  1. per nsg judgement...?

    JaneyW replied to Fancy Face's topic in General Nursing

    You guys are giving me a good review of med surg! I work in L&D and we often give Nifedipine for pre term labor control (as a tocolytic). So, I have a healthy young woman who is pregnant and...

  2. Bad day yesterday

    JaneyW replied to obtech2nurse's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am also really sorry you had such a bad day. It sounds like your manager needs to spend some time getting her unit to work as a team! It is very difficult to be on your own in OB--I would say...

  3. Anyone out there with student loan issues?

    JaneyW replied to Joe NightingMale's topic in General Nursing

    Google SNAPLE. You may find some help. There are a few loan forgiveness programs. You might also google nurse school loan forgiveness and see what comes up. Are there no public programs in your...

  6. Real tips for patients

    JaneyW replied to JRapha'sRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

  7. Question about Something I Read - DNP

    JaneyW replied to Pumpkin1621's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I have looked into DNP programs, and they require an MSN for entry. Maybe that will change, but at the moment you won't be able to forget about the MSN. Most DNP programs are about 2 years as you...

    JaneyW replied to azzurra29's topic in Ob/Gyn

  9. Newborn Transition Policy

    JaneyW posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    We are needing to update our transition policy to make us more baby-friendly. We currently have our babies spend a couple of hours with mom and dad with no VS or real assessment other than initial...

  10. Reader's Digest article on nursing

    JaneyW replied to TigerGalLE's topic in General Nursing

    This article also made me angry. I don't think it was just a matter of staffing. I work in a large teaching hospital and I can tell you that there is ALWAYS an attending available to call. The...

  11. starting 7p-7a right after a day shift

    JaneyW replied to Euphrosyne7's topic in General Nursing

    I would always sleep as usual and then take a long nap--sometimes taking a benadyl around 12:30 and laying down around 1 until 4 or so. Most of the time I would sleep pretty well. Then I would wake...

    JaneyW replied to johnsavv's topic in General Nursing

  14. I have a BA, now what?

    JaneyW replied to NWLady's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I was once in your place. At the time, my best option was the ADN--there were no BSN programs in my area that didn't cost way too much $$$. Now I am getting my MSN in education. My thoughts would...

  15. Does nights or first shift give your insulin?

    JaneyW replied to TooterIA's topic in General Nursing

    I work with pregnant ladies trying to get their insulin under control--usually the reason they are there. This thread has been both confusing and enlightening to me. I know I need to spend some time...

  16. evidence based practice

    JaneyW replied to nurse79's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Terrific insight, Ariesbsn. This is a big reason for all of the moral and ethical dilemmas of nursing. We have the knowledge, but we do not have the power or autonomy to put that knowledge into...

    JaneyW replied to big apple's topic in General Nursing

  18. Dominguez Hills CNS?

    JaneyW replied to Myethpio's topic in Online Distance Learning

    If you live anywhere near the campus, I would recommend going to the workshop in person. I also very highly recommend you attend the orientation. It is a one day meeting and it is very valuable. I...

  19. Somedays I just wish EFM would go away....

    JaneyW replied to kathiecnm's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Your story just breaks my heart. I always get weak-kneed and sweaty when I can't find FHTs after moving a patient or if they have been off monitor--what happened to you is a nightmare of mine. I do...

  20. Tips for IV insertion

    JaneyW replied to tamari07's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Take a deep breath and try to relax. Use gravity--hang the arm down and sit on a stool or chair--along with the tourniquet. Go in at not much of an angle--maybe 20%. Get enough of the needle in so...

  21. I want to change jobs, be a Walmart Greeter

    JaneyW replied to kdot2003's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Is there a teaching hospital around you? I used to work at a place that sounds like yours. I also loved it and the people I worked with, but there were too many near misses for my taste. I went to...

  22. Agency vs. Per Diem

    JaneyW replied to Boston-RN's topic in General Nursing

    I have only worked per diem-no agency. I like per diem a lot for the same reasons already mentioned. I have many of the benefits of being staff and all of the flexibility of being agency. I don't...

  23. On the Job only 1 week and want to leave!

    JaneyW replied to SweetieRN's topic in General Nursing

    I do not fault you at all for not staying longer--you would be wasting their time and yours. But, don't make the mistake of not listing the employment on a future job app. It will show up on your...

    JaneyW replied to Mistify's topic in General Nursing

    I have also heard my friends who have an autistic child that they noticed something not quite right from the beginning--certainly before they were a year old. Then I've also heard of other children...
