   janetrnc replied to BABYJADE06's topic in General Nursing

   I think some of the probem is with new grads wanting a day shift job, no weekends, no holidays, etc..., I een had a new grad inquire about MY job as a nurse manager! I agree that some shifts suck but patients need us 24/7 365.

2. OB Rotations

   janetrnc replied to ImThatGuy's topic in General Students

   Silly? Then why are YOU bothering to respond? LOL! My RNC has nothing to do with this thread. Your thoughts are your own and you are absolutely entitled to them. Good luck in your future endeavors.

3. OB Rotations

   janetrnc replied to ImThatGuy's topic in General Students

   I know how to stabilize a patient until I find out... Which you won't know how to do because you don't think its important enough to learn it. If you get an attitude about a public post that invited responses from other posters, I really do feel sor...

4. OB Rotations

   janetrnc replied to ImThatGuy's topic in General Students

   Some of you seem to have the mistaken impression that nothing goes on in OB that you really need to know... What happens when you have a pregnant patient on your non OB unit with complications? That "stuff" you plan to gloss over in your learning jus...

   janetrnc replied to imintrouble's topic in General Nursing

   EVERY nurse in our facilty is ACLS trained including NBN. We haven't been floated more but are way more comfortable during the rare times when we had codes in L/D or needed rapid response for a gyn patient.

9. A Question to Nurses and Nursing Students.. HELP ME!

   janetrnc replied to Hannah1991's topic in General Nursing

   I think all nurses have something that grosses them out... I've been a nurse for almost 30 years and the smell of feces has ALWAYS grossed me out and still does!

10. Why we work on holidays

    janetrnc replied to hawkfdc's topic in General Nursing

    First let me say I am a Unit Director and I worked Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, not because I had to but so my staff would not have to work 12 hour shifts on those days. Even when I'm scheduled off for Christmas my family goes to th...

12. HELP!! I need guidance I saw someone cheating

    janetrnc replied to Brie80's topic in General Students

    I would let her know I did not condone her behavior and if I saw her again I would be reporting her. Your silence may be misconstrued as saying its ok in her eyes since you already know she personally thinks its ok.

14. Racist Patients

    janetrnc replied to Williss2's topic in Relations

    I, too, have encountered the same kind of attitudes throughout my nursing career. You do what you can to educate those who have misconceptons and pray for those who don't want to be educated. I am the Director of my unit, my name tag clear states m...

15. Ever had an MD document things to make you look bad?

    janetrnc replied to ruralnurs's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I work in a non urban facility too but I still have questions about your safety... Do you have a nurse who can take care of the baby if the mom is bad? Surely your docs don't stay and take care of the mom if your baby is bad? Not being judgemental ju...
