    Neonatal Nurse Questionnaire!!

    TiffyRN replied to Uzma's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    What do you think the top 3 qualities that a Neonatal Nurse must have? 1. Flexibility: Your patient assignment could vary from extremely fragile infants who cannot breathe or maintain an adequate...

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

    TiffyRN replied to Party_of_five's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Awesome that they have day jobs. In the unit where I work they pretty much only hire to nights. Sometimes nurse residents may go to days for while so we don't release 1/2 dozen brand new grads but...

    Peds OR Nurse to NICU?

    TiffyRN replied to jdsmom's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Do it. I came to NICU from another area and it was a huge learning curve but I've not regretted it. We do occasionally get people from other areas that go back to them as NICU doesn't suit them but...

    3 States Won't License Excelsior's ADN Grads

    TiffyRN replied to moretonel's topic in Excelsior College

    There is one more exemption though relevant to few. California did grandfather in EC graduates from prior to 2003 (I believe). Important since my hubby graduated from EC in 2001. But, he only plans to...

    Can a POST-BAC DNP teach at University level?

    TiffyRN replied to gkolson's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Certainly depends on the institution that hires you. I've met nursing professors that had NP degrees and were being "strongly encouraged" to get some graduate education courses so they could obtain...

    Ever forgotten to feed a baby?

    TiffyRN replied to jennylee321's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I feel certain there were a couple of times that I forgot to start a feed and I found out as I went to feed the infant the next time. When those things happened everyone would console me saying "we've...

    Gastric residuals/ NG placement

    TiffyRN replied to NICU_RNC's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    The evidence has stubbornly refused to support the presence of residual as a valid way to verify placement. We've known this for years but coming up with feasible ways to verify placement have been a...

    White Coat Ceremony

    TiffyRN replied to drsrn's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    When I went to orientation for my BSN to PhD program several days were "general" orientation for all the students going into the graduate school of biomedical sciences which included all kinds of lab...

    Anxious, depressed, and might need to go to HR.

    TiffyRN replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in General Nursing

    Well, it sounds like things went way better than I would have anticipated but I'm a "crusty old bat" who expects little from upper management. Seriously though, I am glad you are continuing with...

    MSN education to DNP/ PHD?

    TiffyRN replied to Kevin Gao's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I have to agree with you on the efficiency of going straight from BSN to PhD. The thing is, most people don't realize they want the PhD until later. The program I'm in has it set up where someone with...

    PhD or DNP to become Faculty?

    TiffyRN replied to adventure_rn's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Thankfully the program I am in (BSN to PhD) included some MSN-Education basics (the ones required if you want to eventually sit the Certified Nurse Educator exam). I was also able to do a practicum...

    Transgender man has stillbirth

    TiffyRN replied to DaveICURN's topic in General Nursing

    @CamMc I believe I shared the genderbread graphic. The only reason I know about it was it was shared with me by others who didn’t fit neatly on the binary. I was raised very conservative so my...

    Louisiana State Board & Walden University

    TiffyRN replied to jl76RN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I found this page on the Walden page. If you look at the bottom of the page under the first asterisk there is a note saying something to the effect that Walden can't register anyone into an NP...

    Anxious, depressed, and might need to go to HR.

    TiffyRN replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in General Nursing

    @BeatsPerMinute You have gone through so much and come out the other end. The usual thing that happens with such toxic managers is that their staff simply flees (and I think that was my advice). I can...

    how to keep research articles organized

    TiffyRN replied to NPSpear's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I have been working on my BSN to PhD for 4 years now and I use a system almost identical to RNtoNNP. I generally keep articles in a subfolder for each course I'm in which roughly equals their topic as...

    Does your employer charge you for PTO?

    TiffyRN replied to Lovethenurse2b25's topic in General Nursing

    My employer does a good job of describing how what they call our "total compensation" package, or rather, how much we get that doesn't actually show up on our paycheck. I'll include the graph they...

    Current job refuses to give professional references

    TiffyRN replied to P_B_Q's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    When I have applied to graduate programs I have asked for references from professionals I've worked with, but not really from the organization itself. In my instance it was MDs or NPs that I had...

    Transgender man has stillbirth

    TiffyRN replied to DaveICURN's topic in General Nursing

    It can be complicated. The more we learn about humans, the more complicated it gets. Remember the nature versus nurture forces that clashed in the psych world for decades? Then it turned out in most...

    Would CCNE support a non paper ADN-BSN option where you actually learn something important

    TiffyRN replied to SuburbsGirl's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I feel CCNE would. They are flexible on how to assess program objectives as long as they are achieved. One of the big challenges is that papers are an efficient and effective means to assess knowledge...

    Transgender man has stillbirth

    TiffyRN replied to DaveICURN's topic in General Nursing

    I cannot get to the original article, apparently too recent to appear in my university's library. What I could derive from the AP news report of the article, the patient was clear from the beginning...

    Anyone every work 24 hours a week? (2 12s) is it doable?

    TiffyRN replied to Jaellys's topic in General Nursing

    I worked five 8's for a few years before I happened into 12 hr shifts, which I liked a whole lot. I then worked 3-12's (36hrs) for almost 20 years and it was quite doable, even took full-time hours at...
