    lovemyjob replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    After reading through this post, I am amazed at the similar attitudes of some (not all) of those chiming in saying they are medics. I can see why the OP had "knee-jerk reaction" to the offensive "I am...

  8. OB in the ED

    lovemyjob replied to Sugar9486's topic in Emergency

    So mom can take care of the shoulder dystocia while the caregiver stands to the side with a warm blanket......to assist. I can see why someone who has little experience with OB could be very anxious...

  9. Average hourly pay for per diem agency RN?

    lovemyjob replied to CowsRGreat's topic in Agency Nurses

    For the person asking about atlanta, agency PRN is 36/hr at nursefinders. Not sure about OT. If it is 36 in atlanta, I can only imagine that 36 in LA is a total rip-off. Cost of living is too high...

  15. Circ on a 2yr old?

    lovemyjob replied to Danianne's topic in Pediatric

    I did vear from the OP's question and I apoligize for that. I was more so addressing the post stating that it was just a little skin and how bad could it be. Years ago, they did surgeries on...

  17. NCC Neonatal Intensive Care Nursing Certification

    lovemyjob replied to jack4408's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    A better book to get is the core curriculum for neonatal intensive care review book. Get the one with the questions in it. The regular core curriculum book doesnt really have rationales. The review...

    lovemyjob replied to ncriverrat's topic in General Nursing

  22. nurses getting consents signed?

    lovemyjob replied to ncriverrat's topic in General Nursing

    but, in that situation, you are putting yourself in a position to be determining if the patient is in full consent to the procedure. But, when you sign the form, you are only witnessing a signature,...

  23. nurses getting consents signed?

    lovemyjob replied to ncriverrat's topic in General Nursing

    you are witnessing their signature, but you are also having them sign saying they understand the risks/benefit. A little old lady who is asked to sign a consent signs it b/c she thinks she is suppose...
