Curious what a reasonable utilization management caseload is per day? Thanks!

Would you consider PRN stepdown nursing? They see a lot in that area! OR is hard to find, especially as new grad.

How long did it take you to complete the class? Also, how much review did you do?

Any advice on how to prepare for pediatric nursing certification? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the replies. The opening was filled.

I am newer to this facility, so that's my hesitation. Also, means unlikely to get it. I know days tend to be busier, but the opportunity to apply for days is rare... My old facility would never announce day shift openings.

Worked nights for years. Debating applying for day shift. Thoughts? Days vs nights?

New unit does not have a med room. Just med machine in hall. This seems less than ideal for promoting safety. Thoughts?

Stepdown x a few years to postpartum.

How many shifts is normal for a new specialty orientation? (Not a new grad.)

COVID stalled some things. Thanks, though.

Deciding between a cross-trained LDRP (labor, delivery, recovery, and postpartum) unit or a postpartum unit. LDRP floats every 4 hours between L&D and postpartum as needed. Advice?

LDRP nurse (cross-trained and floats b/w PP and L&D as needed every 4 hours) vs postpartum nurse? Advice? Hard to make a decision. Thanks.

I now have an opportunity to do either a PP unit or a cross-trained LDRP (floats every 4 hours based on needs)! Any advice there? I’d eventually like to do pediatric or NICU.

Never worked OB. Now have to decide cross-trained LDRP unit vs PP unit. Any advice?

Anyone changed from night shift to day shift? ?

How did everything work out? I am in a similar situation. Hard decision.

Day vs night shift preference? Worked nights for years and thinking of days.

That's what I thought in terms of ER, but this was a postpartum floor that does nurse draws at a different place. I currently work step-down and do central draws only.

Do you have phlebotomists or do nurses draw the patient's blood? Current place only does nursing draws from central lines, but many other hospitals seem to do have just nurses draw blood. Looking into a new job and they do nurse draws only. Curious.

Similar COVID-related roadblock hit me earlier, too.

Any suggestions for a PP nursing interview? What do you like/dislike about PP nursing?

Thanks. Basically an opportunity fell through for LDRP at my current place due to COVID-related reasons. I work in a completely different specialty, though. I have an interview for PP elsewhere now.

Did you like PP or NICU more? Looking at PP and have adult step-down experience.

Thoughts on postpartum nursing? One hospital hires nurses to only 1 OB department (L&D or PP). At other hospitals, they have a single LDRP unit with cross-trained nurses. Any pros/cons of being assigned just to postpartum?
