1. Nursing School Mentoring Programs

   Naomi, RN replied to RNsToBe's topic in General Nursing

   Hello all, I love the idea, and if there was more support like the program you are proposing, maybe nursing would get away from the idea of "eating our young". I am personally benefiting from a wonderful preceptor and I believe this is making all t...

2. Getting into L&D

   Naomi, RN replied to Rosie460's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Hi, Labor and Delivery is my dream job as well....actually I would like to be a CNM when I grow up (mid thirties already!!). I got my ADN and transfered right into an RN to BSN program, which I graduate from in 10 weeks (whose counting?). My decisi...

4. DNR orders

   Naomi, RN replied to Erin's topic in Education

   I couldn't help but respond here. I have made myself quite a nuisance with those above me (Nursing Mgt., MDs and case managers) on precisley this topic. My unit care for a lot of extremely elderly patients or those with multiple morbidities to compl...

5. Leaving Management

   Naomi, RN replied to Daisy's topic in General Nursing

   Hi Daisy.....I sincerely hope that you, or any other nurse manager that has stepped down and shared your feelings here, feel that I have looked down on you or disparaged you. That was not my intention at all. I too work in a very busy, understaffed...

6. BSN vs. Associates

   Naomi, RN replied to askater's topic in ADN/BSN

   RNKat has a good point...Higher education in another area of interest or need would certainly be a good alternative to the BSN. Business, Gerontology, Sciences, Gender Studies, etc. are all worthwhile higher degrees to have and the diversity in educa...

7. BSN vs. Associates

   Naomi, RN replied to askater's topic in ADN/BSN

   I am going to reply in a different tangent. I too am an ADN R.N., and because of pre reqs. it took me almost 4 years to get that degree. I am now in the last semester of an RN to BSN program, and of course completing my Management and Leadership cou...

8. Leaving Management

   Naomi, RN replied to Daisy's topic in General Nursing

   Hi, its Naomi again. I was disturbed by all the negative responses about nursing management. For those of you that have left management and returned to floor nursing, I have some questions. I am thick in the middle of a management and leadership c...

9. Leaving Management

   Naomi, RN replied to Daisy's topic in General Nursing

   I am trying to find a management/eadership theory that would support a case study that involves just what you all are discussing. In the case study 2 units merge and the staff morale is low, the nurses from the previously seperated units are not get...

10. malpractice insurance and home births

    Naomi, RN replied to SSUleader's topic in CNM

    Hi there again, I wish I knew who you were, and I can't believe I found yourforum again. I received this question on my perinatal listserv from a cnm. Seems to directly relate to politics of home birth. Seems I can't paste it here. The question is...

    Naomi, RN replied to SSUleader's topic in CNM

    Hi .... I loved bumping into a fellow student online. This technology interaction btw. nurses may be much more than we think.... I was looking for web resources on midwifery for another class the other day and found some sites that you might find hel...
