  1. DEA license, apply now or when offered a job?

    rnkaytee replied to flipper628's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My employer paid for it and it was completed (by them) during my on boarding

  2. Pediatric Nurse Practitioner info

    rnkaytee replied to geva81's topic in Advanced Practice

    I did my MSN-NNP so I'm not as familiar with PNP but I am from Washington state. Here is a list of out of state programs that are accepted in Washington state to help give you a start. It lists the...

  3. Pediatrix NNP questions

    rnkaytee replied to Markunasnr's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I don't have access to them anymore then, I guess but I didn't feel they were that helpful. I thought the CCRN questions were similar, though. If you have access to the FANNP lectures I would HIGHLY...

  4. Initial APRN license

    rnkaytee replied to Bumex's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yes, I did and stayed in contact with the state

  5. RNC-NIC

    rnkaytee replied to essT's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I remember a lot of ABGs and what you could do to fix them, also a lot of electrolyte questions. But honestly, I felt like it wasn't that hard and that most of the questions were answerable if you...

  6. NICU ETT tape

    rnkaytee replied to alfollin1's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Oh no! That's what we've been using for 20 years! Why do people not like it? We put duoderm underneath - never have had a problem with unplanned

  7. Breast Milk Verification

    rnkaytee replied to drb_30's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    ^We do the same - scan it into our MAK like any other

  8. DNP student's project's proposal and IRB approval

    rnkaytee replied to christvs's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I didn't do a DNP, just my Master's but still had to get IRB approval because it involved human subjects. The process was extremely time-consuming and complex. I had to get IRB from my school (which...

  9. micropreemies and vaccinations

    rnkaytee replied to medsurg4ever's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I wish we could give more advice but it's against TOS. I can tell you that the vaccines were administered per standard protocol. My own 28-weeker was given the vaccines at 60 days of age, so yes, it...

  10. DNP Pediatric Pathway Question

    rnkaytee replied to twhite20's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I think it completely depends on your area - in my city, we don't use PNPs (either AC or primary PNP) in the hospital - they only work in clinics. It also depends on what you want your life to look...

  11. What are your call requirements??

    rnkaytee replied to slp080477's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    We only do transport call - 24 hours/month. We are only called if there is a transport to an outlying hospital. If it is for short staffing, people just get lots of calls and texts until the hole is...

  12. FNP Program...scam or worthwhile?

    rnkaytee replied to Valcorie34's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Simmons is accepted by Washington state for out of state programs with clinicals in the state so you're okay there.

  13. What to do after passing the AANP in Florida

    rnkaytee replied to sgreen0809's topic in Advanced Practice

    The NPI number is fairly straightforward - if you already have a job I would use that address as the public can access the site. I have heard that the number gets generated within 1-2 days but I will...

  14. Maintaining nursing certifications as an NP

    rnkaytee replied to NeuroNP's topic in Advanced Practice

    I dropped my NICU RN certification after I became an

  15. NNP, PNP, FNP

    rnkaytee replied to RN_Mami's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I would strongly suggest getting some experience in these areas before you decide - I know for at least the NNP you need 2 years of Level III NICU experience

  16. NPI number, New Grad

    rnkaytee replied to TryingNot2BAMenace's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I used the hospital I was going to work at for the address - and just a heads up, it took me 5 weeks to get my NPI due to "high volume." I applied July 20th and didn't receive it until the end of...

  17. ACNPs - what's your background?

    rnkaytee replied to RN-ing's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    16 years of Level III NICU (never had to do adults thank

  18. Student Nurse Seeking Advice for NICU Clinical

    rnkaytee replied to SNRR610's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I think if this is something you're really passionate about you should get a Merenstein & Gardner book - you can usually find older, used ones on Amazon (I just checked Amazon and the used 6th...

  19. Can an accredited NP work as an RN (in scope) in Ohio?

    rnkaytee replied to Iconic's topic in Advanced Practice

    This may be a hospital policy - I would check there first. There are NPs that work as bedside RNs after graduation but my understanding has always been that you are held to the highest standard of...

  20. NPI number?

    rnkaytee replied to rnkaytee's topic in Advanced Practice

    I would - I just used my hospital's address since that's where I was going to be working after graduation. I received it now after a 5-week wait but until that time I had to bill under my

  21. NPI number?

    rnkaytee posted a topic in Advanced Practice

    Does anyone know if you can work without an NPI number? I start next week but the NPI is taking 20-30 days as of now to be

  22. Soon to be New Grad NP insight wanted!

    rnkaytee replied to danceluver's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I definitely had a low patch in my 4th semester - a million things to get done plus a ton of clinicals. I graduated in May and started last month and I love being an NNP - probably not much more...

  23. Education ideas needed please :)

    rnkaytee replied to babynurseedu's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Golden Hour care and developmental

  24. In desperate need for a NPPreceptor. Please help. For Western Washington- Puget Sound area

    rnkaytee replied to RNmeee's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    My friend goes to Gonzaga FNP online and she mentioned that they help with placement - what have they done to help? Good luck, that must be very

  25. Thoughts on going for NP with 2 young kiddos?

    rnkaytee replied to BabyFood26's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    My kids were 6 and 4 when I started NNP school - my son went to school every day and my daughter went to preschool 3 days/week so I did have time to get school work done. I worked as an RN on the...
