1. New Grads path to L&D

   Ilikeletters replied to Ella2598's topic in Ob/Gyn

   If L&D is your passion, absolutely pursue it! I did my preceptorship in L&D at the hospital I wanted to work at, and got a job there as a new grad. So happy that I followed my heart!

2. SOS, need Joint Commission advice

   Ilikeletters replied to ReadytoretireOBnurse's topic in Ob/Gyn

   We have a policy that tables can be made for patients at 6cm and moved to their rooms. We always have at least one table set up in the OR hallway except for when JCO is around. They are fine with the 6cm in room policy.

3. ABSN Adequately prepared?

   Ilikeletters replied to jj16's topic in General Nursing

   I can't speak to the quality of education, but are you SURE that you can do the schedule of the ABSN? I only had 3 kids in nursing school, but even having one there was NO WAY that I could have done the ABSN. We have 2 local ABSN programs and they ...

   Ilikeletters replied to jalilly's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Preceptorship! Having people that you worked with that can advocate for you is invaluable.

5. Any new grad moms out there?

   Ilikeletters replied to Alexx_xox's topic in New Nurse

   I have three kids and they are adjusting just fine so far. I've been home with them all since they were born (youngest is 5) other than nursing school which was just 1.5 days a week. I thought it was going to be much harder than it was. I feel sli...

6. FHT charting

   Ilikeletters replied to LaborRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

   We chart any decels since the last charting - even if it was at 6:01 and is perfect after that. Your "absent" isn't defendable in court.

7. Observant Jew Cannot Work Saturday Shifts

   Ilikeletters replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nurse Beth

   This, exactly. There are many RN jobs that don't require working Saturdays - you need to find a job where the requirements meet your needs even if the job doesn't fulfill your wants. Prioritization - needs over wants.

   We just had to update the ISP with the actual number of hours spent on each item and the date completed.

9. Grand Canyon University RN to BSN Reviews

   Ilikeletters replied to Flames9_RN's topic in School Programs

   I graduated in October but as far as I'm aware grades have to be posted within 7 days of the turn in date. So I'd definitely look into it.

10. Grand Canyon University RN to BSN Reviews

    Ilikeletters replied to Flames9_RN's topic in School Programs

    I had to take 10 total. I wasn't allowed to take my Capstone until everything else was done.

11. Grand Canyon University RN to BSN Reviews

    Ilikeletters replied to Flames9_RN's topic in School Programs

    It's very basic. Just read the directions and do exactly that. There isn't a wrong answer, you just have to make sure you include each of the objectives at least once.

    DONE ? Thanks!

13. Grand Canyon RN-BSN

    Ilikeletters replied to tokmom's topic in Online Learning

    I just wanted to update now that I have finished the [new] 10 week Capstone... at the beginning of the Capstone all I could think reading through it all was ***** I called the professor, she clarified a couple of things, and I decided just to take ...

14. Grand Canyon RN-BSN

    Ilikeletters replied to tokmom's topic in Online Learning

    I had the list but never ended up with anyone on it (good or bad). You basically just have to take the first grading assignment as an indicator of what's important to the instructor. I had one that APA was of utmost importance, one that PP format w...

15. GCU RN to BSN capstone course

    Ilikeletters replied to aspiringrn1987's topic in Online Learning

    I didn't find the Mentor/Site Affiliation to be awful. I don't currently work, so I asked someone where I plan to work next year to be my mentor. I had to get her resume and provide a copy of her license and she had to sign something. From there, ...
