Janine is a neonatal nurse, she might be able to give you a heads up on how she got her job there and what it involves etc.]]> Fri, 23 May 2008 14:50:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17523&PID=392266&title=career-study-qz#392266 <![CDATA[Career/Study Qz : Thanks guys, i wish CPIT had more...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17523&PID=392246&title=career-study-qz#392246 Author: MissCandice

I do pre-health at the moment (finish next month, yay) and there are oodles of people who are just doing cells, or combining it with one other paper etc etc. So yes, you can spread it out.

Cells is definately the most intense course (it's not exactly hard, but it is a LOT of information to process). It also has the most tech hours per week (5 hours... 2 x 2 hour classes plus 1 x 1 hour lecture). So getting it out of the way would be quite a good idea i guess.

I'm meant to be in cells class right now, but I wasn't feeling well this morning....

I would suggest you go down to CPIT and see somene from the nursing school. I know a lot of people im my classes who are planning to specialise in neonatal nursing, but I don't know much about how it works to specialise in areas (because I'm going into midwifery, not nursing).

HTH's!
Feel free to ask any pre-health questions... I love the course! Most days.... lol.

There is no nursing course specifically to be a neonatal nurse (except perhaps on a postgraduate level)...you will have to get a bachelor of nursing through cpit where you come out as a general comprehensive nurse which allows you to work in ANY area of nursing (mental health, hospitals, GP practice, rest homes, etc.). As a rule of thumb, if you want to work in a hospital, you will then have to do a year long graduate nurse programme (GNP) which all the major DHB's run where you usually work in two different areas (you may be able to elect to work in the neonatal unit) and THEN you have to apply for a permanent position IF one is available.

I did my GNP in Melbourne, then when I came back to NZ I applied for a job in theatre. But the GNP is pretty much a pre-requisite to being able to work in an acute hospital.

Any other questions, just PM me... ]]> Fri, 23 May 2008 10:50:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17523&PID=392039&title=career-study-qz#392039 <![CDATA[Career/Study Qz : Ok yip if you do that one course...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17523&PID=392037&title=career-study-qz#392037 Author: Rachael21

Ok yip if you do that one course this year it will be one you don't have to do next year.

To be a neonatal nurse you have to do the whole bachelor of nursing and then once you have finished you can do whatever nursing you like. So you could be a neonatal or plunket or anything really.

Midwifery is just midwifery. ]]> Fri, 23 May 2008 10:50:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17523&PID=392037&title=career-study-qz#392037 <![CDATA[Career/Study Qz : Kandice you can study extramurally...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17523&PID=392001&title=career-study-qz#392001 Author: mummy_becks

Kandice you can study extramurally through Massey. If you have any questions about studying through Massey PM me I used to work there and I am studying with themm now too.

I do know of a couple of papers you can do next semester that would cross credit back to what ever degree you want to do.

Heya.

Im having a few problems with deciding what to do. I either want to do nursing or study to be a midwife. Either way i have to do Pre Health. But the thing is i want to work with babies, but not sure if you can just study to be a neonatal nurse.

Next thing is, i need to do pre health, so was thinking if i just do the cells, tissues and human body part of that course this year as i dont want to put Kylah in daycare and i can do a night class, part time would that mean when i do start the pre health full time next year i wouldnt have to do that part right? Would that mean that i would have less work to do next year?

Im confused. I really want to lean more towards nursing, but want to work with babies.. How do i do that? Does anyone know?

Thanks :)
