    Compact License question

    NICUmiiki replied to Jefe's topic in General Nursing

    Think of it like a drivers license. You can drive in other states with just your home state's DL. You only need to apply in a different state if you move

    I want to be an OR nurse...how can I get applicable experience?

    NICUmiiki replied to AJS1's topic in General Students

    My hospital has case techs. They are not certified. They basically help bring in the patient and help the surg techs start prepping their skin once they are under anesthesia in the OR. There was also...

    HOW TO BECOME A NNP??

    NICUmiiki replied to KPalmer2017's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm an NNP student. There are a couple of NNPs on the board too. Try asking questions in the NICU board. Since you're already an RN, you need to finish your BSN and work in a Level III or IV NICU for...

    Coming in late with a weird question

    NICUmiiki replied to Flare's topic in School

    Ok.... just googled that. I would (cause I'm petty) suggest that since they aren't US citizens (eye roll), they are here illegally. They and their children should be detained and held in detention...

    CERNER

    NICUmiiki replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Lol. They upgraded it quite a few times since then. The newest version is web-based. It still doesn't generate tasks like Cerner did, but it's not that bad. Comparing with a friend who works at an...

    Preceptor Link & Clinical Match Me

    NICUmiiki replied to inthecosmos's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Now if only we could convince everyone that this is probably the best choice. Hmm... if demand for schools that placed clinical went way up and down for schools that didn't, we'd see more schools jump...

    MS in Health Informatics to MSN/ DNP Family Nurse Practioner?

    NICUmiiki replied to Sweet Tea247's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Since you don't have an MSN, it's unlikely you'll find a school that will let you bridge. Part of certification is having an MSN or DNP. From my experience, school tend to limit the number of credits...

    WGU BSN to NP?

    NICUmiiki replied to Meme_RN18's topic in General Students

    WGU is CCNE accredited, so being accepted to NP schools shouldn't be an issue. You should check out what schools Cali allows before investing a lot of time

    NICUmiiki replied to Sweetjun's topic in Florida Nursing

    Accredited by ACEN? I looked this school up, and couldn't find any sort of accreditation status pending or otherwise. CCNE only accredits BSN programs. Sure, you can work as an RN, but your choices...

    BSN to DNP Schools

    NICUmiiki replied to Ct2415's topic in School, College Programs

    Tbh, not all schools offer all specialties or sub-specialty concentration. Many schools limit the number of transfer credits to 9-15 from my experiences. They can also deny credit if they feel it...

    If you want to be a neo, you should start looking at med school admissions websites now to see what you'll need. Nursing will be fine as a major, and working as a nurse will count as your medical...
