Don't know but since this is the direction I am hoping to go into it would be nice if somebody responds.

Although I can see your point, I had to make that decision 20+ years ago, and it was a challenge! I look back then and remember the struggles of one income - we were poor financially and had to make...

If you can find a way to cut back your hours and stay home do so immediately. A job is a job and there will probably be many in your life but your baby is your baby only once. If you are able to...

Do you have marketing material such as flyers or brochures that you could leave at some of the places your clients would visit. Not just MD offices, but shopping centers and libraries, all of the...

I think you should do the Reiki if that is what you want to do but you will have to do some educating as in free workshops/classes or seminars. From there you can begin to get a feel of what it...

Thanks for the info! Is very useful.

I agree with the previous poster re: L & D but my reasons are because you have to change roles at a moment's notice. One minute you have an antepartum patient just administering meds and watching...

Hi Queen You know I was also a mother baby nurse. Lots of teaching there but the problem is that it is repetitive. I wanted to expand that teaching that is why I am considering public health,...

I went back and forth on whether or not to get a masters in public health vs a masters in nursing with a community health/ public health focus. I want to run my own programs and seminars and teach...

Queen I also would like to combine labor and delivery with public health nursing. I am considering becoming certified as inpatient ob nurse so that i could get a step up on teaching some...

This is a very interesting thread because I have been working on a similar idea for over a year. I set up a website (although not yet launched) and wordpress blog. My topics range from natural...

That's a tricky scenario especially when I have seen patient's stay at 2-3 cm and then change pretty quickly from 4-10. Labor is so unpredictable. Charting and more charting before discharge to r/o...

At my last delivery I walked into my patient's room just as her water broke and lo and behold light green fluid. A quick check and she was also complete. There was no time for anything except...

I always wondered why nurses don't liberate themselves and bill for our own services. Other professions do this why not us?

I have mixed feelings about this, I left the corporate world for nursing over twenty years ago. Some days I wonder why but most days I am glad I did. I doubt that I would have had the experiences...

During clinicals pay close attention to what interests you. I know it may be early on in your nursing career to know what you may what to specialize in, but in terms of getting a leg up on the...

You took the words right out of my mouth. I have been brainstorming and am even forming a group that encourages each other about ways to strengthen ourselves and move on from our nursing jobs. For...

To be honest with you, I found working nights on mother/baby a little boring. I enjoyed teaching (also like childbirth education etc.) and did like the feel of watching the new family bond....

I remember making a comment about wishing we had a doc in house {the post was re: small/rural hospitals} and most commenters responded as if that wasn't necessary. I even remember one saying that...

I am sure that any experience you are receiving in the ER will be sufficient experience for labor and delivery. As a new grad, you will be given an extensive orientation and trained from scratch. ...

If you have a chance to get hired onto an L & D unit go for it. It can only help in your quest to become a WHNP. You learn a lot about laboring and delivering but also, antepartum care - they are...
