  1. What specialty do you want and not want to work in?

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    Then PLEASE PLEASE DO go into L&D! L&D needs more healthcare professionals/advocates like you! I gave birth to my son in a horrible hospital in a horrible po-dunk town (and had a horrible...

  2. Curious About Drop-out Rate In Nursing School

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to CeilingCat's topic in General Students

    We started with about 100 and lost about 13 last year, but I believe a lot of them have the chance to retake a course and continue with a different

  3. PPH and REDHEADS?

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to rtadpole's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm bringing this up again because I, too, am trying to find any real-life research on this topic. I didn't believe this wives tale at all, planned for an all-natural birth, ended up with PPH and an...

  4. Travel Nursing in NYC

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to Erica_B's topic in New York Nursing

    Actually, maybe. Maybe not. But probably. You have to consider the fact that if you were making the same in salary, it would be taxed to hell and back before you pay rent. I don't know how if...

  5. Travel Nursing in NYC

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to Erica_B's topic in New York Nursing

    In my mind, that much housing allowance is a really good deal. Maybe I should look into a travel job instead of a hospital. They don't do medical insurance, though, right? Hmmm. . .that might not...

  6. I want to move to NYC after I graduate

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to myrose's topic in New York Nursing

    Oh, for the love of god. Yes, it's expensive to live in New York, as I'm sure the OP knows. But PLENTY of people (with CHILDREN, even!) live in New York and other major cities on far less than an...

  7. Name the hospital and its Starting Salary!!!

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to amadime1's topic in New York Nursing

    If everyone made 40-50 an hour to start in California, we'd all be there. So are hospitals in New York actually HIRING new grads? What about with 2 years experience? Because I am thinking about...

  9. MSN without BSN?

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to mekia_sb's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    University of Pittsburgh "on an individual basis." There are a lot of online ones I think. The Frontier School of Midwifery and Family Nursing. Indiana State

  10. some truths about CNM salaries and benefits

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to epiphany's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    This is all kind of sad. I wanted to work as a FNP until my son gets older, then get my CNM. But it seems it will be a

  11. Is there a reason why most CNMs don't do homebirths?

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to klone's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    It's not legal in my state. . .incidentally, I've asked two "more progressive" family medicine MDs I know if they'd consider attending a homebirth if I have another child (they both do housecalls for...

  13. Help me become a lactation counselor!

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to SuperStudentNurse's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't be so sure. I delivered in a pretty backward town and the nurses were pretty supportive of breastfeeding on the maternity floor. One of the docs, however, was trying to get me to...

  14. I *do* recognize the need for nursing theory

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to carachel2's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I haven't studied a lot of theory that I've found worthwhile (yet); but are you *really* stating that because something isn't readily understandable that it's a waste of time? Perhaps nursing theory...

  15. Any other new grads considering a PhD?

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to Joe NightingMale's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Me too, possibly, though I'm thinking of exploring an MPH first and deciding from there whether the public health side or nursing side will be my end

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to labrador4122's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm planning to but I can't offer much to this thread; there are a few threads already if you do a search for

  17. What to do before applying to NP school

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to katiemarie22's topic in Post Graduate Students

    PA is a different animal--they typically require a lot less formal education, a lot more work experience. Usually. I've seen some PA schools that don't require a lot of work experience prior to...

  18. subjective versus objective data

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to RNstudentc/o2010's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You can either paraphrase or direct quote him, but A is wrong because you can't just paraphrase and put it in quotes as if it's a direct

  19. UPMC Shadyside School of Nursing '09'

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to kellyjo1414's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Oh, I take back what I said about parking: The city is starting to be ******** and ticketing like crazy around

  20. UPMC Shadyside School of Nursing '09'

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to kellyjo1414's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Oh, and they have petite pants; i needed them too. You might have to hem them a bit; they only really fit me if I wear Danskos (I'm 5'1 but Danskos give me a few

  21. UPMC Shadyside School of Nursing '09'

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to kellyjo1414's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    You won't need scrubs until your second semester. They come and fit you for them at the end of nursing 100, and they're super anal about the brand and they embroider the school logo on the sleeve....

  22. Nurses Going to Med School

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to freakjojo06's topic in General Students

    When I meet a physician who can write a paragraph that I don't have to edit and rewrite for them, things will get REALLY interesting. .

  23. Nurses Going to Med School

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to freakjojo06's topic in General Students

  24. Need advice - Is it good to work as a CNA while in Nursing School?

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to MiahMSN's topic in General Students

    You will learn way more as a CNA than you will in school:) Try to get a casual position. There is no way in hell you're going to be able to work much during a program like that. Believe me. I work,...

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to breezy2gorgeous's topic in Texas Nursing

    Wow. . .I can't believe an LVN wouldn't be allowed to draw blood anywhere. I'm a lowly Patient Care Tech in Pennsylvania and I'M allowed to draw
