  1. Online Faculty with MSN?

    I am very interested in becoming an online nursing instructor, but have the following questions: Background first... I have 21 years of experience as a RN (mostly in OB, but also in Med Surg, ER, Rehab). Obtained my MSN and CNM (Certified Nurse Midwi...
  2. CNO vs. Dept. Manager

    Thank you all very much for clarifying the difference in positions among smaller vs. larger facilities. Gave me much to consider!
  3. 7 months and I can't do this anymore.

    I totally agree with all the other posters who have said there are SO many options for RNs! Find something that fits you. Such as school nurse, industrial nurse, outpatient clinic, nursing home, assisted living, rehab, psych, public health, WIC, ho...
  4. OB RN wants a job outside of the hospital!

    How does the OB phone triage pay compared to floor nursing? Does anyone know anything about pursuing a job with a drug company or medical device company, doing sales or clinical education/inservicing? That is something I've considered...
  5. CNO vs. Dept. Manager

    I've been a nurse manager now for 3 years. Some of it I like, some of it I don't - Specifically, staffing and scheduling, as well as disciplining. And, of course when staffing isn't what it needs to be, I'm the one working the floor on the holiday we...
  6. Clinical Field Specialist or Medical Product Sales

    I have always been interested in this, too. Wish Allnurses had a separate specialty category for this! I love to travel, but am not quite ready to travel as much as is necessary for most of these jobs. In a few years, when my kids are grown, YES! ...
  7. So 39 weeks is the full term cut off now?

    Ideally, elective inductions at ANY gestation should be avoided. Evidence shows induction is not beneficial (if no medical reason) until after 41 weeks. I realize we are all patting ourselves on the backs for avoiding elective deliveries prior to 3...
  8. Nursing Educator Salary

    What about online adjunct faculty? Can anyone give a ball park expected salary for that? Thanks!
  9. How old were you/how long did it take?

    I did Frontier's ASN-MSN Bridge program (took 3 years) and officially became a CNM on my 39th birthday. :) Good Luck!
  10. Debrief After Traumatic Events?

    Do any of you have any examples of good debriefing processes where you work, following staff involvement with traumatic events? What has been helpful and what hasn't? We don't currently have anything in place, but I'd like to change that. I think ...
  11. Chamberlain or De Vry?

    I have a full time job, so I don't think the isolation factor would be an issue, but I can understand how it would be if you only worked from home. How many hours per week did you need to devote to each class as an online instructor? Just wondering...
  12. Chamberlain or De Vry?

    I noticed some job openings for online adjunct instructors at these nursing schools... Anyone have any experience as a student or teacher with them? Anyone do any online teaching someplace else? How do you like it? Thanks!
  13. For Those Who Offer VBAC...

    Actually, ACOG does not state that anesthesia, etc. must be in house for VBAC... It says that they recommend it be undertaken in facilities with staff immediately available to provide emergency care, but that in a facility with resources not immedia...
  14. Can any of you tell me roughly what your lactation consultants do on a routine day in your units? Do they round on all breastfeeding moms? At regular intervals? What about documentation? Any other duties? Thanks!
  15. VBAC

    Sounds like your facility is much larger than ours, LibraSun. :) We have no one in house 24/7. (450-500 births/year, 9 bed LDRP) We have a policy in place for twin deliveries that requires everyone be in house once patient is in active labor, an...
