   Nickname or legal name change

   adventure_rn replied to CalicoKitty's topic in General Nursing

   I'm not in exactly the same boat, but I go by my middle name, and it always creates a whole to-do with job applications. For what it's worth, I use my first initial + middle name at the top of my...

   Sexism in Advanced Practice?

   adventure_rn posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced sexism in the workplace as an NP, especially compared to working as an RN? Perhaps it's because my field (NICU, peds) was so heavily female-dominated,...

   Quitting with less then a two weeks notice

   adventure_rn replied to Ashpea24's topic in First Year After Licensure

   I agree, but I don't think it changes the current state at a lot of hospitals. I can only speak to pediatrics, but from what I've seen most of the "Top 10 World News & Report" hospitals have...

   Why is PGE contraindicated in PPHN?

   adventure_rn replied to taylordawn's topic in NICU, Neonatal

   I'm a peds cardiac NP with a background as a NICU nurse, so I can take a stab at answering this one. It's actually a really interesting question. Breaking it down into more manageable questions:...

   help! Australia nurse to Nevada, OB requirement

   adventure_rn replied to vivi123's topic in General Nursing

   I feel like this should be repeated for the people in the back. First of all, multi-state licenses for work for people like travelers who are taking temporary positions; if you move to the new state...

   NEURO ICU or NICU?

   adventure_rn replied to donutcrumbs's topic in Neuro Intensive Care, ICU

   I don't think NICU will be as hard to move out of as you expect if you change your mind down the road. Yes, there will be a very steep learning curve going from NICU to adults (the same way there is...

    Any nurses file their own taxes? Turbo? h&r block?

    adventure_rn replied to Happytimes's topic in General Nursing

    I always have, the only circumstance as a nurse in which I wouldn't is if I were a travel nurse. A couple of random tips: Depending on how much you make, both H&R and TurboTax have a...

    11 Best Neonatal Nurse Practitioner (NNP) Programs in 2025

    adventure_rn commented on Julia Liou's program in Nursing Programs: Explore Your Options

    Oof, this comment section is pretty hard to read. UW also had a great program, and it closed a few years ago, too. Penn still has a program, but the recent cohorts have only been 2-3 students from...

    Paths To Critical Care (true story)

    adventure_rn replied to PMFB-RN's topic in Critical Care

    I have to agree with @offlabel, I think you're making a few bold and sweeping generalizations. I think your points about the financial benefits of going through the ADN route are entirely valid....

    NP to physician... is it possible?

    adventure_rn replied to FamNP123's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I know I already responded, but I was looking back through some of your prior posts and had another thought. By your own admission, it sounds like you probably jumped into your FNP program a little...
