  1. "But for me, 98.4 means I have a fever...."

    I was on vacation 2.5 hours away from home and had a blocking kidney stone. I had to leave and go home to my hospital. I will never forget in the emergency room the surgical resident said to me " YOur not that sick since you don't have a fever!" Real...
  2. What motivates you to go to work every day?

    Lets be honest! I love my job but I would not be doing it if I didn't have bills to pay.
  3. I can't believe people can be so inconsiderate. Or that places put up with such tardiness. At our work we are late if we clock in 1 minute late. We have to get report by five minutes after. That sounds like craziness!
  4. Who is going to wait on me????

    The bad thing is now hospitals will be reimbursed for how satisfied the patient was with their care. Imagine the patient's survey who did not get what they wanted.
  5. We work one winter holiday and one summer holiday. If it is our holiday to work we work the holiday and the day after. For example for Thanksgiving-- I work wednesday night (holiday pay) and thursday night. but I am off Christmas and New Years comple...
  6. What's wrong with kids today? (and I'm not even that old)

    I work labor and delivery and many of these immature 18,19,20,and21 year olds are having kids of their own. They are the worst patients to take care of. Very whiney, don't want to feel anything and extremely demanding and spoiled. Also taking full ad...
  7. First RN job & it's pay

    I am not a new nurse but when I graduated from nursing school 20 years ago starting pay was $20.00. I see starting pay has not increase dramatically. Just curious how much did you expect to get paid. $40,000 starting pay out of college is not bad! Nu...
  8. Can I get it back?

    Of course! Having a difficult pregnancy makes anyone feel out of wack! Good luck! :)
  9. He really has no room talk, he is not exactly what I would call easy on the eyes to look at. He use to be a dj on the radio in Detroit and was a disgusting pig about everything!
  10. Does working L&D make you want more babies?

    Working in L&D does not make me want to have more children. I have four which is plenty! I love what I do and get to see babies all the time! I say go for it if hat is where you want to work!
  11. Wanting to totally bail out on nursing

    I was an l&d nurse for10 years. I left went back to school for teaching. Taught five years and realized with four teenagers going to go to college could not make enough money to pay off my student loans and do right by my kids. I am back in nursi...
  12. I was turned down for a position but kept applying for others. I am now working at that hospital on a different unit which I love. Keep trying it just means that someone may have been a better fit for that position. Good luck!:)
  13. L&D nurses - can you look at my birth plan?

    As a labor and delivery nurse I think your birthplan is very reasonable! Just curious- is this your first baby? A trend that I have noticed is that first time moms always have birthplans. A birth without medicine or epidurals flies out the window whe...
  14. I need some help with this decision-PLZ!!

    Take the days. I am on nights with no hope of getting on days for years in labor and delivery. I have only been on nights since January. I love the people I work with but it is wrecking havoc on my body! The extra money is nit worth it!
