  1. Experience limited-- was school nurse, alot of psy issues!

    KellNY replied to mariee's topic in Travel

    Most travel agencies want you to have at least 2 years recent hospital experience. Some will accept only 1 year. Look to go to a state where they don't hire a lot of LPNs in hospitals, so that you'll...

  2. What is "KVO" on your unit?

    KellNY posted a topic in General Nursing

    Here (antepartum) it's 30cc/hr. A M/S friend of mine said hers is 50cc/hr. What is it on your

  3. Dissapearing Aids... the norm?

    KellNY replied to APP's topic in General Nursing

    I work in a large teaching hospital and our CAs (clinical assistants...same thing) are rarely found on the floors helping the nurses. Damn CAs. I see em in the cafeteria though, too. Why is that? Are...

  4. Cert question

    KellNY replied to tprashad's topic in General Nursing

    Many hospitals employ CNAs (though they may "retrain" them--usually paid classroom and unit orientation where you practice old skills, learn some new ones, and learn the hospital policies). They may...

  5. L&D and PP - same or different floors?

    KellNY replied to shortstuff31117's topic in Ob/Gyn

    In the (large teaching) hospital I work at L&D and Maternity Urgent Care is on 8th floor, Mother Baby is on 9th, NICU on 8th (the opposite tower from L&D) and antepartum is on the 12th floor....

  6. Placenta Accreta...

    KellNY replied to shortstuff31117's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Can be treated with methotrexate, as mentioned by myself and another poster (or two?). If caught *very* early on, can be manually w/a D&C. But we're talking like, in the 1st days/weeks of the...

  7. Would nurses support MA licensure?

    KellNY replied to LorraineCNA's topic in General Nursing

    You're nationally licensed as an MA? There's no such license that I've heard of in the united states. Are you thinking of a certification or registration? Big diff. Lorraine, 1st I'd like to...

  8. Would nurses support MA licensure?

    KellNY replied to LorraineCNA's topic in General Nursing

    I personally wouldn't support it. I don't feel like the average MA does anything that would require being licensed. IMO, it would make medical assisting a harder job to obtain and maintain (I was an...

  9. Lunch Break

    KellNY replied to johnson0424's topic in General Nursing

    I 3rd my vote for luna bars (though I prefer the Smores, Peppermint stick and peanut butter cookie). also-- A small tupperware full of chickpeas w/a little house italian dressing Nuts (peanuts,...

  10. Clincials in nursing school

    KellNY replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    I'd just like to say that I am lusting after an 11a-11p position. Perfect! I could put DS on the bus, and be home in time to sleep like a human (as opposed to a vampire). I *love* 12 hour...

  11. Placenta Accreta...

    KellNY replied to shortstuff31117's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I can't imagine that they would have done that without the use of a chemotherapeutic agent like methotrexate (like a PP mentioned). I've seen two in my short OB career. First one, G3P1--hx nsvd...

  12. Long Island Nurses Please Read!

    KellNY replied to krisssy's topic in New York Nursing

    Stony Brook and Winthrop both hire new grads and returning RNs (correlation being that both usually need a real thorough orientation and an environment conducive to learning--ie an approachable staff,...
