   I would LOVE a job in home health- perinatal area. I only have L & D experience, but love, love, love public health - especially the teaching aspect. How did you find a position like that? Any tips for someone in Tennessee to find a position li...

2. I need advice on job offer

   im_an_honest_1 replied to taz5's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I am a Labor & Delivery nurse and have never done anything else but L&D. That is ok for me - because I knew that it was all I ever wanted to do. That being said - if you don't know you love L&D think very carefully about committing your...

3. Can you go into the Air Force, Army or Navy Reserves as an OB nurse

   im_an_honest_1 posted a topic in Government

   I have 3+ years experience as a RN-BSN in labor and delivery. I have NEVER worked anything else (no med/surg - no ICU/ER & don't plan to ever). I am just researching some options and happened to come across the Navy's website and it piqued my cur...

   im_an_honest_1 replied to navyman7's topic in Government

   Hi, I have my BSN and 3+ years experience in Labor and Delivery. I've seen a lot of posts about ICU RN's and the Navy. Do you have any knowledge about how it works for those that don't have a critical care/Med-Surg/ER background? I've never worked an...

5. Mississippi nurses roll call!!! (be known)

   im_an_honest_1 replied to 1BlessedRN's topic in Mississippi

   Well hello there. I just realized that I haven't looked for Mississippi nurses since I moved down here - shame on me. I am a fairly new nurse - having graduated in May of 2009. I actually work in Arkansas, but I reside in Robinsonville Mississippi...

7. How many New Grads from 2009 still don't have jobs?

   im_an_honest_1 replied to ilovenursing2009's topic in General Nursing

   I totally agree about where in the country you are. I graduated from RN school in TN and had difficulty finding a job, moved back to my home state of CT and there was NOTHING in that area (I applied at hospitals and nursing homes in CT, MA, RI, NH &...

8. What ever happened to "mother nature"?

   im_an_honest_1 replied to im_an_honest_1's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I would never take my job in L & D and trade it for anything. My posting is just that - I am truly shocked with how business like healthcare is now. I never in a hundred million years would have thought of myself as a "holistic" nurse, because ...

9. locked unit problems

   im_an_honest_1 replied to deonj_21's topic in Ob/Gyn

   We are in a locked unit and are anxiously awaiting a security system. The doorbell thing gets really old. Recently our hospital ran a code pink drill - we failed - the fake baby made its way right out the door. :-(.

10. Confessions of a 30-Something RN Grad

    im_an_honest_1 replied to LuvofNursing's topic in New Nurse

    I went home and cried for two full hours - moped around the house in a catatonic depressed state for two days and I refused to pay for the early results - my husband did it instead without my knowing. He came into the kitchen while I cooked dinner f...

    im_an_honest_1 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Ok, So yes, I am a new grad and very "wet behind the ears" but I have gone through the labor process 4 times over now and I am what you could say a nontraditional nurse - starting when I am 31. Needless to say, I grew up in the Northeast, where dri...
