  1. NNP clinical placements?

    babyNP. replied to stargurl2006's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If no local hospitals are responding, it sounds like you will have to move to the state where your program is located and take loans to live off or delay your clinical time until you can save up the...

  2. FNP student - need clinical specialty suggestions

    babyNP. replied to KBRCCRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Well we can't tell you what you would like...my suggestion is to see how your clinical goes and see if anything piques your interest. If you want to work in a hospital you can always do a post-masters...

  3. Med school drop out, now a CRNA. Ask me anything...

    babyNP. replied to MDdropouttoCRNA's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Actually, here is a curiosity question- were you questioned about your med school experiences when applying to your ABSN/RN job/CRNA school? How did you handle those what I can only imagine as...

  4. Med school drop out, now a CRNA. Ask me anything...

    babyNP. replied to MDdropouttoCRNA's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Nothing to ask, but really happy for you that you were able to find your own career

  5. Medical kidnap? Discuss

    babyNP. replied to dbabz's topic in Nursing News

    If another well-regarded hospital said she was competent and actually discharged her home and didn't have to stay in the hospital- and now the young woman has made just about a full recovery...hard to...

  6. Culture of blame in the UK

    babyNP. replied to babyNP.'s topic in United Kingdom

    UPDATE: 366,000 GBP ($464,000) was raised by doctors and other healthcare workers in the UK and around the world to help mount an appeal. A 3 judge panel overruled the GMC (seems to be the equivalent...

  7. Culture of blame in the UK

    babyNP. posted a topic in United Kingdom

    edit 15/8: For a really nice overview of everything, here's a good link from the BBC about the events leading to Jack's tragic death: The doctor struck off for honest mistakes - BBC News ... Have you...

  8. FNP working in acute care

    babyNP. replied to npmm's topic in Advanced Practice

    It depends on the state in which you are practicing and whether or not the credentialing board of the particular hospital will accept your training. There are people who do this, but it's dependent on...

  9. Career Switch at 23

    babyNP. replied to tessa.506's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    welcome to allnurses. Your question is better addressed in our pre-nursing forum: https://allnurses.com/pre-nursing-student/ In general it's a year or so for pre-reqs and then 2-3 years for nursing...

  10. For Reelz

    babyNP. replied to NutmegNP's topic in Advanced Practice

    Perhaps- but that limits your ability to see more patients, decreasing your billing

  11. IV infiltrate: Lessons Learned

    babyNP. replied to NeoRN11's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    you'll learn from this, as others have said, it happens. I don't know how to explain this but you'll also get a feel for those pIVs that you don't trust and check more often. But then again...I had an...

  12. Complexity of Care/scope of practice

    babyNP. replied to kayrose25's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I work in an ICU so I see my patients jointly with a physician. But they are there only during business hours- I otherwise will admit, discharge, perform invasive procedures as needed on any babies...

  13. Have you ever

    babyNP. replied to Pgapple's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Volutrauma is a real thing and contributes to BPD. If the baby can handle it (i.e. no terrible apnea spells, growing well, etc), keeping them off the vent is the best

  14. Terrified after taking the NCLEX

    babyNP. replied to nursenat6's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I know you are anxious, but you need to re-read your post and see how irrational and over the top you sound. Guyinbabyland's post is a good read. good luck to you in your

  15. Fellow ship (as in MD kind) good idea?

    babyNP. replied to Tony1790's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My hospital system is doing something similar to this. As I recall, PNPs spend a few weeks to a month in each specialty area in pediatrics (these are acute care PNPs) and then decide/interview on a...

  16. Gave up DNP

    babyNP. replied to LookForward's topic in Advanced Practice

    I'm in the same boat. I got my MSN, started working and started some DNP classes. I completed 4 of them out of 12 and had to take a break. Not sure if I will complete. No debt, at least, but as I've...

  17. Retirement at what age, and how much $$ will you will need to retire "comfortably"?

    babyNP. replied to Horseshoe's topic in General Nursing

    Will probably work part time in the next 15-20 years until age 65 or so once the house is paid for. For those looking for a quick and easy way to estimate retirement costs I would check out Chris...

  18. Ohio BON Restricting FNP Practice

    babyNP. replied to Dodongo's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Having a generalist education for neonatology would not be helpful. PAs that want to do the NICU generally do a full year fellowship after completing their degree in order work in the NICU and have to...

  19. It's your fault that my child broke her glasses!

    babyNP. replied to Amethya's topic in School

    ^^ I can't speak to why the kid is taking the glasses off, but I can offer up my experience as a silly adolescent... while I never broke my glasses, I took them off frequently and lost them, bent the...

  20. NICU

    babyNP. replied to dreamerachiever's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    It's ultimately safest for the baby to be born in a tertiary center rather than be transported, especially micropreemies. I remember transporting a fresh 24 weeker on a small plane once and all I...

  21. NNAS experience?

    babyNP. replied to jmariel's topic in Nurse Registration

    Long thread! Got through most of it, but had a couple of questions if anyone knew the answers... 1. Anyone applied while practicing as a NP? Not sure how the recent nursing experience would work if...

  22. Certified Midwife Path

    babyNP. replied to Gwenivere's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Interesting. Are most of these places in the northeastern corridor or are there hospitals nationwide in the south, midwest, west coast? Just

  23. New DNP mandate

    babyNP. replied to Rocknurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    As I recall, the CRNA's DNP is *actually* going to happen in 2025 because the organization that accredits the school's programs is requiring it. Any CRNAs with different info feel free to chime

  24. New DNP mandate

    babyNP. replied to Rocknurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I guess the big question is- are all schools part of this organization? Does the organization have teeth for enforcement? My guess is not... I see DNP being "it" through one of 3 ways. 1. State boards...

  25. Tearing my hair out over noncompliant DM2 patients!

    babyNP. replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It's not illegal to be stupid. If we had all the time in the world to hold their hands and really get through to them, might be able to be make a difference, but I imagine that gets emotionally...
