    zahryia posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm still in nursing school, but I have a nagging question about preceptors. How does one become a preceptor? Do you voluntarily sign up for it? Do you get extra money in your paycheck? Do you...

    zahryia replied to zahryia's topic in General Nursing

    MarySunshine, I think this may be a good opportunity to perhaps set up a protocol (i.e. training, evaluation, etc) of some sort over time. I think it would be a great initiative for your floor and...

    zahryia replied to zahryia's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Yes, I'm still a student, but I'm always thinking two/three years ahead. And I absolutely agree with you. I'm not tied to taking the advanced route. The NICU is the one specialization I don't think...

  15. NICU NPs-What do they do?

    zahryia replied to zahryia's topic in NICU, Neonatal
