  1. Sexual Victimization in Indian Country

    Selke replied to Thunderwolf's topic in General Nursing

    Is that IHS physician NA or white? Would she apply her "approach" to any and all women subjected to DV? Or just NA? Those statements are unbelievable and highly inappropriate for a so-called health...

  2. Interesting Article

    Selke replied to Elvish's topic in Ob/Gyn

    "Hazardous waste?" What's the problem with these hospitals trying to maintain control of very least little thing they can get their claws into? The placenta and tissues are as hazardous as the baby...

  3. As nurses are we just Trained well behavedMonkeys

    Selke replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    This is a great idea, but it seems it would only work in an institution where you did not have a predominate regressive nursing culture like the OP is working in. She might not find enough other RNs...

    Selke replied to docchui's topic in Travel

    Wishing you the best of luck! Part of the fun of travel nursing is the opportunity to make new

  5. Any nurses also doulas?

    Selke replied to Almabella's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I should have added that perhaps you could get permission to hold inservices on your L&D floor to teach the other RNs about doulas, and actual hands-on doula skills. I worked at a hospital once,...

  6. new to travel nrsng to santa barbara

    Selke replied to docchui's topic in Travel

    Um, you'd better get used to being in a place where you don't know anybody if you do travel nursing. It comes with the territory. You might get more information at the Delphi forums Travel Nurse...

  7. L&D books

    Selke replied to mer_RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Oh man, ONLY 8 weeks orientation? That's NOT enough if you've never worked L&D before. Oh dear. What kind of clinical nurse specialist or training person/program does the hospital have? (Do...

  8. Any nurses also doulas?

    Selke replied to Almabella's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Doula skills -- labor support -- are invaluable and every L&D nurse should have them. The labor support approach to IP care is spotty and inconsistent, SO dependent on the culture of your...

  9. What to do with this kind of patient?

    Selke replied to shortstuff31117's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hmmm ... prime, term, 3-4 cms, excruciating pain? I'm surprised she wasn't admitted and offered pain relief, if for no other reason to calm her down. Morphine sulfate or ambien to try to get her to...

  10. How to tell a drug rep to shut up?

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

    My program is teaching us to take into account how the patient is paying for their health care and their drugs when prescribing. Very smart. Generics are the way to go, except for the rare...

  11. travel to CA

    Selke replied to momofsix's topic in Travel

    The central coast is beautiful. It's rural and small town, but in the unique way coastal CA can be with beautiful rolling hills, Pacific Ocean, vineyards, strawberry fields, Oaxacan migrant workers...

  13. Is this right wage in mountain view,CA?

    Selke replied to Leonidaskun's topic in Travel

    I've been travelling for nearly a year now and am presently on my second assignment in California. I also worked staff in SFBA and talked to lots of travel RNs about what they made. That wage you...

  15. Why do doctors get to play by different rules?

    Selke replied to asilmk's topic in General Nursing

    :yeahthat: :wakeneo: This mentality that MDs generate revenue and are the primary clients of hospital corporations -- NOT RNs, other staff, even patients -- enable them to not only not be bound by...

  16. Update......Thanks to all of you who have given me the courage to continue on!!

  17. Flip, Turn, Crush & Smear

    Selke replied to sam027000's topic in General Nursing

    To the OP: maybe you have a future as a critical care nurse, ER nurse, or labor nurse. Or you will return to school to become an NP or PA. If you follow the latter path, you won't have to deal with...

  18. Whats with the scrubs?

    Selke replied to scattycarrot's topic in General Nursing

    Just don't let Stacy and Clinton of "What Not To Wear" see y'all out in your scrubs :rotfl: (I have actually wondered what fashion advice they'd give nurses on how to dress for patient

  20. Difference between CNM and NMW?

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

    NMW = Nurse Mid Wife CNM = Certified Nurse Midwife Same thing, only "CNM" is the "official" designation for an individual licensed through the ACMB (or whatever else calls it these days), which is the...

  21. Frontier ADN-MSN

    Selke replied to mona b RN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Frontier has a very diverse group of students: all ages, genders, socioeconomic classes, rural, city, conservative, liberal, and all of us are nurses. It's very egalitarian. I was so happy to not be...

  23. Traveling Companies that hire new grads?

    Selke replied to BROOK9960's topic in Travel

    OK, I must have miscommunicated here, poor choice of words in using "get out of Dodge." This phrase wasn't meant to be the focus of what I said. Many people like the idea of traveling around when...

  24. Traveling Companies that hire new grads?

    Selke replied to BROOK9960's topic in Travel

    You must be proficient in your field before you can get hired by a travel agency. This has been said multiple times on these boards. You are not at a travel assignment in order to be precepted and...

  25. Physicians and Labor Support

    Selke replied to May_baby's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The doc can't tell you who you can and can't have in the labor room! Against the law and hospital policy! Just be there and do your doula thing, don't tell anybody that you are a doula, tell them...
