I will be starting in July - RN to BSN. I need to finally get this darn BSN under my belt so I go on to bigger and better things. I am hoping to do it all in one term.
I am not sure if this is too late or not but here goes... I am an OB nurse in Bethel, AK. I can honestly say I love it up here. The people here are very friendly and nice. I love the unit I work on. I am very involved with community doing roller derb...
I have always taken BP on the left side of patients with differing levels of PIH (I know there is no such thing any more, but how do you abbreviate pre-eclampsia?) An older nurse jumped all over me because I did this all night. She claims that we sho...
I just started a job in a small hospital where Cytotec induction is routine. Our policy is to monitor the baby for 30mins before admin, then monitor for 2 hours. The nurses do not even check heart tones between that time. Is that a normal practice? T...
We are supposed to go to 20 mu of Pit and our providers get upset if they walk into a room and do not see 20 mu going regardless of progession of labor. It makes me laugh because the CNM's get the most upset about it. I hardly ever go past 10 mu and ...

I am thinking about going to med school. I think my background as a nurse would help me be a better doctor. Has anyone heard of RN's going to med school. I would like to know if med schools would like that or look down on it. Any thoughts?

I love to work nights! I have worked nights for several years as an OB tech. I am now during my orientation on days for 12 weeks. I can not wait to go back to nights. I have worked at several hospitals and it seems that people are more helpful and fr...
