   kayemmejayRN replied to violet_violet's topic in Ob/Gyn

   You could have had the mom reposition left to right or vice versa. It doesn't seem like it was a deceleration. Sometimes when that has happened to me I offer the mom something sweet like apple juice, Popsicles or ginger ale to see if there is a chang...

7. Precepting in L&D

   kayemmejayRN replied to DeleineHolmes's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I did my practicum in postpartum because I was told that L&D would not prepare me for NCLEX. I had to fight for postpartum as well. I passed the NCLEX on the first try with 89 questions. I hope you can get in L&D or NICU. Good luck.

   kayemmejayRN replied to studentnurse9806's topic in Ob/Gyn

   The hospital I work for has an L&D unit and PP unit. We are all crossed trained and we float between the units. When a PP nurse floats to L&D they are usually assigned a post partum mag patient. We do not give them our high risk ante partum o...

11. Emetophobia

    kayemmejayRN replied to giarose2007's topic in General Nursing

    I have an irrational fear of vomit. I have had patients vomit and retch around me. Sometimes I can stand being in the room with them as long as they are only vomiting stomach contents and not food. Sometimes I will make sure they have a emi-bag or re...

12. 11 days after job shadow.. have not heard anything yet..:(

    kayemmejayRN replied to Pipersh's topic in Ohio

    I just got a job offer today from a job I interviewed and shadowed over a month ago. Sometimes the managers and HR are busy. Sometimes they may be performing background checks. I know it is nerve wrecking but don't give up hope and hang in there.

    kayemmejayRN replied to slidster's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree with Kayla. I landed my first nursing job on a postpartum unit. I did my senior role practicum on a postpartum unit and developed a great rapport with my preceptor. I even went as far as to introduce myself to L&D and PP nurse managers at...

    kayemmejayRN replied to totoRN12's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am new to nursing and I just landed a job in PP as well. I had the same fear of not using my clinical skills but I found out you still use them on PP units. Even though it may seem like you have low acuity patients, all babies are not stable on the...
