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

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.
