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

    Curious on the background of the psych CNS, why did they scrap

  2. Ohio BON Restricting FNP Practice

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

    Hallelujah.

  3. How to boost a resume for NICU?

    babyNP. replied to SP1CEGRL's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Can you move out of state and apply to a wider area? I would try children's

  4. Employee Complaint

    babyNP. replied to FlyingFishofFury's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry OP that this happened to you. I agree with OldDude's advice though. This kind of dumb stuff happened when I worked as a bedside nurse to me and pretty much everyone on the unit. IMO, it's a...

  5. eavesdropping

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

    something I'm sure is against TOS to repeat hear....resting face is all I'll say ;

  6. Am I losing the ability to think like a normal person?

    babyNP. replied to JamiePedsRN's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    ^^ it's how it was referred to me when I was in grad school a few years back. It's easier than saying, "The PA/NP/MD/DO." Might be a regional thing. The place in which I work now calls us "advanced...

  7. Am I losing the ability to think like a normal person?

    babyNP. replied to JamiePedsRN's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    yeah, it's a hard line to walk. As a nurse you are trained to think of the worst possible thing to then go talk with the provider whereas the provider knows that most everything is horses,...

  8. late preterm infants

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

    No, automatic admits

  9. DNP Required???

    babyNP. replied to makana16's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Yeah, there are only a handful of schools doing this right now. I think your biggest threat would be if at a school where there are NP specialties, generally the whole school switches over to DNP, not...

  10. DNP Required???

    babyNP. replied to makana16's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    There is no requirement, but schools may not offer a MSN in the future. I doubt boards of nursing will make it a requirement; there are some states that allow you to just practice on a certificate,...

  11. Are any of you CRNAs concerned about the potential for automated Anesthesia?

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

    Machines will come for our jobs, no doubt. It's not a matter of if, but when. Health care jobs will be one of the last to go, methinks. Here's a great video on the subject: Our economy will need to...

  12. 2 NICU Job offers, need opinions on offers

    babyNP. replied to K.Alva's topic in General Nursing

    What are you long-term goals? Do you think you want to be an educator, nurse practitioner? If so, go with the children's hospital if you can swing it financially if you get cut (looks like the health...

  13. The NP who can't function in the role

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

    I'm curious (since I work in a NICU and don't see clinic patients). What's a good "number" to see of clinic patients per day to justify keeping a NP on staff? Do you get more time if the patients are...

  14. NP vs Masters in Nurse Aministration

    babyNP. replied to JGB25's topic in Nurse Management

    I think it'd be hard to do a real comparison if you haven't experienced both roles. when I imagined myself as a nurse administrator (very briefly, never seriously), I think I would be fairly good at...

  15. I'm an NP student - How did you choose your specialty?

    babyNP. replied to abc616's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I don't literally LOL at most things I read on the internet, but this one I did. Thanks for that and thanks for helping out what is a very hard population that I can't

  16. I'm an NP student - How did you choose your specialty?

    babyNP. replied to abc616's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    OP, well I guess you can see that you landed yourself in a hot mess ; ) To answer your question: I like babies and decided I wanted to take care of them. Therefore, I did everything I could to get...

  17. Question concerning neonatal hyperbilirubinemia

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

    I assume the "bullying" reference was directed to me- correct me if I'm wrong. My post was not bullying and I have a long history of helping allnurses users over the years in a considerate fashion. My...

  18. Student Interested in Neonatal/NICU Nursing - What do you like about your jobs?

    babyNP. replied to abc616's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    hi there, welcome to allnurses. I see you posted this topic in the NP forum. It's actually against the terms of service to post the same topic twice, so this will probably get closed, just

  19. DNP v. MSN/ARNP

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

    I agree that some employers will pay more for folks with a DNP vs a MSN, but not the vast majority of them. I also agree that getting the DNP post-masters will likely not net them anything extra....

  20. recruiter contract/finder's fees

    babyNP. replied to travelRN555's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have not, but I know from talking to others that have that many of them will hold your feet to the fire with that kind of

  21. DNP v. MSN/ARNP

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

    No, she'll definitely be competitive. It will depend more on the quality of the program and nursing background that will make her competitive more than anything else. The benefit of the DNP from a...

  22. NICU Capstone Project

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

    It's probably best to first identify your key stakeholders to determine what your particular unit might want or

  23. NICU Parent ID and Access

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

    I'm curious- do you make even your long term parents wear bracelets? Some kids stay for months. that would be a long time to wear a bracelet. All the units in which I've worked had a 24/7 secretary...

  24. Question concerning neonatal hyperbilirubinemia

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

    Asking questions about how to manage a specific patient's circumstances that could result in permanent brain damage is very different from asking general questions about management. And actually, it...

  25. Question concerning neonatal hyperbilirubinemia

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

    Have you not heard of bilitool.org ? This is kind of basic newborn stuff, to be frank. What sort of NP are you and did you not have newborn training? I would try to educate yourself on the topic a...
