  1. How Magnet Hospitals are destroying Nursing

    babyNP. replied to trinitymaster's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I can't speak for all Magnet hospitals but I like my (Magnet) hospital just fine and having been to half a dozen other hospitals as agency, I do think it's better. Every hospital has its ups and...

  2. All Those NPs with No Bedside Experience

    babyNP. replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Eh, I don't think that APNs only belong in outpatient settings; the neonatal NPs I work with are excellent and they are a great resource for doctors to expand their reach. Then again, you are required...

  3. Complete list of NNP graduate programs

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

    Only the state BON can make the DNP a requirement for practice and seeing as none of them have, I'm not too worried about it being a requirement anytime soon...what may end up happening is that...

  4. How should I introduce myself?

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

    Yeah...I would try to feel out the hospital. You may have a bad reaction instead. The docs have nothing to do with hiring new grads in my place. They do for NNPs, but definitely not nurses. Going to...

  5. Journey of a foreign nurse getting licensure

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

    I agree the pre-planning is weird. It's just how I am. Like I said, I have about 5 different futures all planned out for the next 10 years (with spreadsheets and all sorts of calculations). It's just...

  6. Needing advice with a plagiarizing incident

    babyNP. replied to SnowShoeRN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I guess I have a lower tolerance for someone who cheats using my work. That people can be so low to do that sort of thing makes me so irritated. And the fact that this cheater tried to be all "we're...

  7. Needing advice with a plagiarizing incident

    babyNP. replied to SnowShoeRN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    yeeesh. Sounds like she's feeling guilty. I would ask her, "What did you think of that last assignment? I worked really hard on mine! Have you heard from Professor X about yours

  8. Journey of a foreign nurse getting licensure

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

    I understand what you're saying, but there's also a point where there have to be hospitals open. The baby boomer generation is reaching their 60s and in 20 years will be in their 80s. Somebody has to...

  9. "unlearning" med surg habits?

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

  10. Journey of a foreign nurse getting licensure

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

    I don't want to rain on your parade, but you should really read my post in its entirety before you judge I stated that a) we don't plan to move until after we have our current non-existent children...

    babyNP. replied to dayandnight's topic in General Nursing

    How ridiculous is that system?! I would complain to the Dean and then to the dean's boss, the

  12. "unlearning" med surg habits?

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

    WHAT? Is that routine in adult nursing as well? Oh my goodness. Well, I know where I will be if DH goes to the

  13. Transferring CNA Certification.

    babyNP. replied to redhead31293's topic in International Nursing

    What kind of visa are you going to enter on in the UK? Do you have EU/UK

  14. Wondering teenager

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

    Welcome to allnurses.com The question you need to be asking yourself is: Do I want to be a doctor or do I want to be a nurse? Either is fine, but you should try to figure that out. It doesn't make...

  15. I can't stop dreaming about the NICU!~

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

    I had this problem when I was life-guarding for a water park that required frequent saves due to folks not realizing that if they don't know how to swim, even as adults, they shouldn't be going onto...

  16. US to UK transition, pls help.

    babyNP. replied to hilife_RN's topic in Immigration Advice

    Yep, I agree with these ladies, it's super rough. I actually don't plan to go over for quite a few years if they allow me to have a license (after DH and I have kids) and I'm just trying to get the...

  17. US to UK transition, pls help.

    babyNP. replied to hilife_RN's topic in Immigration Advice

    Okay, you can't be spoon fed everything :) time to go do some research, i.e. do searches here and go to the source--the Nursing and Midwifery Council website with registration

  18. Looking for employment while pregnant?

    babyNP. replied to JennyANP's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Um, she wouldn't be eligible for FMLA, so all she would be eligible for is her sick leave time and in 4-5 months, probably not a ton would be accrued anyway. Her job will not be held if she takes an...

  19. US to UK transition, pls help.

    babyNP. replied to hilife_RN's topic in Immigration Advice

    The folks at the NMC told me they got all my info about 3 weeks ago and said the decision usually takes 5-7 weeks, although I think they can have up to 3 months to make a decision. I guess...

  20. Looking for employment while pregnant?

    babyNP. replied to JennyANP's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    So just because a woman is pregnant, it's unethical for her to look for a job? Pregnant women are not useless--a good employee is worth her weight in gold who takes a a couple of months off to spend...

  21. Nursing in UK??

    babyNP. replied to kbugrn19's topic in International Nursing

    Are you registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council? Do you have a visa in order to work in the UK or are the spouse of a UK/EU citizen? Pay is generally not very good in the UK (about $35,000...

  22. US to UK transition, pls help.

    babyNP. replied to hilife_RN's topic in Immigration Advice

    The process is going to take a few months. Have you taken the IELTS yet? Once you take it and get the results (2 weeks later), you can apply for the first packet which comes a few weeks later which...

  23. What's the difference between and RN and an LPN

    babyNP. replied to Nolander's topic in Nursing Career

    The subject is beat to death and you can do a quick search on it here, but my take is: Do not become a LPN. Just go straight to RN. You can get your CNA stuff done for the experience, but LPNs are...
