  1. NICU Before Moving to L&D

    ssrn13 replied to Amtrojan's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm think they were referring to my comment about the NICU babies being "fun," not poking at your earlier comment, but I agree with you... In no way did I intend to say that I take joy in babies who...

  2. NICU Before Moving to L&D

    ssrn13 replied to Amtrojan's topic in Ob/Gyn

  5. WGU vs University of Utah for MSN

    ssrn13 replied to Myprettykitty's topic in School, College Programs

    Hey! To be honest, my friends who obtained their degrees from WGU are still working the floor at the hospital, it seems they got their degree for the sake of having a degree. I kind of suspected the...

  6. WGU vs University of Utah for MSN

    ssrn13 replied to Myprettykitty's topic in School, College Programs

    Hey! I have friends that have done their masters in nursing ed at both those schools. Most of them chose WGU to be honest because of the flexibility in schedule and cheap tuition. I'm not sure who...

  9. Good online program for Women's Health NP??

    ssrn13 replied to hellonurses34's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hello! I'm currently doing my WHNP online at Duke and it has been fabulous, but the price tag is not much cheaper than Georgetown if you're worried about cost. However you can complete it in 6...

    ssrn13 replied to LnDPPRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You mentioned some of the NICU nurses are leaving, will you have many experienced nurses on the floor that can perform these skills? I've worked at a few smaller hospitals with level IIb NICUs where...

    ssrn13 replied to ssrn13's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    ssrn13 replied to MyUserName,RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I got into maternity services straight out of school, so I don't have a lot of perspective on switching, but I would definitely get NRP and ACLS-OB certified if you can :) that will be a big boost on...

    ssrn13 replied to missamelissy8's topic in Ob/Gyn

  23. PNNP vs CNM

    ssrn13 replied to ashleymr1213's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner
