  1. Texas school sets dress code for parents

    babyNP. replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    Besides the racist & classist head covering rule...what will the soccer moms do if they can't wear their yoga

  2. NP Wikipedia Article

    babyNP. replied to Riburn3's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Dang!! You're absolutely right. Doing some sleuthing (unless I'm reading the time logs wrong), most of it appears to be from a person calling themselves, "TheGreatWikiLord" in late March 2019. Their...

  3. RN vs NP Quality of Life

    babyNP. replied to dana16's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My perspective as a neonatal NP- I work 6-7 24 hour shifts a month. Most of the time I get to sleep on some of those shifts, although there are outliers when I am up all night. My lifestyle is much...

  4. Second Degree in Nursing - US citizen moving to Au

    babyNP. replied to AmesTran's topic in Australia, New Zealand

    It can be pretty difficult to get international nursing degrees recognized in the US. Even though you're an American (presumably), you'll be scrutinized as a foreign graduate and will have to go...

  5. 2019 AANP conference

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

    ^^wow, congrats on getting a slot! I'll PM you closer to the event, I would love to meet the famous traumaRUs ? anyone else that may read this in the coming months, just put a reply here if you plan...

  6. Ok TEXAS NP's, wake up and smell the coffee!!!

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

    Like I said, it depends on your training. I don't think that a new grad NP should necessarily be given full reigns to interpret/diagnose xrays without backup. And you're right that not all NPs have...

  7. Ok TEXAS NP's, wake up and smell the coffee!!!

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

    ^^I see this is your first post, welcome to allnurses. Are you a NP? To answer the question about NPs interpreting xrays, it depends on your training. In my 10 years of experience (6 as RN, 4 as NP)...

  8. New Grad in the NICU at Wellstar Kennestone?

    babyNP. replied to wannabenicunurse1's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Most children's hospitals offer residencies for new graduates in the NICU. I would look into your local children's

  9. Unvaccinated Boy in Oregon gets Tetanus

    babyNP. replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Reminder/ that everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but not their own facts...just because I believe water is not wet doesn’t mean it’s actually not wet. I feel sad for that little

  10. Is it time to stop? Adult to Neonatal.

    babyNP. replied to Lovelyrn14's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Your post reads a bit like a "dear diary" vibe. It's not very focused and rambles on a bit. If you'd like feedback, you'll need to organize your thoughts a little more, give us more background, and...

  11. DEA, should employer pay?

    babyNP. replied to lovely07's topic in Advanced Practice

    Yes, we get the federal DEA and it's every 3 years. We get $2500 CME to spend as we choose including DEA, license fees, etc

  12. Poll: What do you love about the NICU?

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

    well, I wish the last part was true...I've ordered too many head CTs for

  13. Time commitment for NRP?

    babyNP. replied to caffianatedstudier97's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    If you can swing it and have time to study without affecting your regular nursing studies, I would go for it. I am convinced that this really helped my resume stand out and got me a job at a Level IV...

  14. Commute to your job?

    babyNP. replied to Power2020's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    20 minutes to one hospital, 40 minutes to another, and 60 minutes to the third. But I generally work 24s, about 6 each month, so it's not too

  15. CNM and WHNP dual program

    babyNP. replied to FutureNP357932's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I actually know a CNM who is also a PMHNP and works for an addictions center for pregnant women. Such a cool, unique role, although so narrow that it might be difficult to find a job

  16. Talk me through this...ER to NICU just for NNP opportunity?

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

    We cannot tell you what will be best for you, but I can offer that the longer you wait, for many people, the harder it will be to transition not only to the NICU as a RN but also to the provider role...

  17. Working as a Neonatal NP in other states

    babyNP. replied to Anna Bee Bop Berry's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    What that hospital is allowing you to do is exceedingly rare. If you have aspirations to go to other hospitals, best to get the post-masters and be done with it. The schools not allowing you to do...

  18. Head hunters be like...

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

    Yeah, I've gotten asked a few times if I want to be the nurse manager of L&D. I just know the babies, not the

  19. Help! Jobs for NICU nurse 1 year experience

    babyNP. replied to babygirl2014's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Most NICUs will not hire for day shift positions- those are usually reserved for staff with seniority. You would probably have better luck looking at clinic nursing if you only want to do day

  20. NICU Nurse moving to DC area

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

    That would depend on what you are looking for...if you want level IV, children's is the best for that. Although there are other level IVs in the area, they are hands down better for what you'll see...

  21. Second Thoughts on leaving Bedside for NP role

    babyNP. replied to Babyboss 19's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Financially and more risky perhaps- although another thing to consider is the physical demands of a RN in-patient job. Even kids in the PICU can weigh a lot and may not be suited for everyone...

  22. Second Thoughts on leaving Bedside for NP role

    babyNP. replied to Babyboss 19's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    oh- just saw you are from Florida which where you are practicing I presume. That might be a big part of your problem. Florida is a terrible state for nurse practitioners in regards to pay and...

  23. Second Thoughts on leaving Bedside for NP role

    babyNP. replied to Babyboss 19's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Sorry to hear about your troubles. This is a common finding amongst RNs with extensive bedside experience- unfortunately your potential for growth won't be as much as someone who became a NP in their...

  25. My Pain clinic was raided by DEA

    babyNP. replied to linevasel's topic in Advanced Practice

    When you have intimidating people talk to you and threaten you- people can do irrational things. There's a very real phenomenon of people being pressured into false confessions for even things like...
