   xoxJanexoxDoexox replied to xoxJanexoxDoexox's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Thank you so much for all the feedback! We never have a decdicated APGAR nurse from mom/baby and their team lead or resource person usually takes patients. We have a closed nursery (only staff allowed in) so when there is a baby in the nursery a staf...

2. 3 Couplets, too much?

   xoxJanexoxDoexox posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

   Our hospital has recently started using a new staffing grid and it has our mom/baby nurses in a panic. I have never worked in postpartum or routine nursery (only L&D) so I'm not sure what it's like to take on a 6 patient load. Is 3 couplets per R...

3. What state should I apply in as a new grad?

   xoxJanexoxDoexox replied to nevergiveup2016's topic in Job Hunt

   Have you looked into jobs in North Dakota? There are not any mountains here and the winters can be rather long (I'm originally from Florida). The people up here are so friendly, the nicest in the country maybe. The oil boom has brought an increase to...

4. New Grad...should i stick with nursing?

   xoxJanexoxDoexox replied to kathleen07's topic in New Nurse

   I was a new grad who looked for a job for almost a year after I got my license. I know I was a bit rusty when I got to my unit but such a large part of nursing is learned on the job. I had some really crappy clinical rotations in school. Watching cra...

   I could maybe..maybe see this happening for a singleton delivery..but twins? How is she going to help grab the second baby while she's trying to hang onto the first baby flat on her back? Usually with twins we are in a bit of a rush trying to get bot...

   xoxJanexoxDoexox replied to NurseJacelyn's topic in Rock

   One day I was in the check out line at Walmart chatting with my friend. I was telling her I wish we could have gotten pink highlights in our hair for breast cancer awareness month (not possible because of nursing school) and the woman in front of us ...

8. Newborn Nanny, Should I Return to School for Nursing at 48??

   xoxJanexoxDoexox replied to sprtngrl47's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Have you considered becoming a certified lactation councilor or even an IBCLC? Some hospitals hire CLCs PRN. I think most would want you to have your RN though. You seem so passionate about being hands on with moms/babies..which is wonderful..but I w...

9. L/D RN learning to scrub for c/sec

   xoxJanexoxDoexox replied to massbaby's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I circulate and scrub for sections. At my hospital new hires spend the first 2 weeks back in the OR scrubbing in with a scrub tech. After those first 2 weeks we only scrub PRN so I have gone 1-2 months without scrubbing a case. I would say I'm compit...

10. Urgent Csection

    xoxJanexoxDoexox replied to Tink1987's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I scrub and circulate for c-sections so I've been on both sides. I would have made the same call you did..if there is ANY doubt an x-ray is the only solution. I wish you would have had more help in the OR. Another nurse could have found heart tones w...

11. Still jobs for new grads/ADNs?

    xoxJanexoxDoexox replied to HopeRules's topic in North Dakota

    Last year I moved from Florida to Bismarck, ND. I was hired as a new grad with just a phone interview. Our hospital is always short staffed. The turn over rate is high. You might not be able to pick which unit you want to work on but I'm sure they wo...

14. "old" new grad

    xoxJanexoxDoexox replied to bellatrixrn's topic in New Nurse

    Hey, I just moved from Florida to North Dakota. I was an 1 year old grad with an ASN. The opportunities up here are endless because of the oil boom and the fact (let's face it) that this isn't the most comfortable place to live. However, they hire ne...
