1. Starting first nursing job tomorrow

   LuvsOB replied to JuicyJem's topic in General Nursing

   Congratulations! You will do great. Don't be afraid to ask questions. Listen to that little voice in your head and always trust your gut instinct. If your unit has a complainers try not to join in, it just drags you down. Good luck

2. Why Is There A Shortage?

   LuvsOB replied to Melly1022's topic in General Nursing

   Why is there a shortage? Reason #999 Because when the Dr. makes an error in judgement the nurse will ultimately be blamed and then the nurses unit manager will not back her up.

3. Is my marriage doomed? (very long post )

   LuvsOB replied to lmolvr's topic in General Nursing

   I still say run. Keep a journal and every week / month ask yourself if things have gotten better. Set a time frame and if things are not better by then LEAVE. Of course he probably searchs your stuff and will find said journal and a fight will ensue....

4. Is my marriage doomed? (very long post )

   LuvsOB replied to lmolvr's topic in General Nursing

   I'd run! Sounds like a control freak to me. Has he ever been abusive in his past relationships? My guess would be yes. I feel for you but I doubt it will ever get any better. People do not change. I would definately hold off having kids. It's easier ...

5. bad pap

   LuvsOB replied to juliey's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I would still go to school as planned. Let your instructors know that you will be missing school for a medical procedure. It would be a shame to postpone school for another year if everything is fine. If things aren't ok then you could drop out as ne...

6. any nurses out there who LOVE their jobs?

   LuvsOB replied to pie123's topic in General Nursing

   I LOVE my job. I work L & D and it's great. I've been a nurse over 10 years and I still love it. Sure some days are hard and sometimes management/other staff bugs me, but overall it's great and I would not want to do anything besides nursing. I d...

7. Jobs with animals.....

   LuvsOB replied to IloveSnoopy's topic in General Nursing

   I'm with you! I too love being a nurse but I also love animals. Many times I find myself wishing I worked with animals. To bad they don't have animal midwives or a pet pediatricians! What great jobs those would be.

   LuvsOB replied to angelbear's topic in Student Assist

   There is a new procedure with much less blood loss but after the baby wears a helmut for 6 months to a year. I'm not sure the name of the procedure. I could find out if you want to know.

9. What do ER and Acute Care NP's Do?

   LuvsOB replied to edogs334's topic in NP

   In my hospital we have a NP in the ER. I work OB so I never see her but I've heard she sees pts just like the md. A nurse I work with said her mom saw her for a laceration and the NP sutured her.

12. What does the midwife market look like where you live?

    LuvsOB replied to LuvsOB's topic in CNM

    Thanks for all of your replies. My head tells me to check out the market and proceed with caution. My heart says to just go for what I want and all the details will work out in the end. I think I'll go for it. The kids are all in college and I'm sti...

13. What does the midwife market look like where you live?

    LuvsOB posted a topic in CNM

    I'm considering midwife school but due to my geographic location it will be a great inconvience and expense. I'm just curious what the market looks like in other areas. No midwives in my area or anywhere close. Are midwives used where you live?

15. Masters in nursing education

    LuvsOB posted a topic in Educators

    I am considering a masters in nursing education. I think I would like to teach nursing and I am wondering if a degree in nursing education would be better than a generic MSN. The nurse educator track teaches how to develop a curriculum, teaching adul...
