  1. Jobs In Newyork

    KellNY replied to ekiosaghae's topic in New York Nursing

    No, it doesn't really go without saying, because while we might not recomend Southampton Hospital, the poster-who doesn't seem to know much about the area--may find a posting on Monster dotcom or some...

  2. California RN visiting NYC - Would like help planning my trip please :)

    KellNY replied to CaliRN29's topic in New York Nursing

    Kait--Well, it seems that weather right now is unseasonably warm (even with this "cold front" we've been having, warmer than usual). March is usually okay as far as weather goes-we go into NYC every...

  3. Jobs In Newyork

    KellNY replied to ekiosaghae's topic in New York Nursing

    Whoa--I wouldn't say that you're moving to NYC, but that "long Island will be fine", because there are parts of long island that will be about a 3-4 hour drive to NYC. So unless you're willing to...

  4. California RN visiting NYC - Would like help planning my trip please :)

    KellNY replied to CaliRN29's topic in New York Nursing

    Well, if you want to be near Broadway, Times Square, etc, I'd stay away from the Seaport area, it's way too far to walk, and you'd need to take I think 2 different subway lines to get there. Cabs are...

  5. "temping" as a nurse in nyc

    KellNY replied to shhh's topic in New York Nursing

    Most agencies (all in NY that I know of) won't even look at you without having AT LEAST one year bedside experience (and that's the shoddier agency--the reputable want at least 2-3 years experience)....

  6. help me

    KellNY replied to lcarey's topic in General Nursing

    Certified Nurses

  7. Question..

    KellNY replied to lynn123's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm not 100% sure I understand your question, but... A patient will most likely write down what s/he is drinking. If unable, you'll need to keep track of how much juice/h2o/jello/etc you give them...

  8. piercings at work

    KellNY replied to iamcool's topic in General Nursing

    As far as piercings go, after a relatively short time they can be taken out. If I were to go to an interview, I'd probably take my nose ring out. No big deal. Once healed, you can take out the...

  9. Somalian patients

    KellNY replied to Zhlake's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Again, there is a difference between cultural practices and RELGIOUS LAW. What may be an inconvenience to the RN (having to switch patients, take time to get a female doctor, etc) can mean the...

  10. piercings at work

    KellNY replied to iamcool's topic in General Nursing

    That's cute, especially given your screen name.I have my ears pierced (one hole each), but rarely wear earings. I also have my nose pierced (right nostril) with a small blue stud. No one's ever said...

  11. help with psyche med

    KellNY replied to melanie1126's topic in General Nursing

    I was thinking that. Did the genius write 15.0 and the decimal got missed? What did pharmacy say/do?

  12. New RN Grad

    KellNY replied to babyphat's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Oh, and

  13. New RN Grad

    KellNY replied to babyphat's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My hospital does not hire new grads for L&D. it's more difficult for everyone because not only does s/he have no experience as a nurse, she's also new to the hospital (forms, proceduree,...

  14. Is there a difference b/w a Obstetrics nurse and Laborand Delivery Nurse?

    KellNY replied to AussieKylie's topic in Ob/Gyn

    "OB nurse" is a very catch all phrase. I do high risk OB and I consider myself to be an OB nurse. I've done L&D and would lump myself in there too. Some hospitals float you from postpartum, to...

  15. what are some of your activities in nursing club?

    KellNY replied to RNmom08's topic in General Students

    I'm out of school now, but here's some things we did in mine: ~Participated at local "fairs" doing a project either for extra credit or as part of a class, or just for the experience. IE-Local HS...

  16. responsibilty

    KellNY replied to sweetface18's topic in General Nursing

    Relatively speaking, or

  17. Somalian patients

    KellNY replied to Zhlake's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Do you have any proof that it's considered low class in "Arab" countries to be a nurse? Because I've found that my "Arab" pts have been some of the kindest. Also, I disagree that it's discriminatory...

  18. Cpd???

    KellNY replied to nurse79's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm thinking that she just wasn't in real labor. Even if she were "term" (and there's a good chance that dates are off), I think her body or her baby just weren't ready. Did anyone get her up to walk...

  19. Somalian patients

    KellNY replied to Zhlake's topic in Ob/Gyn

    There are a great deal of people who view male circumcision as mutilation as well. By definition, it is. But that's OT. Semantics,

  20. help me

    KellNY replied to lcarey's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry--what's a STNA? Many places offer home health aid "courses" for free. Be aware though, my sister makes more money per hour at McDonalds as a crew chief than most HHA's I've talked to. Sad,...

  21. responsibilty

    KellNY replied to sweetface18's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, it's worth it, or no one in their right mind would be doing it. Most of those things are very much common sense. Pharmacy--why wouldn't you check to make sure that they did indeed send up...

  22. Cpd???

    KellNY replied to nurse79's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If she wasn't fully dilated, then really it seems more an issue of FTP (failure to progress) than CPD. Both issues are often bogus, to throw my opinion out there. Here it would depend. As long as...

  23. pt husband keeps moving the toco!

    KellNY replied to lannisz's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Tell him how much it costs if it breaks while he's touching

  24. OB T-shirt slogans?

    KellNY replied to JoniL&DRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    hahaha, yeah, and normal healthy pregnancies if the mother feels comfortable. We can support and encourage without putting down other's choices. It is possible, and will get you

  25. Can or do LPN's teach?

    KellNY replied to para's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Additional training was a joke--after teaching for a year, we had a 6 hour course on something...don't even remember. But New York State did require that I become a certified private school teacher...
