So it's time to renew/ review policies and there is a back and forth on when to change Oscillator circuits. Most other hospitals change once a month but here we do every 7 days. I swear I remember seeing manufacturer recommendations say once a month but I can't find it. Can anyone help with an article or some place reference? Maybe it is every 7 days?
Hi! I am looking for some input regarding NNP vs PA for mid level providers in the NICU. I currently have my masters degree in social work and have experience working in a level IV NICU. I have wanted to make the switch into a more medical based role for a while and I have started taking my science prereqs. I have gone back and forth between the RN to NNP route or PA. I like the idea of PA for lateral mobility and being taught under the medical model. But, I hear NNP is preferred in majority of hospitals. I haven’t provided hands on patient care yet so I’m nervous to commit to RN if I don’t enjoy the NICU from a medical standpoint. Any insight?
TIA!
