  1. Prep for vaginal Delivery

    We do! Betadine! Right when the doctor walks in, before the baby is out.
  2. Is your Facility 'forcing' you to get the Flu Vaccine?

    YES.. At my facility, if you do not get your annual flu shot, you do not get your annual merit increase.. :/
  3. For those who work 12's and do self scheduling

    That schedule would seem okay as long as you are working days... If not, while working nights, in a row is the only way to go. I work nights so the only way I feel like I get any time off is by doing my days in a row. I still feel like my first day i...
  4. L&D Interview!!! Freaking out!!!

    No matter what the questions, answer honestly. Just be yourself and express your commitment and passion for the specialty. And do send a thank you card, and be persistent. I cant stress that enough. Good luck!
  5. Night shift turning me into a witch?

    Now that I think about it, I can definitely relate. I have been having a lot of anxiety with swings of depression, and have been so inpatient compared to how I was a year ago. So bad that I've considered going to the doctor. I never thought how it co...
  6. I honestly don't mind student nurses. On my floor, student nurses are assigned certain patients rather than a nurse so it doesn't really affect my time management and such. If anything, student nurses are a relief because they help complete tasks and...
  7. I cannot believe the number of women who would voluntarily choose to have a csection, or that would prefer one straight from the get go. Women have been giving birth naturally from the beginning of time because it is what our bodies are made to do. T...
  8. Medical Nurse with an OB interview, any advice?

    Yes I did get the job :) and no my manager did not know ahead of time that I was applying for the job. I did not want anyone to know I applied for transfer until I got the job offer IF I did.
  9. Medical Nurse with an OB interview, any advice?

    Thanks for the reply. I had my interview yesterday, and I think it went pretty good but trying not to get my hopes up. They asked me if I would like to shadow next week so I go on Monday. Hopefully that is a extremely good sign. Not sure if they let ...
  10. I have been a nurse for 8 months now so I am fairly new but I have learned so much and feel like I am finally gaining the confidence that all new nurses want to gain. I started out on a medical floor which is where I currently work. There is an openi...
  11. Had my first grievance, not very happy...

    No, the patient got her morphine at 7 something before I was even done getting report altogether because I had to override the system. She got her pain meds right away... Where I work, a lot of times we don't even get done with report until 8pm, so w...
  12. I got a voicemail today from my manager telling me to call her before she left today. This always concerns me right off the bat. I am a fairly new nurse, just about to hit the 6 month mark so I'm still real paranoid about making mistakes or making su...
  13. Wanting to be a better nurse...

    I do find that when I am able to interact with my patients the way I want to, I retain much more information about them. Unfortunately, sometimes time gets in the way of that. Thats why I love admitting people and keeping them for the duration of the...
  14. Hello all, I am new the allnurses.. I have been an RN since January and have been working as a nurse on a medical floor at a fairly large hospital in my area. Although I have learned tons since beginning work as a nurse 5 months ago, and I continue t...
