  1. Disgusted

    danielle2000 replied to kaypyn's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I use to be so judgmental but it is still painful taking care of these babies. When a drug addict mother asks why her baby acts this way why can't we respond with the truth in a professional way....

  3. Poor RN professional conduct

    danielle2000 replied to Omgseriously's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I have been in the NICU for 15 years and I do not waste my time snitching on nurses who share snacks at the nurses station. This is why nursing can be a challenge for new grads. You witness the back...

  4. What do you love and hate about NICU?

    danielle2000 replied to sommeil's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I love when the parents are so appreciative what you do for their child. What I dislike about the NICU is when nurses are not heard when they express concern about their little

  5. Looking for preceptor

    danielle2000 replied to Elenga11's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Great advice! I am starting my Adult geriatric rotation in a couple of months and I am at my wits end to begin this task. I work in the NICU which has nothing to do with adult medicine so you can...

  6. Did you have to quit/change a job to do NP school?

    danielle2000 replied to BirkieGirl's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I dropped down to part time and perdiem to have an open schedule since my class dates change at various times. It is actually working well since I do nights and get plenty of rest on my days off and...

  8. More work, no pay increase..

    danielle2000 replied to Muse4723's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Sounds like they are getting the milk for free and bypassing the cow all together. I would negotiate and find out specifically what my duties would be. Many of my co workers asked me why don't I...

  9. NNP- Nicu only?

    danielle2000 replied to guest769224's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This was my concern because I enjoy working with neonates but also realize I would be limited. I enrolled in a FNP which would give me more options in the

  10. Do I need to keep RN license active?

    danielle2000 replied to Alicia777's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I know based on California's scope of practice for an advanced practice nurse, it specifies his or her role doesn't go beyond a registered nurse. Advanced training and credentialing gives NPs the...

    I want to say major congrats! That tells me you are conscientious about your practice and your are grooming yourself to be on of the best! Hang in there, as time goes you will feel more confident in...

  12. Attitude Towards NP Students

    danielle2000 replied to Heart2015FNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I have just started my classes and I think it depends on the culture of the unit you are working in. I am in the NICU and the staff consists of many young and new nurses. When we get on the subject of...

  13. IV Starts

    danielle2000 replied to Mofe'ny's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    When I start IVs on babies I try for the biggest vein in the lower leg. You can't visualize unless you use the transilluminator. It is a very big vein that will last for a while. I only do scalp...
