  1. how much do you pay for your health ins.

    JaneyW replied to Zen123's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks Ashkins--I am doing well. I have had outstanding medical care and was lucky to find it early. Get your mammos

  2. how much do you pay for your health ins.

    JaneyW replied to Zen123's topic in General Nursing

    I am faculty at a public ADN program in CA. It's a unionized position. I pay nothing for my medical, but pay 100% of the premium for my family (about $800 a month!) for an HMO. That does not...

  3. Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer biases in Obstetric Nursing curricula

    JaneyW replied to chiandre's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    My original thought process in reaction to the OP was that I disagreed with the idea that education is the answer. That may not have been what the OP was saying, but what I thought was that it came...

  5. Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer biases in Obstetric Nursing curricula

    JaneyW replied to chiandre's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Wow! Thanks for the personal attack! I was basing my answer on the nurses quoted in the OP's post and not out of some deep personal bias against people of any particular religion. And to answer all...

  6. Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer biases in Obstetric Nursing curricula

    JaneyW replied to chiandre's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I agree that this needs to be addressed and encourage you in your research. I have to say, though, that I don't agree that it is always a matter of education. A nurse's religion may make it...

  7. A Short History of Anti-pathophysiologicalism

    JaneyW replied to jmqphd's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Pathophys is sooo cool! I am constantly telling my students that if you understand the physiology and pathophysiology on your patient you will not make mistakes because you will have a deeper...

  8. Hep B

    JaneyW replied to sheilav's topic in General Nursing

    Unless you are hiring pediatric employees, it is the Tdap. Do some homework. These vaccinations are really important for people working in healthcare. In CA, RNs can give immunizations...

  9. male labor and delivery nurses

    JaneyW replied to booluvstrains's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Michigan- I can see where you might feels this way. I have no problem with male L&D nurses, but there is another reason for having maternal child training for all nurses. You will sometimes have...

  10. Switching Careers-Any ABSN programs that allow pre-reqs to be taken after accepted?

    JaneyW replied to Engineer2Nurse?'s topic in General Nursing

    There is a reason those classes are prereqs--you will build on the knowledge gained from those courses from day one in nursing school. I teach nursing fundamentals and beginning pharmacology and you...

  11. Pinched Nerve causes stroke like symptoms?

    JaneyW replied to Weebee's topic in General Nursing

    I have had a pinched nerve in my neck (C5-6) that gave my weakness and loss of function in my arm for a while, but my leg was not affected. I have another issue in my lower bag where my leg is...

  12. just want to ask..

    JaneyW replied to malicexmirage's topic in General Nursing

    I am hearing from my students--current and former--that the 'foot in the door' of being a CNA or lab tech or unit secretary or whatever is extremely helpful in today's new grad job

  13. Thank you staff nurses!

    JaneyW posted a topic in General Nursing

    I think I've said this before here, but I would like to repeat a big thank you to all you staff nurses out there who work with student nurses sometimes. I know we invade your units and you have no...

  14. New RN very nervous about starting out in L&D

    JaneyW replied to lesliebeth1's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I started in L&D--it can be done! Be ready for a steep learning curve and a lot of fear and anxiety, but I don't think that is much different from other

  15. Student/instructor issue?

    JaneyW replied to rkitty198's topic in General Nursing

    I am an instructor in CA and the students don't fall under my license. They are responsible for their own behavior. I am responsible to supervise them adequately. So, if I know a particular student...

  16. MSN without BSN?

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

    I can't speak to what they are doing now. When you apply is really up to you. Do they have a prereq about work experience? Are you licensed? I know you have to be licensed. I think it would...

  17. MSN without BSN?

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

    Well, it worked pretty quickly for me at the time (Fall 2005). I started that spring. It took me until spring of 2009 to graduate going part time three semesters a year except for the summer of...

    JaneyW replied to HelenLouise's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks so much, RNINWCH, for the links to the articles. That is very

  19. WOW! Have things changed that much or did we have our signals crossed???

    JaneyW replied to ilmbg's topic in General Nursing

    The only time I have taken med tests for employment, I was given a drug book for reference. I would think, as others have said, that the important skill is to know how to find what you need in a...

  20. Edema.

    JaneyW replied to megananne7's topic in General Nursing

    There is a tightness to the skin--and maybe a shiny appearance that you don't have with obesity. I try to teach that to students, but i think it takes some time and experience to get good at

  21. Things about your workplace that make it nice to be there

    JaneyW replied to cerendipity, rn's topic in General Nursing

    Enough supplies and linens restocked regularly. A breakroom that has enough room to actually sit in. Enough chairs for visitors and staff. Enough pillows. Clean floors and

  22. what's the most deliveries you've done in a 12 hour shift?

    JaneyW replied to adpiRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I once had 4 working as registry where they had me do the deliveries and someone else came in to

  23. Advice for future Nursing Faculty

    JaneyW replied to LuBen's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I had the same thoughts back in my ADN program and am now teaching. Yes, as the other posters said, first you need some experience. You also need to love nursing because I think that comes through...

  24. Working nights with a family?

    JaneyW replied to scrubbee's topic in General Nursing

    I have worked per diem nights (1-2 12s a week) and liked it very much. My husband didn't love it but got used to it. My kids really didn't notice. The key is that your family must respect your...

  25. Precepting a role transition student

    JaneyW replied to NurseLatteDNP's topic in General Nursing

    The student's school should have definite guidelines that either the student or the instructor will give you. If you have the instructor's contact info, I would contact them and address your...
