   tmulder replied to I am Legend's topic in Utah

   I went to Ameritech. I was in the first class that graduated and I had NO problem finding a job!

2. How long will it take you to admit a new patient to L&D?

   tmulder replied to Jiayou's topic in Ob/Gyn

   A full brand new admit? 45 minutes. If they have been here before that leaves off a few history questions so.........30 minutes. It does take time to get used to it but here is my advice: Get familiar with the admission questions and ask them whi...

3. Anybody else struggling with anorexia and bulimia?

   tmulder replied to lovingtheunloved's topic in Recovery

   I apologize if I acted angry/defensive. I am fighting very hard to raise my self worth and self concept. I think what your therapist said rings very true. Because I so dearly want to hang on to how far I've come and how far I plan to go, I would be...

4. Anybody else struggling with anorexia and bulimia?

   tmulder replied to lovingtheunloved's topic in Recovery

   You know what. Cross out some of what i just wrote. I still think that Altered is rude and self-righteous but you know what? I don't care. I know who I am. I know that I am a fantastic nurse, not just at my job at the eating disorder clinic but ...

5. Anybody else struggling with anorexia and bulimia?

   tmulder replied to lovingtheunloved's topic in Recovery

   I was not going to come back to this thread because I was pretty sure Altered would say something that would hurt my feelings. I decided to come back to continue my communication with people who shared similar situations to me. I guess I should hav...

   yes i was. my job has employed several people who are struggling with the disease or have been patients there at the facility. it is very easy for me (and others) to help other people, i am able to see very clearly what my patients need to do to re...

7. So are your antepartums breaking like ours?

   tmulder replied to Elvish's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Yup. It is making me crazy! I think it must be all the storms we are having here.

8. Anybody else struggling with anorexia and bulimia?

   tmulder replied to lovingtheunloved's topic in Recovery

   You have a very eloquent way of putting this. It is so much easier to see the worth of others than it is to see the worth in ourselves. I wish that I had an answer for you dear "lovingtheunloved", just know that you are not alone. I have struggled...

9. Yelled At During A C-Section (Among Other Things)

   tmulder replied to RN1981's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I am sorry that this happened to you. I just finished my 12 week orientation in May. I honestly used to come home and cry just about every day. Every pt I was assigned always had crazy things like prolapsed cord, preeclamptic seizures....you name ...

10. Private Colleges???

    tmulder replied to cnafromaz's topic in Utah

    I think the idea that a 2 year RN gets all the grunt work is ridiculous. The only hospital that gives a rat's behind if you have your BSN is the V.A. And you can continue on to get your BSN as several of my prior classmates are doing so as we speak...

11. Private Colleges???

    tmulder replied to cnafromaz's topic in Utah

    I can't vouch for Utah Career College, but I graduated from Ameritech in October and I had my job 2 months before I graduated. My hospital employs about 15 people from Ameritech. I agree with the above poster. Work your tail end of in clinicals, ...

12. Ameritech

    tmulder replied to liason's topic in Utah

    I was offered a job during my preceptorship before I had graduated. So for me finding a job was no big deal. I don't think most managers have a problem hiring from tech schools as long as the nurse is good. Work your tail off in clinicals and you ...

    Thanks so much for your words of advice and wisdom. I am so glad that I am not crazy for feeling this way. I am so sorry for everyone who has had to go through these experiences, but, it makes me feel so much better to know that I am not alone. My...

14. Question about miscarriage

    tmulder posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Just wondering how you recover emotionally from a miscarriage when you work in L&D. It just feels like it's being rubbed in my face all day long. Anyone have this experience?

15. Kegel Exercise

    tmulder replied to futureRN09's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I like to tell mom's that they should do at least a set of 10 every time they feed their baby (breast or bottle). This gives them a fairly consistent daily routine as baby will usually eat about 8 times a day when baby is newborn.
