7. From NICU to OB

   ColdHandsWarmHeart replied to mstelz's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I think you would rock it! Just study a bit before hand, the common meds, emergency situations etc. Your biggest trouble would probably the charting aspect, but that would be a bit troublesome when transitioning from any specialty to another. I think...

8. New grad in L&D. Are these things normal?

   ColdHandsWarmHeart replied to ColdHandsWarmHeart's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I'm not certain if it's a reaction to temporary conditions, Maybe it is, I hope not. It is the majority of the nurses sad to say. But the ones that are not like this are so amazing, and kind and patient.

   ColdHandsWarmHeart replied to ColdHandsWarmHeart's topic in Ob/Gyn

   That's exactly why I brought up the issue of a hard life, was expecting comments about how nurses become desensitized in a way. It's just odd that I see surgeons, physicians and other nurses that do not have this attitude. I wonder what makes some p...

    ColdHandsWarmHeart replied to ColdHandsWarmHeart's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That's a pretty long rant about me. And it's funny that you made an assessment about me. How do you know for certain that I am part of the ME Me generation? There is no way that I feel superior or tougher than these nurses. If anything I can learn so...

    I am a new grad (RN) with no hospital experience aside from nursing school. This is my experience on the L&D floor I am in. I've come to you all because I don't know what is normal in the healthcare setting. So I am often left alone. On half of ...

    ColdHandsWarmHeart replied to RickyA's topic in Texas

    1st step: go to Nursing Orientation. An advisor will not provide you with accurate information, and Nursing advisors are not available to non-nursing or pre-nursing students. During the semester, orientation is held at 1pm every Wednesday. That could...

    Your GPA is only a fraction of your total score to enter into the program. The total score is also based on the amount of times you had to take A&P I and II, and microbiology. I believe you are ok with a 3.0. I have a 3.8. Contrary to what Nancy ...
