It all depends on the job market. To be eligible for a NNP program you need a minimum of 2 years work experience in a NICU. If you work PICU or the like then it won't count but to get a job in the NICU, the PICU experience may help, but then again, p...

The PNP and NNP are two separate specialties, hence why there's two different programs for each position. It doesn't matter if you become a AGNP or FNP or PNP, unless you're certified as a NNP you won't be able to work as one and to become certified ...

Nurses are licensed, not certified, just clearing that up If you're willing to put in the hard work then you can do it. I agree with the person who posted before me, it is wiser for you to get a BSN because peds is already a very competitive floor b...

Okay so I'm in need once again for some advice from all you lovely folks. I currently work as a Nursing assistant at a SLF. The facility that I work in doesn't even require you to be certified, though I am. My scope of practice is your basic helping ...

Woah 10,000 for CNA???????????? I paid not even 1000 for my certification!!! Definitely a rip off

I know that some hospitals don't require you to be certified to work as a nursing assistant, though they do prefer it. I guess it wouldn't hurt to browse around and see what the hospitals around you require. I would go for the CNA though and not the ...

Team work makes the dream work.

I know this post was from a while ago but how do you like Duke's NNP program? I'm looking into applying for it next year but I'm torn between Duke and Vandy, just wanted some insight.

Around my area, student nurse techs and extern/intern positions are for BSN students only, but it might be different for you. I'd call different hospitals and SLF and ask what programs they offer and what the criteria is. Also, if you can get a job i...

You need 2 years worth of working experience in the ICU (some schools will also take experience in ED, but check with the program first.) An RN-BSN program is usually 1.5-2 years, depends on the program.

Hello fellow allnurses members, currently my university has a plethora of organizations and societies, but none of which fit my direct interests and needs. Many of our organizations are just general pre-med/pre-nursing, or a general volunteer society...

Wow thank you so much for all of this information!!

It does! Thank you so much!

Hey all, So I'm kind of in a dilemma. I am desperately trying to job shadow RNs/Nurse Practitioners but all of the hospitals around me only let you do that if you know a professional who works at their hospital, and I know zero people who are nurses ...

Will I be able to join them even though I'm a pre-nursing student? We don't have many professional organizations or similar opportunities around where I live, but I will definitely try to look around and see where I can get in. Thank you!

I took it at Aress Academy in Southfield. Theyre also accredited and provide you with clinicals and a free BLS course, which is great because many facilities require you to have that certification also. They're pretty great, they really do prepare yo...

I didnt take it at macomb because I found another program that was half the cost but I have a lot of friends who took it and really liked it. The course is basically common sense and learning how to do skills like transferring, changing briefs, doing...

Hey all, I'm currently a BSN nursing student, but I already know that I want to go further with my education and become a NP. Through lots of research and job shadowing, I've decided to explore the pediatric/neonatal nurse practitioner option that th...

Well no, I am interested in midwifery. I was just wondering if having a CNM and a NNP/PNP certification would benefit me in any way, I understand that they're different scopes of practice but at the same they are similar in some ways. I've seen that ...

Congratulations! I heard that it is very hard to get a job in the NICU as a new grad nurse. Any tips or suggestions on how to land the job that you did?
