1. Getting into Postpartum/couplet care

   Postpartum RN replied to PurpleIvy2's topic in Ob/Gyn

   You can definitely email or stop by and speak with the manager and let them know your interest. Ask if you can float there as a break nurse, that way you get your foot in a little and get to know the staff. Good luck!

2. How much do you pay monthly for Health insurance?

   Postpartum RN replied to LDAthleteNurse's topic in General Students

   About $22 every 2 weeks, (per paycheck). This includes medical and dental for myself, 2 kids and a husband, vision for myself, and life insurance for all 4 of us with different amounts. No deductible. Copays for doctors visits are $10

3. Failing nclex 6 times

   Postpartum RN replied to F8112014's topic in NCLEX

   In my opinion the problem could be that English is her second language. It is obvious from her/his posts that grammar and semantics are a struggle. I have worked with foreign educated RNs who are very smart and have great critical thinking skills, bu...

4. foot check on diabetic at dialysis clinic

   Postpartum RN replied to Healerforlife's topic in General Nursing

   I wouldn't threaten with a lawyer as was suggested earlier. I don't believe that is appropriate for you as an RN. I would do what the previous poster said though, document and fax it to the nursing home, call the DON and let them know. Some RNs can ...

5. Community vs psych nursing before LD

   Postpartum RN replied to Hcoutinhojay's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I would take the hospital job. For this reason, you will already be in the system and it will be easier to transfer as an internal employee to labor and delivery. You will be able to meet more people and network inside a hospital than in home care. I...

7. Going into the ICU as new grad

   Postpartum RN replied to NURSEJSS's topic in Career Support

   Take the icu job. It is obviously where your heart is. You will be unhappy with the other job since you are having doubts right now! In my experience, signing a 3 year contract is not a great sign. Usually they do that if they cannot retain nurses, ...

8. Night Nursing: Precepting & Perception

   Postpartum RN replied to Larry2016's topic in General Students

   I think you should stop worrying about how you won't learn anything on night shift (you will). Just wait until you start, then come back and update us. Night shift does all the same things that day shift does, except less or non discharges, and less ...

   I'm so sorry Farawyn. Hugs!

10. Please help :(

    Postpartum RN replied to %D#2's topic in General Nursing

    I am so sorry for your loss. (((Hugs))) How cruel and mean of this person to do this to you. I would never cover another shift for her again if she did that to me. She had the balls to ask you to work for her on THE DAY of your brothers MEMORIAL serv...

11. Best MD note

    Postpartum RN replied to beckster_01's topic in Humor

    Although I love these and they make me laugh, I do wonder how do these doctors get away with this kind of charting? Does it fly? Or does someone audit them and they get Into trouble?

    Postpartum RN replied to Flare's topic in School

    I really like reading your posts, all you school nurses. I am often shocked by the reasons students come to see you guys...even getting pads/tampons? Hmm...free right? It's just all so...I guess "different" to me.. When I was in school, I never visit...

15. People who don't look before flushing (#2)

    Postpartum RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Lol I always give my husband a hard time for not looking. Sometimes when he's I'll or his stomach hurts I ask him about his stool and he says "huh?? I don't look I don't know!" And then I tell him to look next time and tell me, and he says ew I'm not...
