  1. Just "NP"

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

    I just write, babyNP., NNP-BC (neonatal nurse practitioner, board certified)- this is what the NCC allows me to have after passing

  2. NICU or PICU?

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

    Yeah, I know they have NP role in the UK (although you don't need a separate license for it and it doesn't seem very standardized), but not sure about the CNS role over there. NICU was my first job as...

  3. NICU or PICU?

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

    You ask "what will look the best on my CV." Does this imply that you have future plans? What do you want to be doing in 5-10 years? Do you want to be a nurse practitioner or a clinical nurse...

  4. Neonatal Nurse Practitioner

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

    Um...does she have any experience with NICU? There is actually a national shortage of NNPs. It's not so hot that you can guarantee a job in your city right off the bat as a new grad unless you live in...

  5. Equal work for Equal Pay

    babyNP. replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think that if you are billing for the same exact codes that yes, you should get "equal pay." Just because someone has more schooling doesn't mean that they are worth more from a pure economic point...

  6. Please help me make this life-changing decision

    babyNP. replied to Uncomfortably Numb's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Thanks for updating

  7. Public Schools and transgender bathrooms.

    babyNP. replied to imintrouble's topic in School

    I don't want to hash out more than what other people have said because there have been some excellent points made but wanted to point out two inaccuracies made earlier: 1. That men cannot birth...

  8. Please help me make this life-changing decision

    babyNP. replied to Uncomfortably Numb's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Think hard about your lifestyle...the saying, "you can have a life or save a life" is not far from the truth. Doctor's schedules are terrible and the debt that most people go into is insanity. I have...

  9. Holding with art line

    babyNP. replied to MNNICU, RN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Well... what happens when the baby is in the incubator and you are charting at a computer and don't notice the blood because the isolette cover is on until the alarm starts dinging? How is that any...

  10. NICU new hire

    babyNP. replied to Amanda4450's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Congrats on the job! Feel free to do a search on this forum because your question is asked on a weekly basis ;

  11. Are you angry about the NMC OSCE???

    babyNP. replied to WrigleyRN's topic in International Nursing

    Yeah, they are rather draconian. I was lucky to get in doing the ONP. The fun doesn't stop after your licensure. They are now making you talk about your professional development plans and self...

  12. Conversing with parents in NICU

    babyNP. replied to JJ1994's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    It will come with time. We've all been there with awkwardness talking to parents and learning the appropriate things to say and how to say

  13. I ruined the surprise

    babyNP. replied to Ashleigh0894's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Don't worry about the surprise. Clearly there were way more important things going on. Next time, I would say that the team is trying to stabilize him and leave it at that. Don't beat yourself up-...

  14. Neonatal Nurse Practitioner

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

    Welcome to allnurses. There are a few nnp posters but usually sporadic. Feel free to take up the torch. I check the forum fairly regularly, although answering the same question time after time gets...

  15. Positioning of infants with RDS.

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

    I guess I don't understand what position you're trying to portray. Is their head towards the

  16. Do I aspirate too violently?

    babyNP. replied to lorelei13's topic in General Nursing

    What would be the point of doing it "every once in awhile"? Look, I get it that change is hard, especially from what you were originally taught. But you can't hold onto outdated practices to make...

  17. UK Nurse needing SSN for Florida License

    babyNP. replied to HelenaUK's topic in Nurse Registration

    Well you can't work until you get a license, if that's what you mean. Click on the nurses tab at the top right and then world nurses and you should find the forums. Unless you have a spousal visa,...

  18. NMC requirements confusing

    babyNP. replied to nason3's topic in Nurse Registration

    Because nicu is an icu, you can work in the nicu even with an adult license (which is what American nurses get since we don't have such a thing as a pedi nurse degree). the exam thing is relatively...

  19. UK Nurse needing SSN for Florida License

    babyNP. replied to HelenaUK's topic in Nurse Registration

    hey welcome to allnurses. Check out our international forum with "nurse registration." There is a ton of information and reading you can do on the very subject. Essentially you'd need to have an...

  20. UK NICU?

    babyNP. replied to may1787's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I have a UK license although I've never practiced over there. From what some colleagues have told me (I met an American in my overseas nursing class that was required a few years ago), the ratios are...

  21. Steps to my dream job in the NICU

    babyNP. replied to TheNoviceNurse16's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Go with mother baby because it's much easier to do an internal transfer and you may get an opportunity to float to the

  22. Type B in a Type A world

    babyNP. replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    oh goodness I remember those days. I do NOT miss bedside nursing for that reason of people being so hyper about every little thing when TBH it doesn't matter if the stripes in the blanket are lined up...

  23. Methadone and NAS- from a mom's perspective

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

    It's pretty interesting to me that we've had several methadone addicted mothers on this particular thread who felt so defensive while reading a nursing forum that they decided to post (subtext here is...

  24. NNP Grad Program

    babyNP. replied to future-pediatric-np's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    My program was difficult, but doable. I had 4 years full time experience before I started and worked mostly full time for the two years I was in school. I didn't have delivery room experience, so that...

  25. NNP Question

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

    Your license is for 0-2 (24 months), so if your unit is okay with you not taking care of patients older than that, it would be fine. Best thing to do would be to ask your doctors directly. Nursing...
