2. Best Stethoscope for Mother-Baby

   FizzgigRN posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

   Hello everyone, I was wondering what is the best Littmann stethoscope for Mother/Baby. I don't want to have to purchase another in the near future, so which one is the best for assessing Moms and newborns? I kind of need one by this weekend, so your ...

3. Negotiating salaries/benefits as a New Grad.

   FizzgigRN replied to FizzgigRN's topic in New Nurse

   LLG, I understand where you're coming from in regards to experience, but if another hospital is offering more, there is a ground for negotiation. I also wouldn't be "angry". I would accept the responsibility that I wasn't able to negotiate as well a...

   FizzgigRN replied to FizzgigRN's topic in New Nurse

   Hey guys, O.k. I'm super frustrated. I'm currently negotiating salaries, benefits, etc. with two hospitals. Whatever happened to sign-on bonuses, relocation and negotiating salaries? I'm just not hearing it now like I did before I entered school. Wer...

   FizzgigRN replied to OMG212's topic in Georgia

   Hi, I just passed the NCLEX, but if you ever want to meet I can give/let you borrow some of my notes. I haven't started work yet, so now would be a good time. My spanish is weak, but I could use some practice. Fizz

9. First work experience in postpartum/mother/baby.

   FizzgigRN replied to FizzgigRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    FizzgigRN posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Greetings, As a new graduate, I have the opportunity to work in a mother/baby unit (for my first job). Are there nurses out there that have started in this area and are still in it? Should I also be crossed trained in L&D? What are your thoughts ...

11. Hiring a New Grad

    FizzgigRN replied to prairiegirl's topic in General Nursing

    ... oh and the only soap I use has been Dove for the past 15 years. It's funny, I was wondering why I hated to take showers or baths often. My husband thinks I'm crazy. Once we got in a hot tub with some friends and it took me 30 minutes just to get...

15. Eczema Treatments

    FizzgigRN replied to prairiegirl's topic in General Nursing

    I too have ezcema. It would get bad during the winter months, but only affected my calves (weird) I met a great dermatologist in DC who prescribed Protopic. It works so great that I only have to apply it every once in awhile. For my hands (because th...
