  1. Alphabet Soup

    NeuroNP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm in nursing school now, but I want to be an ANP someday (leaning towards NNP or CRNA right now), but I have a question about all the letters after someone's name. I know what they stand for, my...

  2. KY nurses and students STAND UP. What part of KY are you from.

    NeuroNP replied to dark10gable's topic in General Nursing

    Not anytime soon. I'm still in school in Lexington and I'm contracted to a local hospital for 2 years after graduation. But, my wife and I talk about moving at some point, we've both lived her all...

  3. KY nurses and students STAND UP. What part of KY are you from.

    NeuroNP replied to dark10gable's topic in General Nursing

    What unit do you work

  4. Really impressed by CNM

    NeuroNP posted a topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I have to say, I had my first experience with a CNM yesterday and was VERY impressed. Our good friends had a baby last night and my wife and I were there. They used a midwife. When we got to the...

  5. NNP/PNP doing normal newborn in hospital

    NeuroNP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Is it common for NNP and/or PNP to do the normal newborn exams in the hospital? A good friend had a baby last night and we were hanging out in L&D. I'm interested in being an NNP, but I think...

  6. Questions about potentially awkward male-female interactions during lab/clinicals

    NeuroNP replied to Jedi of Zen's topic in Male Nursing Students

    We handled baths in CNA school and we did give them to each other. However, we were fully clothed (t shirts and shorts) and it was really just the face, arms and legs. Perineal care ("scrubbing the...

  7. do any of you like codes??

    NeuroNP replied to ryanfocker's topic in Men in Nursing

    I agree, it seems wrong somehow to like them, but I think people have hit the nail on the head, it's a chance to do what you've really trained for. I was a tech in the ED of a Level I Trauma center...

  8. KY nurses and students STAND UP. What part of KY are you from.

    NeuroNP replied to dark10gable's topic in General Nursing

    I'll start... I'm from Lexington and I'm starting the ADN program at KCTCS in 2 weeks! I've got about 5 years of experience as a CNA in Tele/ICU and ER.

  9. ACNP to CRNA

    NeuroNP replied to coopsc1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Along a similar line, is there a post-master's option for CRNA school if you've already got, say an ACNP? I'm just thinking down the road...my local school has an RN-to-MSN program where I can bypass...

  10. Full time NP position requires you to cover RN duties at times?

    NeuroNP replied to DucatiNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm not an NP yet, so this is just my personal opinion... I think there is a difference between "helping out" and working as a nurse. When I worked in the ER, we had a doc who was an ER nurse for...

  11. UK vs. St. joe

    NeuroNP posted a topic in General Nursing

    Question: I am a nursing student in Lexington and I have applied for "scholarships" with both St. Joe and UK. These are the kind that carry a work requirement post-graduation. Assuming that I get...

  12. UK vs. St. joe

    NeuroNP replied to NeuroNP's topic in General Nursing

    I thought I'd update this thread that I started... I just accepted the scholarship at St Joe. In the end it came down to a few things. I still am leaning towards NICU/NNP and would love to work in a...

  13. BSN Admission

    NeuroNP replied to lanierguy's topic in Men in Nursing

    You sound like you're in a similar boat to me. I graduated in '99 with a BA in History. Like you, I had a low GPA. I went back and did some post-bac work and got good grades. Was a CNA for 4...

  14. Level II or adult ICU

    NeuroNP posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Everyone, I'm a nursing student and I want to work in the NICU after graduation and eventually go on to get my NNP. I've just signed a deal with a local hospital where they will cover my nursing...

  15. NNP programs in KY, TN, VA & NC

    NeuroNP replied to justme1972's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    In KY, there are 2 that I know of. University of Louisville has a program and University of Kentucky has just started one in conjunction with U of L. You do your "generic" Master's courses at UK in...

  16. Advice needed

    NeuroNP posted a topic in General Nursing

    My sister-in-law was in her last year of her BSN when something happened at her school (I think she was accused falsely of something) and was told that she'd have to repeat that year. It was probably...

  17. Advice needed

    NeuroNP replied to NeuroNP's topic in General Nursing

    Nope. Apparently she just talked to the Dean. It's understandable, you'd think the Dean of Nursing would know what she's talking about. Someone mentioned challenging the NCLEX. Can you challenge it...

  18. NPs in EM?

    NeuroNP replied to jls485's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    FWIW, Vanderbilt has a program where you get both the FNP and ACNP degrees and it's geared specifically towards ERs.

  19. Opinions/information needed

    NeuroNP posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I'm a nursing student interested in NICU and in eventually going to NNP school. I've applied for two different "scholarships" with local hospitals. They're the kind with post-grad work requirements...

  20. UK vs. St. joe

    NeuroNP replied to NeuroNP's topic in General Nursing

    When were you on 2E? I was a SWAN there from 2001-2003! I wanted to work in CTVU, but there were no positions available. I ended up going to the ED at UK (no ICU positions available there either!)....

  21. Daily life for an NNP

    NeuroNP posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Sorry if this has been addressed before, but are there any NNPs out there who would comment on what your day is typically like? What time do you start/finish? How is call typically handled etc? Not...

  22. Addressing physicians

    NeuroNP posted a topic in International Nursing

    How do you address physicians in the UK? Are they called Dr. So-and-so? As I understand it, a physician in the UK is not an MD but an MBBS is that right? What about

  23. Neonatal Nurse Practitioners-Salary Range

    NeuroNP replied to justme1972's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thanks. The real props go to OldBear Professor over at SDN. He put a lot of thought and work into that

  24. Neonatal Nurse Practitioners-Salary Range

    NeuroNP replied to justme1972's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm also looking into this and I found a private group on SDN (yes, the dreaded SDN, but Neo folks are MUCH nicer to nurses!) and asked the question. I got a really good response from a Neo MD which...

  25. Addressing physicians

    NeuroNP replied to NeuroNP's topic in International Nursing

    Why is it that Surgeons are Mr and Ms and not Dr when Physicians are Dr? Don't they get the same
