1. Question for all of you travel nurses

   SheaOBRN replied to NICURNMB's topic in Travel

   I wouldn't make this jump right now.....the economy is crap and contracts are few and far between. My experience traveling-the insurance was minimal. I ended up paying over $4,000 for an emergency appendectomy on an assignment. I would want a steady ...

   SheaOBRN replied to zyna15's topic in Travel

6. Doula Etiquette

   SheaOBRN replied to suewolfie08's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Speaking for myself only....I am perfectly aware of the role of the doula in the birthing experience. I think it needs to be said to make sure that the doula knows her role in the experience as well so that she knows we are not trying to infringe on ...

   SheaOBRN replied to suewolfie08's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I am all for doulas helping our moms....I feel that most of the time, I am not able to be there and support our moms due to patient loads and ridiculous amounts of charting. I do however feel a small twinge when a mom does come in with a doula becaus...

10. I need opinions!

    SheaOBRN replied to SheaOBRN's topic in Travel

    I CARE because what is occurring is not in the best interest of the patient on a regular basis (thats why I became a nurse-to help people get the best care and results!) and because I have bonded with the girls I work with and see how miserable they ...

12. Nursing school vs. CRNA

    You have to go to nursing school first to become the RN in CRNA....usually at least a year experience in ICU as a RN before you can apply to CRNA school.

    SheaOBRN replied to NewStudentGirly's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    What the H--- is discovery learning? I am curious, never heard of it. I am also curious to know how you learn nursing as a profession and career with no instructors....I can't get half the students to be involved with clinicals when a teacher is pres...
