I work in a fairly busy LAD unit, averaging around 300 deliveries a month. We recently closed our nursery and implemented the Newborn Admission Nurse (NAN). It has been a rather painful growth for us...

I'd be weary of Baylor McKinney. It's a brand new beautiful facility but I had three coworkers (L&D) leave Methodist to go there. All three were back with us within 90 days. It's pretty small and the...

Trinity Valley Community College in Kaufman offers an LVN - RN program that starts every summer.

I will graduate from there in December. Most of the classes are based on research, leadership, and management that is why there are no clinicals. There is one assessment class, but that is the only...

I too gradauted from nursing school last May. I immediatly started the UTA RN-BSN and will be done in 13 days (but whose counting!!!!). Rest assured, it is NOTHING like nursing school. It can be a...

Tyler is way out there, country and just not very appealing in my opinion. It is very rural but it is the "bigger town" in East Texas. My friend works there and she likes it ok but the pay is very...

I feel your pain! I have been in L&D since October and still can't get 8,9,10. Huge problem when I can't tell when they are complete!! It is so frustrating and I am waiting for my "ah-ha" moment!

I am working on a paper now on this issue for my RN-BSN. Not only is my hospital NPO accept ice chips but we run LR instead of D5LR. My hospital has a 10-12% c-section rate so I don't think the "just...

When we administer it in L&D we give Lomotil too, anyway to avoid that code brown!!
