  1. Job Offer Details

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

    On call 24/7 with no extra pay? I'd hate to have to never enjoy wine except during vacation...what an insulting offer this is to

  2. How much neonate care for CNM?

    babyNP. replied to futurenurse1620's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    If you were asking me, yes I am a NNP. Generally pediatricians care for what we call "well newborns" (healthy babies). Some hospitals utilize pediatric nurse practitioners in this role, although not...

  3. How much neonate care for CNM?

    babyNP. replied to futurenurse1620's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I work as a NNP and with several midwives. Unless I'm very much mistaken, your role once the baby is born is to place the baby on mommy's chest and then the nurse calls the pediatrician to let them...

  4. PNP to NNP time off??

    babyNP. replied to PediNP16's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I don't think any of us can say exactly, but my guess is that you should be credentialed and actually working within 6 months of graduating- meaning you need to secure the job soon after or before...

  5. Future Nurse Midwife

    babyNP. replied to FutureCNM25's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Welcome to allnurses. While I cannot help you with your questions, I do have one for you: Are you a registered nurse or a licensed practical nurse? Since you are in high school, it is unlikely...

  6. General peds or NICU opportunity

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

    I'm not sure what the point of your post is... eta: nor mine, to be

  7. Culture of blame in the UK

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

    To answer your first question, I do not know of any, but I do have a UK nursing license. I had to take a class on the UK healthcare system to get it and my husband is a Brit so I can probably answer...

  8. Universities with prearranged NP Practicums

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

    I said "most" not "all" :) Sorry to hear that Colorado sucks like that. I'm actually a bit surprised

  9. Universities with prearranged NP Practicums

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

    Most brick and mortar schools will arrange clinical for you. If you are looking at an online school, best to contact them

  10. US NP Seeking Licensure in UK

    babyNP. replied to jglase570's topic in United Kingdom

    There is no such thing as a nurse practitioner license in the UK. Just the RN license. It's a doozy and will take you several months to get with a lot of paperwork and costs a lot of money. For...

  11. Neonatal Nursing career

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

    Guy- it can be difficult in regards to the military. The military has its own needs and will not shed a tear if you don't get your desired specialty. It's possible to do NICU, but if OP truly wants to...

  12. Questions about Neonatal Nurse Practitioners

    babyNP. replied to Sarah0688's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    There is a shortage of NNPs, but not to the point where you can name your own price. You may not get your first choice job in your first choice city as a new grad, but after a couple of years I don't...

  13. Questions about Neonatal Nurse Practitioners

    babyNP. replied to Sarah0688's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    R1 gave some good insight, but go ahead and do a search on this forum and the nurse practitioner forum. These types of questions have been asked and answered in thorough detail... best of luck in your...

  14. CCRN after taking RNC

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

    I can't comment on your question as I haven't taken the CCRN, although I wanted to ask out of curiosity why you are taking

  15. Volunteers in the NICU

    babyNP. replied to nerdynurse08's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    What kind of "CNA" tasks are they doing? If they are not licensed personnel, they should not be doing medical tasks. That could get the hospital in a lot of trouble with the Joint Commission or

  16. Adult ICU RN --> NICU RN

    babyNP. replied to JLB1215's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Hi there, welcome to the NICU forum. Your questions have been asked many times before, and even in the last month we had some posters from former adult ICU nurses. I would make liberal use of the...

  17. CDC now banned from using "evidence based" and other words per White House

    babyNP. posted a topic in Nursing News

    CDC gets list of forbidden words: fetus, transgender, diversity - The Washington Post .... This is an attack on our very society itself. I could not believe it when I read it. I feel like a revolution...

  18. Turning babies Every 2 hours?

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

    This is a matter of the NICU is its own little world and the hospital doesn't believe that and is trying to make to make a circle fit into a square. Hopefully you and your colleagues can talk to your...

  19. Why do some nurses hate it in others pump at work?

    babyNP. replied to remotefuse's topic in General Nursing

    I never minded covering for my co-workers while they pumped, although I don't recall them taking an hour at a time... that being said, keep in mind that for some babies, the breastmilk is considered a...

    Do you have any evidence to support your

  21. CDC now banned from using "evidence based" and other words per White House

    babyNP. replied to babyNP.'s topic in Nursing News

    Steve, I can't honestly figure out whether you're trolling us or that you don't understand why it is such an atrocious act to ban words...? The misuse of opioids are not the only legacy of the words...

  22. Advice please..NICU VS L&D

    babyNP. replied to rnmm18's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    OP- depends on what you want to do. Do some soul searching. Most NICUs aren't full of sick babies, they're full of feeder-growers, little babies learning how to eat, convalescing. You might also...

  23. Clarification needed in renewing license vs certification

    babyNP. replied to nurselove757's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It just doesn't. A RN and a NP are two very different roles- you don't need to expect that they require the same things. Most states require nursing CEUs to renew RN licenses, but each state has its...

  24. Oh how the (NICU) times have changed

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

    I heard it in a lecture in grad school (and actually on my old unit as a nurse) so I don't know the exact trials, but I'll search around on PubMed and see if I can find

  25. Urgent pls help!

    babyNP. replied to entrepreneur_np's topic in Advanced Practice

    I'm confused. In your first post you said that "My actual contract doesn't specify any populations - it just says within scope of a 'family psych NP'" but here you're saying that you got population...
