   The mothers nurse circulates, the lead is the baby nurse and the tech scrubs. Works well but we are a 14 bed LDRP with our own OR suite

2. The Concerns of My Loving Wife

   NewNurseyGirl2009 replied to JohnWatson's topic in General Nursing

   Well first off good for you. Nursing is very rewarding but hard work. Why not attend an associated degree program which is more cost effective? Nurses are not forced to work overtime but when they do they get paid very well for it. My facility pay...

3. sub-standard nursing opportunities

   NewNurseyGirl2009 replied to olpoohky's topic in Oregon

   Nursing schools are not always prepared. I know sometime things would change last min. or we would not know where we were having clinical until the week of. We also had assignments due during our breaks. This is common,especially in many of the sch...

   Sorry, so many people are looking for jobs right now. I have a friend that graduated 6 months ago and another who graduated months ago and they are both still looking. Getting a job is tough right now.

   I had Reglan one day for a migrane in the ER. I never get migranes but they gave me a choice of ativan/reglan and something else cocktail or dilaudid. I didn't want to appear a drugy so I opted for the cocktail. (I had just been in the ER days befor...

8. Applying to Portland Schools with PreReqs not done?

   NewNurseyGirl2009 replied to Junebug0710's topic in Oregon

   You can apply but keep in mind there are so many other people applying not only with them done but with 4.0's. I would not waste themoney until they are done.

9. Taking nclex-rn on december 22

   NewNurseyGirl2009 replied to bettyboop09's topic in NCLEX

   Honestly I felt the same way and the anxiety was worse than the test. I passed in 75 questions and it was not bad at all. I wanted to throw up before I went in but decided to take it early to get it over with. Just take it, you will feel better an...

12. Nurse tech position...advice needed

    NewNurseyGirl2009 replied to xyra's topic in General Nursing

    The problem is going to be that the hospital isn't going to want to hire you and train you for a tech when they will just have to retrain someone when you graduate. Are you graduating soon? We are going through the same thing at our hospital and ou...

13. failed my science courses

    NewNurseyGirl2009 replied to narditorino's topic in General Students

    Yes that is not a good gpa. People here are not getting into RN school without 4.0 (straight a's) and LPN's need great grades too. If you got C's I am wondering if you are putting enough into it. Schools will look unfondly upon that. My best advi...

14. Unprofessional School Orientation

    NewNurseyGirl2009 replied to Dakovich's topic in Pre-Nursing

15. Should I go to nursing school if I have a blood phobia?

    NewNurseyGirl2009 replied to pixeee's topic in General Nursing

    I used to have to sit down when I watched an IV being put in. Now I can put them in without a second thought. I also had to leave the room during a throacentesis (still think that one is bad) I scrub for c-sections but the first one I watched I had ...
