1. Failed the NCLEX

   KellNY replied to JacelRN's topic in NCLEX

   After failing, how long do you have to wait to retake the NCLEX?

2. License Verification on-line

   KellNY posted a topic in New Nurse

   Anyone know how long after passing NCLEX-RN it shows up on the on-line verification page? (this is for a friend in NY, if that matters) Also, can s/he apply for a job before receiving the hard copy of the license when the state has already provided ...

3. Floating=dumping bad patients

   KellNY replied to lmc512's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I'm also guessing you got her because if she was hyperemesis, chances are she was too early in her gestation to require fetal monitoring. I'm guessing that since you're PP, you are not trained in fetal monitoring--either placement or assessing the s...

4. Is 44 cents per mile good?

   KellNY replied to deniseS's topic in Home Health

   Why on earth would you take a homecare position 60 miles away?Unless you're talking about a hospital or LTC job, in which I've never heard of any nurses getting reimbursed for distance/per mile.

5. Seriously considering

   KellNY replied to septoct7401's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I kow of many nurses who couldn't give much of a crap about caring for people-they like the scientific part of it and/or the adrenaline rush, assisting in codes, the money/benefits/flexibility/stability, procedures, traveling, etc. There are lots of ...

6. Tattoos?

   KellNY replied to kamon8404's topic in Men

   Thank you for that. Not only is that post paranoid, but not evidenced based at all...and I thought we were all working towards that?

7. Do nurses collect cord blood?

   KellNY replied to PlourdieRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Not where I work, sometimes. But where I did my OB clinicals (community hospital) they did all the time. In fact, I did a few as a student nurse.

8. 17-lb Russian baby

   KellNY replied to Elvish's topic in Ob/Gyn

   True, but technically a doctor doesn't have to "let" a pregnant woman do anything. A woman in the US could have refused an earlier c/s. Doing a c/s based on weight along probably would have resulted in prematurity in this case.

9. Patients on Medicaid

   KellNY replied to DiEd's topic in Relations

   Where are you getting this information? According to North Carolina's website, The single digit numbers are the # of people per household. The dollar amounts are what the HOUSEHOLD recieves--and that's a maximum. That's a lot less than $236 per kid...

10. Patients on Medicaid

    KellNY replied to DiEd's topic in Relations

    Shaggy, do you have any idea what a small percentage of your taxes actually goes towards Medicaid? You're not missing any time away from your family to pay for Medicaid, and if you think you are, you're either paid literally pennies an hour or are s...

11. Kindergarten Career Day

    KellNY replied to Kiren's topic in General Nursing

    I did a presentation for my son's school (2nd-4th graders) last year. I was nervous too, but we had a ball. We did it in 6 groups of about 40...with each group--didn't matter the age, sex, race, anything-the top questions for each group were "Did ...

12. Planned Parenthood... for men?

    KellNY replied to Obiwarz's topic in General Nursing

    OT, but that doesn't sound like straight talk...sounds pretty convoluted and biologically inacurate...:uhoh21:. It's not technnically possible, as the sperm would die in a cold, chlorinated environment. I get what she's trying to do, but in the end...

    Johnson&Johnson will mail you as many Nurse coloring books as you want, competely free of charge...Trying to think of the website.... Hmmm....You might not get it on time, but it's worth a shot. Edit: I found the site-- http://www.discovernursin...

14. Planned Parenthood... for men?

    KellNY replied to Obiwarz's topic in General Nursing

    Have you looked into a public health/free clinic? Most of them provide free or very low cost health care (I remember when I was in college but got denied for medicaid, I saw the doctor and got a sonogram for $8 out of pocket).

15. Planned Parenthood... for men?

    KellNY replied to Obiwarz's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a little confused by your question. As an employee, you could expect the same job duties as a female RN, and those would depend on what position you take. Generally, if you're working in the clinic, you'll be assisting with prenatal care and abo...
