   Jesuah replied to Sandy G's topic in Triage

   It's interesting that this article has come to my attention since I just recently applied to a company for remote phone triage for Women's Health. I have 41 years of smaller facility OB care (labor, delivery, post partum and newborn nursery). I am re...

2. The Supreme Court has overruled Roe v. Wade, the 1973 landmark decision establishing the right to abortion.

   Jesuah replied to Julie's topic in Headlines

   "Women can still have abortions and access to abortions without interference. They just have to go to the areas that allow it. It's simply a matter of law - or lack of law to be more accurate." Unfortunately, the above is not true. There are sta...

3. Nursing Burnout, Moral Residue, and Resilience: An Interview with Anna Rodriguez

   Jesuah replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

   It's not so simple to change specialties especially if one lives in a rural area with few facility options. I had been in one specialty for 28 years when I was belittled and constantly made to feel worthless and incompetent by one physician. Unfortun...

   I have been working for 37 years and the last 6 1/2 as a traveling nurse. There certainly are pros and cons to this type of nursing but the biggest pro I see is being able to avoid much of the drama/bullying/politics of a facility. I also wish there ...

7. 2016 awhonn staffing guidelines in L&D

   Jesuah replied to maxienurse's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Thanks for your response. They figure they are covered because they DO have a 2nd nurse inhouse... Just not very readily available. Makes it difficult to even go to the bathroom during my 12 hour shift since I'm worried about a light going on.

8. 2016 awhonn staffing guidelines in L&D

   Jesuah replied to maxienurse's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I am wondering about staffing on L&D. 3 couplets, stable but the newborns need all the 24 hour cares done and there is only 1 nurse on the unit. I do understand that usual staffing is 1:3 but if that one nurse is with one couplet and a light goes...
