2. PP nurse being sent to med-surg floors to take pt assignment?

   MomBabyUnitRN replied to livealoha's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I absolutely don't think it's wrong to tell them you can't take patients. How would a med/surg nurse like to come up to L/D and take a patient? I used to float to med/surg all the time early in my nursing career from a PP/L/D floor. I worked med/s...

3. Suspended for a Medication Error

   MomBabyUnitRN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

   It can be hard to forgive yourself when a med error is made. I still remember my first med error; gladly, it has faded over the decades. I had floated to another floor which was common back then. It was a written order, but at our small hospital, w...

4. Adjunct faculty pay

   MomBabyUnitRN replied to sheronep's topic in Educators

   Where I work, it's $800 per credit. My CNA class is a 4 credit class; so it's $3200 per semester. Some semesters are module classes meaning they may be only 8 weeks long or it could be a traditional 12 week semester. The clinical instructor gets 1...

   MomBabyUnitRN replied to klone's topic in Western Governors

   Hi fellow nurses... I'm in this class right now, and I can feel your pain so acutely. Is that Era III? Anyway... Just know that you're not alone in your painful feelings of reading and trying to understand this. :)

9. RN-MSN at WGU... Help!

   MomBabyUnitRN replied to LuckyRN23's topic in Western Governors

   I go to WGU and have never had a course mentor that doesn't have a Ph.D. My student mentor has an MSN however. I know that there are course mentors that have MSN's, but they're generally not teaching or lecturing there. At least, this has been my ...

12. Question from a third shift nurse....

    MomBabyUnitRN replied to BrandonLPN's topic in Geriatric

    It's been a long time since I worked in a SNF, but it was against policy to get residents up before day shift. We didn't mind getting them dressed if they were already up, but to physically get them up and get them dressed was considered assault (I ...

    Hi Rhonda. I work in L/D part time. I remember when I first started working there, we'd use oranges (baby's head) to apply fetal scalp leads. That orange would be in a box of course. And it would be held there by the instructors hand. That was...
