Hi everyone, I just got a new job working as a fertility nurse for a fertility clinic. This is a new area for me as all my experience has been in hospice and palliative care. I was wondering if anyone has any experience infertility nursing and how is the learning curve. What are the common tasks and learning objectives that they do daily in this job?

This may be a silly question but does WGU offer a NP program as well? I understand they have the MSN leadership/management degree but what if I want to be a NP?

Hello again. Thank you for the suggestions. Follow up questions I had were : 1. For the online MS nursing, is there clincials/practicum that needs to be completed? If so, how does that work with online programs? 2.Does WGU accept students for the spring?

Hello Nurses! I have a BSN in Nursing and am looking to go to the next level and get my Masters in Nursing. I wanted to know what are some legitimate online Masters in Nursing programs that are accredited. It would also be great to know the pros and cons of doing a online masters in nursing program from those who have done it previously. Thank you in advance ?

yes but my licensing analyst said due to confidentiality he can not look at her file.

No question is ever stupid. I worked in the community setting and often did routine catheter changes. I always found them tricky if the patient had a empty bladder. I often would ask my patient to drink a glass or two of water prior to the catheter change. I also would try to palpate the bladder if I did the catheter change and no urine has returned. This often helps with the urine flow. Lastly I always flushed the catheter and ensured it flushed with no problem and no pain. Also after inserting the catheter I would have the patient walk around for 5–10 mins, often this would help to see if any urine would return. I also felt uneasy and did not like it if there was no urine return because it always questioned me if I was in the right spot. Lastly patient education about returning to the ER, MD etc if no urime return would be a safe bet and just run it by the doctor as well and see if they have any other suggestions.

In other words. I am a Canadian RN graduate. I wrote the NCLEX and have applied to the CA BON. A fellow classmate did the exact same degree as me and is registered with the CA BON. I received a letter indicating I was deficient in clinical hours for peds/obstetrics. I took 80 hours of clinical in each of them. My class mate has the exact same amount of hours in them as me and was accepted and licensed by the CA BON. How do I appeal this decisions

Yes they said I am deficient for clinical hours in Obstetrics and Pediatrics. I did contact my school to get more information to send to the CA board. Does anyone know if Community Clinical counts toward clinical hour requirements for the CA board?

Thank you. That is exactly what I did. Does anyone know if the CA BON considers Community Clinical toward clinical hours requirement ?

It was clinical hours in Obstetrics and Pediatrics. The other classmate had the same exact hours as me.

Hi. Is anyone familiar with a situation where the Californa Board of Nursing approves someone from your graduating class with the same exact coursework as you but ends up declining you due to some deficiencies? I am sort of in this situation and want some advice. How can I fight back against the CA BON?

What is your role in the insurance company?

What is your role in this insurance company?

What school did you graduate from in Canada? Thanks for giving me hope that the process isnt TOO TOO bad. I will get my SSN in California after I move.
