1. NICU nurse to AC Peds NP

   granadina posted a topic in NP Students

   Hey all! I have been a NICU nurse for 8 years. I have spent most of my career in level 4 hospitals and traveling. I have floated to many PICU/PCICU's. After settling down in my hometown, I'm finding my level 3 NICU a little lackluster. I have decide...

2. Drexel online fnp msn 2018

   granadina replied to BarbaraWilfred's topic in NP Students

   Hey! I feel like you are the first pediatric NP students from Drexel I've seen online. In the areas where you live, have you met Drexel grads who are employed? Have you heard success stories of people finding clinical sites from outside PA? I am in t...

   I am looking for insight on the Doctor of Nurse Anesthesia program at University of Arizona. It is partly online. It is accredited by the "Council on Accreditation of Nurse Anesthesia Educational Programs". I spoke with a leading CRNA in my hometown....

   granadina replied to cn4333's topic in Travel

   I am currently working in Orange County. I love it here! I extended my contract and really am not looking forward to leaving. But for now I want to see more of the country. There's a very good chance I'll be coming back here down the road.

5. Travel Nursing in Compact States

   granadina replied to granadina's topic in Travel

   NICU is my specialty. I'm open to Texas for sure! I'm currently on the East Coast, so a trip to CA would be cost and time prohibitive. I will hope to get a miracle from CA (a temp license in only 5 weeks) while working towards a compact job as my b...

6. Travel Nursing in Compact States

   granadina replied to granadina's topic in Travel

   Thank you for the advice! I'm registered and will be looking. Can't PM back due to low number of posts. I figured I would get less pay, but as I see this job as a stepping stone to California, I'm okay with this. Later on I'll probably add another st...

7. Travel Nursing in Compact States

   granadina replied to granadina's topic in Travel

   Thank you, NedRN. I am currently with 2 larger agencies. I am interested in a smaller agency only if they have many compact jobs available. The large companies I am with seem to have the majority of their jobs in NY and CA, both places I do not have...

   Hi all, I am looking to start a career as a traveler in 6 short weeks! My plan had been to work in California, as it seems to have a plethora or travel jobs available. I recently realized there had been an error in my CA license application. Now I am...

9. Duke SNIP program

   granadina replied to bienbien's topic in North Carolina

   Because when you start out as a SNIP (specialty nurse internship program), you are a Clinical Nurse one (CNI). If you have one or more years of experience, Duke will start you as a CNII, for which there will be other PICU listings. You have to have 6...

10. Duke SNIP program

    granadina replied to bienbien's topic in North Carolina

    Hi JBAdd, the post for a PICU SNIP will only be for that unit. The Duke NICU calls itself the ICN (intensive care nursery), so the snip jobs will be posted under that name. There should be an application available within the next few weeks, as a snip...

11. Continental Travel Nurse, NICU

    granadina posted a topic in Immigration

    Hello, I am a US nurse wishing to move to the UK. I specialize in NICU. When speaking with continental travel nurse, they state this specialty will make it easy for me to be granted a visa and find a job. Does anyone know if NICU nurses can find jobs...

12. Any advice for an interview in the Duke SNIP program for new grads?

    granadina replied to granadina's topic in Career Support

    I am not sure if the preceptorship made a difference. I was lucky enough to have my senior preceptorship on the unit I wanted, so it wasn't an issue. There were 6 SNIP hires to my unit, I am not sure if this is average or not. I haven't started orien...

13. Any advice for an interview in the Duke SNIP program for new grads?

    granadina replied to granadina's topic in Career Support

    Hi, I was hired to my first choice out of the two given. I had completed my preceptorship (practicuum) in the unit I was hired to. The other unit didn't interview me. First of all, it took a long time for Duke to contact me for an interview. I had a...

    I was lucky enough to get an interview for the Duke SNIP program in the ICN (NICU). I have an interview and I shadow with a nurse for 2 hours before the interview. If anyone has interviewed at Duke before, advice would be much appreciated! I have nev...
