I was offered a job at wm Cary a few months back for a dollar less per hour. This is with five yes exp in a specialty care area. The shift diff was great though. I turned it down (not for the pAy,...

Thanks for all the feedback, everyone! Jules, that has been my husbands thought as well.....NC is like the medical mecca of the south east and with that many hospitals, there is bound to be...

Thank you for that very important info! Moving backwards is on my list of fears. I am coming from a "baby friendly" family centered facility. Many before me have worked hard to break some of those...

I will be relocating soon and one of the options is Tucson. I am already in love with the city itself but need to know more about nursing jobs in the area (specifically in labor and delivery). What...

WOW, I was expecting a pay cut but I am not sure I was expecting THAT much of a pay cut. I was keeping my fingers crossed for around $25 minimum. Which I figured with a lower cost of living, would...

We are going to be moving to one of those states in the next few months b/c hubby is military. I am trying to figure out which I would prefer and a big issue is what the jobs are like. I would LOVE...

We are relocating and NC is a potential contender. Before I commit, I am hoping to get more info on jobs in the area. What hospitals in the Raleigh area are considered the best places to work in...

Good for you! I went straight into LD from nursing school. I had heard rumors of med surg being necessary...but I knew from the begining that I wanted LD. I personally don't feel like I am missing...

Hey there! I was born and raised in Pittsburgh...and have lived in Anchorage for the last 7.5 yrs. My thoughts.....Anchorage is "cleaner" and not as crowded. Things are more spread out....but...

My hubby is stationed at Elmendorf and I graduated from UAA so maybe I can help some? Anyway...UAA is the only RN program in Alaska. If your prereq's are done, getting into the ADN program might...

My hospital does not have a written policy.....and what you do depends on if it is a placement (and if it is a rescue cerclage or not) or removal and if you are are a scrub or circulator. So, I am...

I posted about something similar not that long ago but didn't get much response, lol. My issue wasn't so much with taking care of the women themselves, it was more a matter of visitors/support...

I have to say, I am a bit saddened by some of the things said in this thread. Here are my .02. You have to remember, majority of the time, the patient has already made up their mind wrt what their...

Thanks everyone for your responses. I am still putting Rex on my wish list. However, I keep going online and I am not really seeing any listings at any of the hospitals for LD nursing. I have a...

We have a standard of 1:1 most times. Exceptions are if it is early labor cervidil type inductions. Even then, we try to keep 1:1 if staffing allows. Of course, there are always emergencies and...

The job market for new grads isn't fantastic, but it isn't horrible either. Providence has some great "intern" positions offered a few times a year. They give specific training to nurses with less...

YIKES they don't even see the baby for four hours? I work at a baby friendly hospital so we are big on skin to skin but we don't do it in the OR mostly b/c of the low temps. But baby stays with mom...

Thanks for sharing. We have a 36 bed MB unit and a 12 bed prenatal unit. We don't transport out...we are the ones getting the transports, lol. But it is interesting to me to see that your MB...

My hospital still does them...they do a year long internship to train in all area of the maternity center. However, they JUST did their hiring for the positions. They occasionally open some up in...

Your unit sounds only slightly larger then mine. We also have the only high risk unit and NICU in the state, and while we have less rooms, our NEED is probably to be the size of yours, lol. We do...

You can always TRY, I just don't know if I would hold my breath. I guess it all depends on the hospital and their needs/resources. I know that at my hospital, if they had a position open for an...

On the topic of demise's..... while those are by far the most emotionally difficult for me personally, they have also proven to be the most rewarding as well. I will never continue to be amazed at...

I can see how, if you do 1 hr recovery it would be more important to start recovery after repairs are made rather then placenta. I personally can't imagine a 1 hr recovery b/c none of our patients...

So, if a visitor or support person shows up with s/s, would they be allowed in to the unit? Would it matter if it is the fob or not?

Our recovery also starts when the placenta is delivered. Usually it isn't an issue unless a resident is doing a repair that takes forever, lol. Our "goal" is for them to be transfered to MBU within...
