Welcome aboard, Marilyn.This is the best site to talk with other nurses. There are also a lot of Nurses aides, nsg students, a few medical students, Emts, Paramedics. I have looked for other websites involving nursing chatrooms. None of them are as easy to use as this one. Look forward to talking with you.

welcome to allnurses!

Welcome!

Hi,

My name is Marilyn, and I am new to this discussion board.

A little history about myself. I've been a nurse for 24 years, (boy do I feel old, although the average age of a nurse is 44 years old right now!). I spent the first 5 years of my career as a mother/baby nurse, the next next 12 years as a labor and delivery nurse, and the last 7 years as the Clinical Nurse Educator for the Obstetric unit at our hosptial. So I very much keep my hands in the patient care pot on the unit, as well as write policies, develop competencies, help prepare for JCAHO, present inservices etc. I work at a Community based hospital with an average of 2,000 deliveries per year, many of them high risk.

I have really enjoyed reading many of threads on this board, all of you are such a wealth of information! I hope I am able to contribute something meaningful.

Take care,

Marilyn
