    Nursing School Accreditation Question

    NICUmiiki replied to jr1991's topic in General Nursing

    ACEN and CCNE accreditation is pretty much interchangeable. As long as your school has one of them, you should be fine. You can look at the admission requirements of different grads schools to see...

    Simmons online fnp, will I regret it?

    NICUmiiki replied to Avictorious's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I would wait until he is placed in residency. Not all states allow clinicals for all schools. It would suck to get 3/4 done then move and can’t do clinicals

    Help! Jobs for NICU nurse 1 year experience

    NICUmiiki replied to babygirl2014's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I think the reason you are having problems is because you have minimal experience and are being a little picky in a pretty saturated area. Also, 1 year of NICU basically equals new grad in any other...

    Does the BSN in 10 apply to all nurses or just RN's and why?

    NICUmiiki replied to LPNTORN704's topic in General Nursing

    You become an RN in those programs. You don’t stay an LPN. That’s what I said in my first

    Understanding the Power of Nursing Specialty Certifications

    NICUmiiki replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

    I’m RNC-NIC certified. I did it to show myself that I do know a lil something. It really has helped settle the feelings of imposter syndrome in my NNP program. My employer paid for the cert and gave...

    Does the BSN in 10 apply to all nurses or just RN's and why?

    NICUmiiki replied to LPNTORN704's topic in General Nursing

    An LPN can’t get a BSN (without becoming an RN), so I’m going to go with “just

    NP program for direct-entry MSN graduates

    NICUmiiki replied to PscyhNP2022's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Most FNP online schools will have a post-master’s option. USA’s program is pretty decently priced and respected. Just a bit of advice, if you want to work part-time while in the program, you...

    What's up with this RN?

    NICUmiiki replied to Guest219794's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I just chart in a passive voice. That’s how I’ve always seen it in this unit. Dressing was changed. Green, foul smelling drainage noted on dressing. MD notified. Infant’s father...

    When to Start Applying for Jobs

    NICUmiiki replied to Hail2Pitt's topic in General Students

    Call the hospital HRs you are interested and ask them when they prefer. I had a job by March for my May graduation. I applied in January. Another hospital told us not to apply until after a certain...

    Advice for vacationing?

    NICUmiiki replied to pediRNjen's topic in General Nursing

    It's common here, but it's grouped in with sick time. I accrue roughly 6.6 hours of PTO every 2 weeks. That works out to about 4.5 weeks off working 3 12 hour shifts a week. We also self-schedule, so...

    IV Drip Rates

    NICUmiiki replied to MarvelousMistyRN's topic in Critical Care

    So interesting. We don't run anything with a carrier fluid (in the NICU btw). 1.2 mLs of medication over an hour? Fine. Everything gets into the baby just fine. You aren't administering the meds...

    How long can you work as an ACNP?

    NICUmiiki replied to TexasmedicRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm following the responses on this thread. I initially started an FNP program with scheduling as one of the reasons why I started that path. Well, I ended up hating it and switched to an NNP program....

    Thoughts on ADN to MSN then NP?

    NICUmiiki replied to TexasmedicRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Rereading the thread, I see the OP never stated whether the RN to MSN program was an NP program or not. I assumed it wasn’t based on a different thread. Having that bit of info would change my...

    Nursing School Forces Retake of Passed Courses

    NICUmiiki replied to malenurseNTX2019's topic in General Students

    If it’s like my state, clinical and theory must be completed concurrently. The school can’t change that. If you fail one, you have to retake both. My school had clinical and theory in the same...

    Stay in the MSN+DNP or drop out after the MSN?

    NICUmiiki replied to HappierTimesAreComing's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Huh? So $200k to be a floor nurse? I’m guessing they target non-nurses who don’t have a full grasp on nursing yet. How far along are you? Can you drop out now? What even is the point of getting...

    Stay in the MSN+DNP or drop out after the MSN?

    NICUmiiki replied to HappierTimesAreComing's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I voted to drop out because you can definitely get a DNP for way less than $100k. If you really dig around, there are schools that offer full or partial funding for it since it’s a

    NICUmiiki replied to Cmsmith7's topic in General Nursing

    You can follow up with LSBN, but I’m pretty sure you’d need to be RNFA first. LSBN has made it clear that you can’t assist in surgery without it even at the NP level. And I don’t think...
