   INFJ replied to mitchsmom's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Questions: 1. Do you circulate your c sections? Does your unit provide the scrub tech & baby nurse also? Yes...we also are trained to scrub & assist as RNs, & we have a neonatologist and a NICU nurse at every c/s. 2. Do you do all of them...

2. When do you open up your Pitocin?

   INFJ replied to ragingmomster's topic in Ob/Gyn

   We give 500 LR with 30 units of Pit infusing to gravity as soon as the placenta is delivered. Most of our docs have standing orders and expect the RN to start free-flowing Pit as soon as we hear them say "placenta is out". Protocol is to give a tota...

3. How long is orientation for new grads on your unit?

   INFJ replied to mitchsmom's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I'm a new grad in L&D and I'm doing a 9 week orientation. I precepted on the unit for about 4-5 months while I was finishing my BSN. 6 weeks of my orientation are on L&D, 1 week on Antepartum, 1 week Circulating in the OR and 1 week Scrubbing...

4. NCLEX freak out

   INFJ replied to INFJ's topic in NCLEX

   Thanks guys! I am seeing a trend with most of the people who took 75 questions and thought it was a monster. I just hope that it works that way for me, too! I did a whole lot of Saunders (from the book, as well as the CD), but I did all of the questi...

   INFJ replied to INFJ's topic in NCLEX

   I took it in AL...we have the fast results check, so I'll know on Thursday. I have GOT to find something to preoccupy my time! Right now I'm just obsessing and 2nd guessing everything! I have no idea how to feel! Good luck on Monday! =)

6. NCLEX freak out

   INFJ posted a topic in NCLEX

   Just finished taking NCLEX-RN. It cut off at 75 questions...I think I only knew about 3 of the answers for sure. It was the hardest thing that I've ever taken -- it made HESI seem easy! I am so scared that I failed. I feel numb...shellshocked, really...

8. how do you like your job?

   INFJ replied to FlowersMakeMeHappy's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Hi! You asked a great question...maybe I can help a bit! I will graduate in May and I have been hired as an L & D nurse. I have a BA in Psych and a Master's in Counseling. You are wise to steer clear of social work (from a money standpoint!). In ...

10. Was your previous career a failed one?

    INFJ replied to manofletters's topic in General Students

    I am so feeling your pain! I, too, am 27...I have a Master's degree in Counseling. I graduated with a 3.98 GPA and searched for a job forever and never found one...not a decent one anyway. I have really "secretly" always wanted to do nursing, but was...

    INFJ replied to blueiwahine's topic in General Students

    I am so mad at the Med Surg HESI right now I can't see straight!!!

12. NICU here I come...

    INFJ replied to Tiny1Nisolet's topic in NICU

    Yay! Congratulations! How do y'all decide where students go for preceptorship? We do a lottery and I'm hoping that there will still be a chance to actually get where I want.... Congrats again! Amy:lol2:

13. Nclex:Kaplan or Sauders ?

    INFJ replied to trekjudy's topic in General Students

    I am also another huge fan of Saunders. The questions with rationales are great, as well as the book that has strictly content. There is information broken down regarding nutrition, caring for clients with a tube, etc. Very helpful! Put it on your C...

14. Birth Control Patch Warning

    INFJ replied to maureeno's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm so glad that this warning is already posted. I had my L & D clinical yesterday and the nurses were telling us to tell all of our friends who are on it, because evidently, very young women are throwing PEs and dying! That's craziness....this i...

15. Huntsville Hospital v. Crestwood...

    INFJ replied to INFJ's topic in Alabama

    Wow! Thanks for the reply. I am sorry that they were "snobby" to you at Crestwood. I guess it doesn't really surprise me. I just expect HR folks to be excited to see RNs...because they are the majority of employees and there is a shortage, right?!? ...
