  1. It’s not all sunshine and rainbows when you’re a labor and delivery nurse.

    Just-floored replied to Lampritl's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Well said. It isn't always the best job in the world but many days it

  2. I'm starting to feel like I'm dying on the inside

    Just-floored replied to sadmurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Ok, if you have only been working since October then I really think you need to give it time. There is always something to be done and not enough time no matter what floor or population you work...

  3. Bully CNA, not sure how to fix this

    Just-floored replied to 2018nurseandbeyond's topic in First Year After Licensure

    So this definitely needs to be addressed. First if she isn't getting her tasks done and you are writing up a list make sure you also write up one for yourself and then you can document what isn't...

  4. Nurses 'Eat their Young?'

    Just-floored replied to HMendee's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am a preceptor quite frequently and also still remember what it felt like to be new. It is hard. When I first started precepting I did my best to make it so my orientees did not feel the...

  5. How do I become stronger clinically?

    Just-floored replied to alexamasan's topic in General Nursing

    Every time I come across something new I research it. For me it helps to understand the pathophysiology of a condition because it will point you in the direction of what really is important to assess...

  6. Nurse Gives Lethal Dose of Vecuronium Instead of Versed

    Just-floored replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    The nurse who administered it did not even document it. Hard for the system to have checks and balances when the system is

  7. Scared.....No Nursing?

    Just-floored replied to Name9335's topic in General Nursing

    That is a starting place then. Any time I need to call the physician and notify them of something I will do an assessment, run through what could be causing the problem and be ready to answer their...

  8. Ratios

    Just-floored posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Does anyone work at a facility that pairs you two labors to one nurse until complete? The system I'm in is making a change to this and it seems unsafe to me. Currently we are two early labors to one...

  9. Too old for OB?

    Just-floored replied to TinyDancer01's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm almost 50 too and feel that some days I run circles around the younger nurses. Give it a shot, you won't know til you

  10. OB Education??

    Just-floored replied to emily1984's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We have done an emergent C-section drill along with the ones you have mentioned. I would also suggest maybe reviewing hypertensive crisis, cord prolapse and uterine

  11. Advice please

    Just-floored replied to ert01479's topic in General Nursing

    First of all given yourself a break and realize that this has nothing to do with being a good nurse or not. You need some training and that is to be expected if you have never needed the skills...

  12. What Does A Graduate Nurse Do?

    Just-floored replied to Future-NurseRedHeart's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I totally agree with others who say to take the NCLEX right away. You get out of the flow of NCLEX type questions. We were strongly encourage to take it right away and my school had a 98-100% pass...

  13. Almost to the 1yr mark.....

    Just-floored replied to RN44's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yeah one year survived and it sounds like you are doing great and have made some good self-care choices to help prevent some soul sucking. If you work a 12 hour day you will feel tired by the end no...

  14. Feeling lost in my career...need advice!

    Just-floored replied to Nursey3239's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Well if it was me and I was planning on returning to school I would want to stay in the mellow predictable job if it works. That being said could you just try out a mother baby unit as a per diem....

  15. need advice: new RN with doubts

    Just-floored replied to newRN02's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I really love working Thanksgiving also. We usually celebrate it at home a week before or after. It is great because the grocery store isn't a mad house when the shopping needs to get done. The...

  16. How do you get through the first weeks on your own?

    Just-floored replied to coffee&scrubs's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Xanex! It is super hard the first year or so. Find someone you trust to ask questions when they arise. On my unit we all bounce ideas off each other and it is great for learning. I hope you are in...

  17. Preparing for RN program

    Just-floored replied to TexBSNRN20's topic in General Students

    Honestly I would use this time to relax because there will be very little of that going on once school starts. Maybe get your house super clean if that is your thing. Maybe get your freezer stocked...

  18. Feeling discouraged in Nursing school.

    Just-floored replied to NurseBae12202019's topic in General Students

    Just take a minute and breathe. First of all don't listen to those bragging about how great they are doing because there are areas they are likely struggling in but they won't brag about that....

  19. Postpartum Nurses being the Baby Nurse?

    Just-floored replied to holmesln's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I work at a baby friendly LDRP and all of our nurses are both labor and postpartum trained. As the labor nurse I will do all the care for baby and mother including the admission and assessments. We...

  20. New Grad Seeking OB Nursing Advice

    Just-floored replied to Dosborne's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Oh so many questions. Get to know how to read your fetal heart race tracing and what types of tracings are indicative of fetal distress. That is the biggest indicator of how baby is tolerating its...

    Just-floored replied to Alexisanne293's topic in General Nursing

  22. Do you recover c-sections under general?

    Just-floored replied to Pipsy's topic in PACU

    On my L&D unit we circulate for our c-sections unless the floor is just crazy busy and we don't have the staff. I like it because if my baby crumps following the section I have another NRP...

  23. New grad nurse wondering if I made a mistake choosing this career

    Just-floored replied to ddrn97's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Give it more time. Most new grads don't really start feeling like they have their feet under them for 6-12 months. If you can, find a mentor to discuss your challenges with. In the beginning too it...

  24. Do you recover c-sections under general?

    Just-floored replied to Pipsy's topic in PACU

    I'm an L/D nurse and we recover our c-sections that have a spinal or epidural block but for general anesthesia the PACU nurses recover them. I'm not sure of the rationale because I am unfamiliar with...

  25. Ratios

    Just-floored replied to Just-floored's topic in Ob/Gyn
