    Yay!!!!!!!! I can't wait to find out :)
  2. Frontier Nursing Class 154

    I'm so anxious that at this point I don't know if I should be excited or not. I really want to be accepted but I worry about whether or not I've made a good choice to return to school at my age. I think I've just had to much time on my hands to think...
  3. Frontier Nursing Class 154

    Any update anyone? I know that the applicants for class 152 received emails around 23 days after the deadline closed. That means that maybe we will hear something by June 10th.
  4. Frontier Nursing Class 154

    Now that I know the application deadline has passed I feel even more anxious. I hold my breath each day when I check my email!
  5. Frontier Nursing Class 154

    Hi! I'm also waiting to hear about acceptance to Class 154. I submitted my application in February so It's been a long wait! I hope to hear something soon. I'm looking forward to "meeting" potential classmates while we are all waiting.
  6. How does your unit make sure tasks are done?

    Oh and to add one more thing....Each time a new policy is presented or existing policy modified a copy is placed in the charge binder along with the checklis the charge nurse does and each staff member has to read and sign it. That way we all know of...
  7. How does your unit make sure tasks are done?

    We have a charge nures checklist that it to be completed per shift. On the checklist we assign "housekeeping" duties to each nurse on the floor such as stocking rooms, checking off crash cart ect. On of the checkoff duties for the charge nurse is als...
  8. Nursing students...I can't believe...

    You know the saying "You don't know what you don't know"? I think that folks that think that obtaining an advanced practice nursing degree without the bedside experience don't understand how valuble that experience is because they've never done bedsi...
  9. Cna's view of nursing

    I've been both a CNA and an RN. There are days when I would love to come to work and do my assigned task and go home. I worked hard as a CNA and was a valuable member of the team. I had no idea then how stressful it is to be an RN. In my eyes at that...
  10. Pregnant stroke pt!?!?!?!?!

    So much focus is put on a mom being preganant that sometimes providers lose sight of the fact that if mom dies, so does baby. Not to say protecting the fetus is not important, and may call for some modification of tx, but if mom dies so does baby. I ...
  11. Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune

    Since posting this I've become employed at Naval Hospital. I've been there almost three years and really like it! I work L&D and we follow AWHONN guidelines. Nurse to pt ratios are usually very good. Like any job there are issues or bad days from...
  12. What are your favorite types of patients??

    I love the pt's that want to have a drug/epidural free natural delivery. It's really a rewarding to be at the bedside to coach them through labor, or teach family members how to be effective coaches. Those pt's are so grateful for the support. I also...
  13. Shout Out for Nurses working in the Hurricane

    I don't have a crazy story...just something to share. I am an L&D nurse for a Naval Hopspital in coastal North Carolina. Worked a12 hour shift Friday, slept at the hospital Friday night, and worked 12 hours shift Saturday. Friday night we only go...
  14. Nurse+Anxiety, adjusting to weekends, any tips?

    If it makes you feel any better, I also grieved the time I missed with family by working every other weekend. I took a clinc job so that I could work M-F instead. And guess what, I hated that even worse! I never had a day free to go to my kids school...
  15. Be honest - Do you get excited about birth anymore?

    I've been an L&D nurse for 5years and still love it! Somedays I'm more "excited" than others to be present at a delivery. I really enjoy that fact that in L&D you have predictability and high acuity all in the same shift. I feel like i'm jus...
