1. Another OB Interview, Brainstorming!

   RaziRN replied to RaziRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Thank you! I'm not even going to try to speculate as to how it went because I'm apparently a terrible judge of that. I did get to see my old preceptor and she remembered me! Everyone was so nice and welcoming. The NM remembered me from my preceptorsh...

3. Question for those who work with a majority of Filipino nurses

   RaziRN replied to samirish's topic in General Nursing

   I worked with several filipino nurses and two of them precepted me. They were great! And I loved trying all the filipino food they brought in! :)

4. Another OB Interview, Brainstorming!

   RaziRN replied to RaziRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Um, I don't understand how it is I seem so desperate. I can't stop doing something if I don't know what I'm doing wrong in the first place. I have no personal experience in OB. I have no children. This is the unit where I did my 120 hr preceptorship...

5. Another OB Interview, Brainstorming!

   RaziRN posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

   So, I have another OB interview on Friday at my old hospital and I've been brainstorming my strengths, weaknesses, etc. and was wondering if some of you could look them over and tell me which ones should be my top 3? This is my last shot guys, if I d...

6. My first OB Interview

   I just got the dreaded rejection email...

7. My first OB Interview

   RaziRN replied to RaziRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

   *Sigh* Things aren't looking too bright right now. I e-mailed the NM some questions I thought of over the weekend like she asked me to if I thought of any, and I haven't received a reply. I figure if she was gonna hire me she would be willing to answ...

8. My first OB Interview

   RaziRN replied to RaziRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

   So, I had my interview today. The only question the NM asked me was why OB? And I told her it was my passion and how I've always had a fascination with all things OB. She then went on to explain scheduling, staffing and orientation in depth. From wha...

9. My first OB Interview

   RaziRN replied to RaziRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

   So, what are the differences between the levels? This hospital has a NICU so I'm assuming the support is definitely there if something goes wrong. I respect OB, I've seen first hand things that go terribly wrong. In my final semester of nursing scho...

10. My first OB Interview

    RaziRN replied to RaziRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You guys that are saying that OB is super stressful are scaring me. I've never been in an OB unit that seemed to be near the amount of stress in med/surg. There seems to actually be down time on these units. Now, the L&D nurses seem stressed but...

11. My first OB Interview

    RaziRN replied to RaziRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I plan to tell them that I quit to follow my passion in nursing which is OB. It's the truth as well as is the whole stress thing. I'm hoping I can deal with the stress in OB because I actually like OB. Thanks for the advice!

12. My first OB Interview

    RaziRN posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hi, I just recently (this week) quit my med/surg job because it was causing me ridiculous amounts of stress and I was depressed to the point of suicidal ideation. I have 14 months med/surg experience. Very fortunately, I got a call today to interview...

13. Nurses with Tattoos and Piercings

    RaziRN replied to CMALynzer's topic in General Nursing

    I just don't understand this association that people with tats or piercings are automatically unclean and unkempt. I have one unusual piercing and I make no effort to either show it off or hide it. I go to work in full make up etc. and work nights to...

14. Nurses with Tattoos and Piercings

    RaziRN replied to CMALynzer's topic in General Nursing

    Really? ^^^^^ I know a lawyer who is very heavily tattooed and pierced including microdermals which are implanted into the skin. They just don't happen to be visible piercings or tattoos.

15. How long did you stay?!

    RaziRN replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing

    13 months and counting in med-surg/tele/stepdown type unit. I really want OB.
