Honestly? I would be tempted to "embellish" a story about a past experience with a coworker, or something mildly related to the healthcare field. like, maybe you recall a time you were working with...

I would suggest taking a look at your protocols and ensuring they are evidence based and mom/baby friendly. Instituting intermittent ausc as standard for low risk moms, performing all newborn care at...

oh my goodness, please excuse the random typos in my last post. My phone has the most bizarre autocorrect

I don't smoke marijuana , but I think is absolute b******* that nurses get tested for that. the problem with marijuana , is that there's absolutely no way to tell that a nurses is inebriated at work...

I havent seen it in practice, but the ANA's official position is pro-medical marijuana, either in pill form or the smokeable form.

I don't even understand the question!

I'm hoping to attend their program this fall, primarily because it is local to me and I really do not want to do distance learning for my CNM program. I am currently getting my MSN in nursing...

Oh man, stories like this remind me of my first MA job. I worked in a clinic that gave conscious sedation for outpatient surgery. The MA responsible for meds would dump the liquid versed and whatever...

i practiced as a licensed midwife (cpm) in Florida. We got ins. and Medicaid reimbursement and were fairly well integrated into the health care system. No hosp privileges, but that is because a cpm...

I did WGU's RN-BSN early last year, and they had the same rule then.

How about lice protocol?

Are you being sarcastic? Have you read this thread?!?!?!?!?!!!!

Definitely take your NCLEX right away. I would put in applications and see what happens.... if nothing comes us, maybe do a little traveling but I would caution against taking a whole year off-...

I do a little telephone triage and find it very interesting. Good luck in your new job!!!

It sounds like she is talking about a PATIENT interview- in other words- taking a history. Obviously the exact angle doesn't matter at ALL ( and I can't believe anyone would be tested on that?) but...

I live in Mass and I got my BSN online through Western Governor's University.

Oh man, with full tuition reimbursement I think you'd be crazy not to jump at the chance! IMO CNA work is much harder physically than RN work.

If you are self directed, I would recommend Western Governor's University. You pay by semester and can take as many classes as you want, so if you are a quick study, you can finish very quickly.

I did PDN when I was working on my BSN. It was horribly boring, and as soon as I found another job I left. I mostly worked nights, so when I wasn't actively providing care I just worked on my...

Yes, the "magic cream" is so important for kids with chronic health issues. My daughter gets IVIG every month, and it really helped alleviate her fear, once she learned she could trust it.

I am getting my MSN Ed at WGU- I highly recommend it, as long as you are able to work independently.

Yes, I started in OB (with a brief stint in home health). I actually worked in OB before I was a nurse- I was a birth assistant and childbirth educator, then a Certified Professional Midwife and...

Hi! I used to practice as a certified professional midwife (CPM) and licensed midwife (LM), and I did homebirths and birth center births. Our license did not allow us to prescribe or administer any...

I just wanted to add that I hope those of you doing peds onc get to rotate through the ataxia telangiectasia clinical center at JH. My daughter gets her care coordinated through them!

Wow, that's obviously not palliative care. If that really happened it is homocide. Even if the estranged family member somehow had POA (which I am assuming he did not, based on the scenario), you...
