1. Interview discrimination?

   RNmom7 replied to RNmom7's topic in School

   Thank you, I think I've let emotions run away with me. Our family has been in crisis for 5 years and I'm seeing small glimmers of hope. I just need to take it slowly. The right job will come at the right time.

2. Interview discrimination?

   RNmom7 replied to RNmom7's topic in School

   No, it's a private school. I get that it could be their policy, but in less than 24 hours they put a "hold" on hiring for the position, but updated in their career opportunities as an available position.

3. Interview discrimination?

   RNmom7 posted a topic in School

   I know that know one can actually give me legal advice, but I just want to know if I should take this farther, so it doesn't happen to someone else or let it go. My child will be attending a new therapeutic day school. The building is actually n...

4. Do you have an OB in the hospital 24/7?

   RNmom7 replied to adpiRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I am from the Midwest and the facility I work at is just as you have described. It is scary, but also has made me a stronger nurse, IMHO. As previously mentioned, when a crisis occurs all hospital staff have to be a part of the team. I'm not sure ho...

5. "true knot"

   RNmom7 replied to LouisVRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I had a true knot with one of my own children, born in 2006. It was not previously detected and caused no complications. I had a vag delivery.

6. L&D not for me?

   RNmom7 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

   Like many of you here, becoming a labor nurse is my dream job. For me it became a reality approximately 6 months ago at a rural facility, which averages around 240 deliveries annually. Lately, since I am to be off orientation soon, I have been unsur...

7. Tips on getting into OB?

   RNmom7 replied to BellaRN24's topic in Ob/Gyn

   So, how do you go about meeting and e-mailing nurse managers when hospitals will not give out this information?

8. How Can I Get Acclimated to the Midnight Shift?

   RNmom7 replied to iluvdetroit's topic in General Nursing

   I will be starting NOCs myself tomorrow, but I have younger children, so not being a day person on my days off is really not an option. Does anyone have any advice on the best way to adjust to rotating? We do have self scheduling as well and I'm wond...

   And don't forget to check out hospitals on the Illinois side. The pay is comparable.

10. Any other new grads concerned about finding a job??

    RNmom7 replied to TeleNurse2010's topic in Missouri

    Well my experience, having recently graduated, is around $20/hr base pay for new grads. You do get shift differentials, but many hospitals are no longer offering bonuses or loan repayment for new grads at this time.

11. What to do?

    RNmom7 replied to LoveANurse09's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Don't give up. It can happen, I just got my official offer a week ago in OB.

14. Interview next week...need advice

    RNmom7 replied to RNmom7's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The interview went really well; however, this job is in another state so I'm applying for licensure by endorsement and I'm afraid by the time I get a temporary license it will be too late. The recruiter called me back, and said they're hands are basi...
