    cinthern replied to STNA's topic in Ob/Gyn

  8. South Nassau Communities Hospital

    cinthern replied to wasup's topic in New York Nursing

    My orientation was wonderful. They kept me on days for 8 months. Then another 4 weeks on nights, although by then I pretty much had it under control. I don't know any place that would do that. I went...

    Hi everyone . . . I am a labor and delivery nurse, and have been doing this for close to 2 years now. I was hired by only 1 hospital when I graduated because I only wanted to do L&D, and nobody...

  15. Please help with MAJOR decision

    cinthern replied to cinthern's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks for all who responded. I am siding on staying put because I know there really is no IDEAL job, and what I have now is not that bad, it's tolerable, so why jeopardize that "safety net" for a few...

  19. Waiting for a call!!

    cinthern replied to jodyangel's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It is SO hard to get a position in L&D, so I say take it, because at least you are in, and see what happens from there. You NEVER know what can happen, but if you don't take the position now...

  20. Why do nurses eat their young?

    cinthern replied to cinthern's topic in Ob/Gyn

    OK, sorry I started the thread as such. I was just venting, but it was great to see both sides of the coin. Of course not ALL nurses are this way, it's a general phrase. I have heard it by new grads...

  21. Why do nurses eat their young?

    cinthern replied to cinthern's topic in Ob/Gyn

    OK, I took the part of jealousy out of there, poor words on my behalf. My bad, don't shoot me. I do need to acquire a hard shell if I am going to survive in this profession, and that is something I...

  23. Why do nurses eat their young?

    cinthern replied to cinthern's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks for responses, please keep them coming. I guess it also has to do with working with all women, and we all know how we can get at times. I LOVE what I do, I can't imagine doing anything else...

    cinthern posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    So I worked 3 nights in a row, to get them out of the way, and I have to say that I did survive, and that my worrying was really not that necessary. It wasn't too bad. First night was the worst, of...

    cinthern posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hi all, am starting the night shift tomorrow, and was wondering if this was a safe product to use, and if it is, how many mg. do you take, and when is the best time to take it? I am not a pill popper,...
