   Are all the beads worth it?

   LLLovely replied to TinyDancer01's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I've never heard of them until just now. I think they would not have been useful for me. The dilation boards are useful because you can actually put your fingers inside the holes and compare to how the cervix felt. For me, this is better than a chart...

   Sketchy Pharm

   LLLovely posted a topic in NP Students

   I am in an MSN program for midwifery and will be taking advanced pharmacology this Spring. We will be lumped in with physical therapists and all other MSN and BSN to DNP tracks for this class. Pharm is challenging for me, so I asked a friend who is a...

   L&D Hospitals

   LLLovely posted a topic in Ohio

   I'm from Columbus, but haven't lived here since I graduated from high school. My background is mostly maternal-child health and I'm considering going back to working on the floor. Currently, I work in a private OB office and at OSU doing biometric sc...

   Am I fired? CNA Checking Blood Sugar

   LLLovely replied to oldie's topic in General Nursing

   Generally, an employee is held liable for the highest licensure that they have regardless of what position they are working. For example, some registered nurses take positions that are coded for LPNs or even CNAs because that is all that is available...

   Elizabeth Warren says doctors, nurses don't treat black women same way as other women

   LLLovely replied to Kallie3006's topic in Headlines

   I’m sorry this has happened to anyone. Did you know that even physicians are treated poorly in maternal child settings when they are women who say they feel something is wrong? Stuff happens. However, we aren’t really talking about either of those th...

   Elizabeth Warren says doctors, nurses don't treat black women same way as other women

   LLLovely replied to Kallie3006's topic in Headlines

   You are assuming that she is saying that all of the prejudice exists in the hospital. Statistically, black women ARE treated differently with regard to pain especially in both hospitals and medical office settings. That is not to say that every singl...

   Job market FL vs. CO

   LLLovely replied to LLLovely's topic in Advanced

   I agree that DNP is not necessarily worth more money, but that part of it doesn't add much time. I am interested in the DNP because eventually it will be the standard, and because I would like the option to be able to teach without having to go throu...

   Job market FL vs. CO

   LLLovely replied to LLLovely's topic in Advanced

   I previously lived in Colorado Springs and applied for and was offered several different positions when I retired from the military myself. All of them had astonishingly low pay rates. I ended up applying to jobs in the Denver area and got offered on...

   Job market FL vs. CO

   LLLovely posted a topic in Advanced

   I've just been accepted to a DNP-FNP program. At the same time, my husband has two job offers pending, one in Tampa, FL and one in Colorado Springs, CO. I am a bit hesitant about moving to Colorado Springs. We previously lived there and I found that ...

    GRE study tips

    LLLovely posted a topic in NP Students

    If one is already good at vocabulary and writing, and one needs some brushing up, but was always very good at math, what is the shortest amount of time one could student and expect a decent score? I realize that sounds shitty, but I realized that the...

    Too old for OB?

    LLLovely replied to TinyDancer01's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It can be so hard to tell from a visit/interview. I would ask about staffing ratios, like whether they follow AWHONN standards. I would ask how often they have requirements outside of your shifts like meetings, classes, online work, annual trainings,...

    If I fail a class in my BSN program do I still have a chance to get into NP school?

    LLLovely replied to Paris2017's topic in NP Students

    I think you will be fine if you pass the second time and have a good GPA overall. I do also think it is worth discussing with your instructor. Let them know that you really want to be a nurse and do well in this class and ask what you can do to impr...

    DNP-FNP program full-time?

    LLLovely replied to LLLovely's topic in NP Students

    That makes perfect sense. I misunderstood initially and thought you meant going to part-time with school. Good luck this spring! I'd love to hear how it goes for you.

    Too old for OB?

    LLLovely replied to TinyDancer01's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I would keep trying. I am an L&D nurse and just took a full time school nurse consultant job in August. I needed to have more time with my kids. I am pushing close to 50, but didn't start having kids until later than most, so mine are still in mi...

    Baby Nurse Responsibilities

    LLLovely replied to Grayson18's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This is what I have experienced, or this with minor variations, at most of the places I have worked. However, right now I work at a large teaching hospital and we do things a bit differently. Each day a mom-baby nurse is assigned to be the "baby nur...
