  1. IHS -- Chinle, Shiprock, &c

    Selke replied to Selke's topic in Travel

    Shiprock does have an ICU, and a med/surg unit, a peds, an ER, a NICU, postpartum, and OB. Note I said "a" med/surg unit ... there is one. The NICU is the "nursery" for L&D -- they staff it with...

  2. IHS -- Chinle, Shiprock, &c

    Selke replied to Selke's topic in Travel

    Hey bagladyrn -- we've emailed from Delphi Forums. You're right about staffing in L&D at Shiprock. I do like it here but they have 3 - 4 RNs (1 for PP, 1 for nursery, 1 for L&D, 1 charge,...

  3. IHS -- Chinle, Shiprock, &c

    Selke replied to Selke's topic in Travel

    Which area of nursing do you work, cbkeys? I took a job with Anderson and Bates at Shiprock L&D and have been here 2 weeks. I really like it and may extend my contract. I'm learning sooo much,...

  4. Direct Entry Midwifery Programs...

    Selke replied to LAW79's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm not surprised in the least at what you said about the clinical placements at UIC ... it's true birth centers are illegal in IL, sadly, although there are homebirth practices. Last spring I met a...

  5. Theory is going to kill me!

    Selke replied to Chopper's topic in Post Graduate Students

    "Going with the flow" is a probably a theory in itself!

  6. Direct Entry Midwifery Programs...

    Selke replied to LAW79's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Why are you thinking of transferring? Are you at UIC? They have a great program (if I had any sense I would have accepted their admissions offer a year ago ....) What does your program not have...

  7. organization of articles tips?

    Selke posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    This may seem like a strange question, but as I'm sorting through stacks of articles I have and will need in the future, I am trying to figure out a good way to organize and store them so that I can...

  8. looking for online MSN/FNP program

    Selke replied to nakida20's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Distance Learning/Independent Study Forum: http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/ele...es/nur_reg.htm This link did not work for me. Can you repost?

  9. looking for online MSN/FNP program

    Selke replied to nakida20's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Frontier has a distance FNP

  10. NP w/no desire for RN?

    Selke replied to Pinoy2.0's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    :yeahthat: Ditto for CNM programs -- basic intrapartum skills, like reading and interpreting fetal monitoring, labor management, nursing skills like IV, caths, VEs, medication titration, assessment...

  11. Frontier Interview!!

    Selke replied to purplegoose's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Good luck with your interview. Frontier is an amazing place and FB is great -- like summer camp for mostly middle aged nurses, so I'm in school heaven. My class is the largest they've ever had here....

  12. Did I overreact or underreact?

    Selke replied to eden's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Doesn't sound like you did anything wrong. That kid would have kept decelling with a triple nuchal cord .... Do you have a union at your hospital? I hope so -- you need a rep. If not, is there...

  13. Did I overreact or underreact?

    Selke replied to eden's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Something doesn't smell right here. Was the pt contracting when the decel occurred? If so, what was the relation of the decel to the UC? What did the tracing look like prior to this? Was an AFI...

  14. hot packs to sternum for post partum shaking?

    Selke replied to MIA-RN1's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Because the shakes aren't caused by the pt's being cold -- their temps will be normal and they will tell you they aren't cold and the blankets don't work. I don't have reference materials with me...

  15. An actual 1955 Good Housekeeping article

    Selke replied to MuddaMia's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, it sounded like that book "Fascinating Womanhood" that came out in the 1970's, as the Snopes website hinted at. The "surrendered wife" is the more recent update of this genre. There were a few...

  16. hot packs to sternum for post partum shaking?

    Selke replied to MIA-RN1's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Were her shakes from decrease in body temperature, in which case warm blankets or warm pack or Bair Hugger would bring her temp back up to normal and stop the shakes? Or were they a response to...

  17. NP w/no desire for RN?

    Selke replied to Pinoy2.0's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    To give a slightly different perspective on this whole issue, there are a good number of RNs who are resentful of, or threatened by, ANY nurse, no matter how experienced or inexperienced, who returns...

  18. Shiprock Hospital, anesthesia

    Selke replied to nilepoc's topic in General Nursing

    I can't speak to the OP's exact topic but am going to Shiprock in Sept. for my first travel assignment in L&D and am excited about it. It's a shorter term assignment while I start my distance...

  19. Residencies

    Selke replied to jer_sd's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This is an important issue. Couldn't another option be to add clinical hours to APRN education? If the student, about to graduate, cannot find a residency program and she feels she needs more...

  20. Disabled RN looking for job

    Selke replied to LisaRNinarkansas's topic in General Nursing

    Take a look at http://www.exceptionalnurse.com/ a website for the disabled wanting to become nurses, and for disabled nurses. It might be a useful resource in addition to the excellent suggestions...

  21. new traveller, contract questions

    Selke posted a topic in Travel

    I'm new to this travel nurse thing. I got a copy via email of a tentative contract (Access Nurses) which I am wondering if these things are typical in a contract -- I'm assuming they are but want to...

  22. IHS -- Chinle, Shiprock, &c

    Selke replied to Selke's topic in Travel

    Hey texascowgirl, I noticed you say you're a misplaced Texan. Where are you living now? I grew up in

  23. IHS -- Chinle, Shiprock, &c

    Selke replied to Selke's topic in Travel

    Yes, I'm an RN completing an MSN/CNM with FNS. So I'll be studying on my days off and would like the gorgeous solitude of the high desert for a few weeks :) . I had not looked at the A&B...

  24. tuition reimbursement?

    Selke posted a topic in Government, Military

    I'm a newbie to health care in the armed forces, but have heard over the years that they will pay your way through graduate school, and that the conditions are much better for health care...

  25. tuition reimbursement?

    Selke replied to Selke's topic in Government, Military

    Thanks for the reply. I'm a newbie to the armed forces. I am a nurse and am looking at alternative ways to finance my graduate school education other than loans, of which I can't get enough of to...
