again!
