2. What EFM software do you use, and do you love or hate it?

   kejRN88 replied to klone's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I have only used McKesson with Centricity and Epic with Obix (which my hospital currently uses). I don't mind Obix, I like some of the tools that can be used on the strip (baseline, accelerations, decelerations, etc). The thing that I loved about Cen...

8. First day on my own- now scared to go back

   kejRN88 replied to kayleen4246's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Wow! Sounds like a rough first day. First of all, take a BIG, DEEP breath. Not every day will be like this. I do agree with having a check list of what needs to be done. When I worked on the Ortho unit, I wrote things in different colors and used a h...

    kejRN88 replied to Katniss88's topic in General Nursing

    OP, I think at times I have the same issue that you do. I have been pulled aside by a fellow staff nurse once and by my manager a few times. I have had complaints from patients and/of family members that I am not "warm and fuzzy" enough. I have alway...

    Wow! I had a recent experience with a new physician on my unit. The physician was very unprofessional towards me, ot like in your situation, but unprofessional nonetheless. I agree with klone, you should keep a record of all instances. And speak up f...
