I have been a nurse for 20 years now and I must say that in my experience bedside nursing is a step up from the other roles. I have been a nurse manager and worked in a clinic but my latest job on a mother/baby unit has been my most rewarding. I have...

I don't live in the KC area. I live in a rural town in Kansas but my son lives in Overland Park and I love visiting him. There is so much to do in that area. And if you stay off of I- 435 at rush hour it isn't too hard to drive in also.

Oh I feel for you. At first I thought you worked the same place I do until you started talking about the nursery which we don't have. I suggest you talk to other co-workers and if they feel the same as you then all of you go to the nurse manager abou...

At my hospital we treat with ampicillin. The ped doctors like us to get 2 doses in the mom before she delivers. GBS is more of a problem for the infant than mom. We keep the babies for 48 hours after delivery to observe for symptoms.Also we do blood ...

I get paid hourly. I work 12 hour shifts and get overtime after 80 hours in the 2 week payperiod.

I don't stay. I too already work 12 hour shifts and that is long enough for me.

In Kansas it is not in the LPN's scope of practice to do IV pushes

well this is a big secret so if it gets out I will have to hunt you down and hurt you but the schedule maker at my place lets me make my own schedule and give it to her. I have been there 20 years. But that is the only bennie I get for seniority.

Being a government hospital we don't do abortions. All deliveries, alive or deceased are done on L&D. I have had 1 patient miscarry in a postpartum bed. I was there to deliver the fetus. The OB doc was not responding to my pages,another topic all...

My hospital put out an offer today. My thoughts right now lean toward no way!!

I would love to attend the mother-baby one. Just wish there wasn't a week between it and the allnurses get-together. I can't justify with work staying over an extra week.

hmmm gonna have to run this by my union rep since Mr Bush is my boss. Sometimes it doesn't pay to have a government job.

oh that was so funny!!!

I have helped with many a blood patch. Our anesthesia staff will use the floor staff because they are actually doing it at the patient's bed. Why bring OR staff?

so cute!! I needed that laugh.:)

I like the idea of leaving it in the pocket of your scrubs to go thru the laundry. At my hospital we wear these tracking badges so they can hunt us down whenever they want to.

I work postpartum/L&D and have NRP which is required and PALS.

thanks very much both of you. :)

Wait a minute! what was just said?? I totally think that is rude when people speak a foreign language around you,leaving you completely out.

way back when I finished nursing school I signed a contract to work at a hospital and they paid 1 year of student loans for each year I worked. Alot of hospitals may do that now. YOu just have to check into it.

I sure hope you are coming to Vegas. Bring your gear with you! We will need pedicures after a day of walking the strip!

give me a pina colada please

I have never used anything smaller than a 24g.sorry
