   Britrn04 replied to xoxJanexoxDoexox's topic in Ob/Gyn

   In my current facility we take 3 couplets. This is manageable when we have 3 healthy couplets, but this is never usually the case. We have sick Mom's down here with high BPs, drug use, scant prenatal care etc etc. Subsequently our babies are SGA, ...

   Thank you for your perspective on home visits. I did interview yesterday and got a lot of good information about the program from the field staff. It is very successful in my area. I can definitely see the benefits and obstacles moving forward.

   Has anybody made a hospital move (from LD PP, Nursery etc) to NFP? I am interested on hearing about your transition and if you like the program. How about personal safety and job satisfaction? Appreciate any feedback. Thanks

   Britrn04 replied to Britrn04's topic in School

   I only stayed as a school nurse for 1 year. I went back to the hospital setting. I got an MSN in Nursing Education and teach adjunct in a BSN program. Later on, I will try to teach full-time and get my summers that way :-)

10. RN job in UK

    Britrn04 replied to Water Lilly's topic in Career Support

    Yes, I have a passport and NI number. All my family is there; I married an American and am US trained. Just something to ponder with my parents getting older...not a process I would really like to endure with NMC. Thanks

11. RN job in UK

    Britrn04 replied to Water Lilly's topic in Career Support

    I wonder how it would work for me. I have a BSN, but I have a British passport and still a UK subject. I know I'd need to go through the the nursing council but I wouldn't need a permit visa. Do you think this would improve my chance?

12. New School Nurse: VENT

    Britrn04 replied to Britrn04's topic in School

    I tried so hard with school nursing and moved on....it really wasn't for me. Perhaps it is the area I live in, but I found it just wasn't a good fit. My husband is a teacher and really wanted to get on his schedule and take the summers off. Not fo...

    Britrn04 replied to leeymarina's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It will be difficult to keep a fulltime job, active social and family life once accepted into nursing school. Try your best in the pre-req to get good grades as nursing school admission can be very competitive depending on where you apply. Somethin...
