  1. New ADN Grad Case Manager

    How about a good medical-surgical book. I don't have one to recommend-(maybe on the other specialty forums on allnurses? I would try to work as many shifts as possible. You have steep learning curve ahead of you just be willing to learn and eat a lot...
  2. New Telecommute Case Manager

    Hello there! I am a telecommuting case manager and things will vary based on your company. I never had to prove my office had a door locked. However, HIPPA is very important and I cringe to think about what would happen if anyone were founded in viol...
  3. Is this burnout?

    Eh, every patient population brings its own challenges and concerns. I don't try to worry too much about the personal lives of my pts. (I certainly notice it). I just don't dwell on the negative. It would drive me crazy. I just do the best I can for ...
  4. how long did it take for you to get into L&D nursing?

    Here's advice from an L&D nurse- take an L&D job if it's what you want to do and you are offered the opportunity.
  5. There is a difference between not understanding and not agreeing.
  6. Dealing with Overbearing Visitors

    It sounds like you need to be more assertive. There is no reason to be rude to the patient's guest. YOU have to take control of the room because ultimately you are liable for the care. FOB can lay all the guilt he wants. Obtain consent fromt the pt ...
  7. Vag Exams on Preterm Patients??

    How preterm was she? Also, I second the question about the FFN test. I have checked a patient who was 35 weeks gestation.
  8. This is certainly NOT my philosophy when precepting. Yes, nursing is difficult. Yes, we do deal with life and death situations. Still, there is little need for the level of drama you’ve inserted into your role. Also, I must agree that you are perpetu...
  9. Stamp out Gossip today

    Some people thrive on gossip. They love making others feel as bad about themselves as they do. I especially dislike the way I see some nurses demean other nurses. Whether it's talk about their work performace, their personal life, or any of the oth...
  10. Nursing Externships

    I did two internships before I left nursing school. That's how I got my first job. It is most certainly worth it in my opinion.
  11. What do you indicate when they ask "Salary Requirement"?

    I put a range of what is normal/ acceptable for my experience and area. My last job interview I put 27-30 dollars an hour. I got the job and my salary was in that range.
  12. I think you'll find your orientation to be long enough. The role of a mother/baby nurse is very different than many other areas of nursing.(be prepared to do lots of teaching.) As a new grad I had a 12 week orientation on labor and delivery. In this...
  13. Pretty bad at starting IV's

    Yes there is a chance of hitting a valve if you go for a "Y" vein. Usually you have less change if you go right below the bifurcation. Also, I understand there are endless do's and don't when it comes to IV therapy, but when trying to learn a new ski...
  14. Bedside handoff report on mother/baby unit

    You can definitely make bedside report work. On my old OB unit, we did bedside report. If I had a social issue I needed to pass along to the next nurse I did so before I entered the room. I also agree that letting the patients know you're going to d...
  15. Anyone working BUT dosen't have to?

    I dont have to work but I enjoy nursing. Also, my income creates a bigger rainy day fund for us
