   mamallama replied to jmws's topic in NP

   Hi there! I'm a FNP student at Frontier. Went to Frontier Bound last May, am just finishing my last Level I class and taking my first Level II class. I can't really speak to how hard it is to get admitted - I know I got in :), but don't know what the...

   mamallama replied to jstuben's topic in NP

   Actually, NPs in several states can, and do, run their own practices. I used to be the office nurse for an NP in Idaho who owned her own business and hired an Internal Medicine MD as her employee

3. any ideas of how to get a NP for clinicals?

   mamallama replied to johnson0424's topic in NP

   I'm starting a distance program through Frontier in May and am facing the same thing. There is a NP locator on NP Central (sorry, can't think of the actual address right now). You could also try looking for a state NP organization or checking with th...

4. Floating from L&D

   mamallama posted a topic in Med-Surg

   I need some help knowing what kind of orientation I should ask for. I'm a L&D nurse and have recently started at a new facility as a per diem. At this hospital, L&D nurses float frequently to med-surg and take a full team when they go. I went...

   mamallama replied to BowlerRN's topic in Uniform/Gear

   Just bought a pair of the knock-offs....first 12 hr shift with them today -- they were great. Not sure how they'll hold up, but for $7.99, I figure it's worth a try.

7. Med Error!!!!

   mamallama replied to AMARTIN1's topic in General Nursing

   I don't think I know a single nurse who has never made a med error. When it happens, the most important things are to admit that it happened (NEVER cover up an error) and to take a look at what happened so you can try to prevent it next time. It soun...

   mamallama replied to sweetieann's topic in General Nursing

   Yup, you are thinking a bit too much. :kiss Don't worry, you'll get it. Nobody was born knowing how to run IVs -- we all learned it and you will too. There's been lots of good info on this thread. A couple more thoughts for you: As far as how to ru...

9. This doc makes me very uncomfortable . . .

   mamallama replied to RaeT,RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

   LOTS of nurses advocate for this. The last hospital I worked in had a wonderful group of nurses, midwives, and physicians who worked together to provide a safe birth while honoring the woman's wishes. We provided tons of labor support, utilized posit...

    mamallama posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hello all. I'm going back to L&D after 2 years out of hospital nursing. My previous L&D experience was in a rural facility that was fairly low-intervention. We did lots of labor support (yum) and few epidurals. Now I'm headed to a larger faci...
