1. Full time night shift and divorce with small children

   studentsara posted a topic in General Nursing

   If you work full time as an RN (3 12hr shifts/week) and are divorced with school age children, how does your custody agreement look? Im a night shift nurse and this may be in the cards for me but honestly I cant figure out how custody would work. M...

2. Call bell/nurse notify system

   studentsara replied to studentsara's topic in General Nursing

   ievent2, I like the use of the word theoretically LOL. That's how our administration is selling this system to the nursing staff, needless to say we are somewhat skeptical.

3. Call bell/nurse notify system

   studentsara replied to studentsara's topic in General Nursing

   Yep! Exactly.

4. Call bell/nurse notify system

   studentsara posted a topic in General Nursing

   My hospital is getting ready to revamp out call bell system. Currently it's the basic patient calls out to a central desk and the person who answers either takes care of the issue or calls the nurse on her Spectralink pocket phone (think Nokia from ...

5. Male student nurse interviewing for Postpartum..

   studentsara replied to kingvonnBSN2017's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Will they throw out a male OB Md? Again, our male OB RNs have been well received by patients and their families. It's been pretty refreshing!

6. Male student nurse interviewing for Postpartum..

   studentsara replied to kingvonnBSN2017's topic in Ob/Gyn

   We have 2 male nurses on our L/D unit and they are wonderful! Only one patient has declined having a male nurse so that has been refreshing. One of the things we do is present them as we would any other shift change nurse "This is L, he will be you...

7. Overwhelmed by nursing info?

   studentsara replied to Looking_ahead's topic in Student Assist

   My best advice is to remain focused on your tasks at hand and handle each new section as it comes to you. In the case of nursing school, trying to look ahead at what you should know is almost impossible. Things like care plans, drug logs, and nursin...

8. Any John Tyler spring 2012 hopefuls?

   studentsara replied to hopefulmommy's topic in Virginia

   Just keep checking each day. They were available to order about a month before classes started and came in the week beforehand I believe. Congratulations!

9. Geology and TEAS V?

   studentsara replied to karamarie91's topic in TEAS

   From what I recall, the geology was a VERY VERY small part of the science section. You would do well to know your basic conversion measurements, yes. They will give you some of the ones that are more obscure and you have to do the math. My test ha...

10. Poll: Was your anatomy & physio separate or combined?

    studentsara replied to DBK99's topic in Pre-Nursing

    We had A/P 1 (4 credits) one semester, then A/P 2 (4 credits) another. I loved it that way!

11. Nursing school, here I come!

    studentsara replied to cherryblossomRN's topic in General Students

    Got mine today too, so excited! GOOD LUCK TO YOU!

12. Two-minus-one pregnancy

    studentsara replied to Elvish's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yes, I read the entire article. Perhaps my feelings are biased because I know dozens of families who have gone through varying levels of fertility treatments and none of them would have reduced from 2 to 1. Not for social reasons, not for ease of p...

13. Two-minus-one pregnancy

    studentsara replied to Elvish's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Sounds a bit dramatic to me, which is probably exactly what the "author" intended. For the record, actual adults going through reproductive assistance are counseled and topics like this are discussed at length. A person who had gone through extensi...

14. What procedure/situation are you most nervous about encountering?

    studentsara replied to studentsara's topic in General Students

    Right?

15. What procedure/situation are you most nervous about encountering?

    studentsara posted a topic in General Students

    I start my 2 yr ADN week after next and I'm really excited, confident, and ready to go! The only topic that is looming out there for me is the Foley cath procedure. Poop, vomit, pee, blood, none of that really phases me (Im a mom of 3 young kids) b...
