  1. What can I do with a MSN degree?

    JaneyW replied to willdgate's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Let me try to clarify some things--I believe people were trying to be helpful but maybe needed a little more info from you. Also, as you would find out pretty quickly if you started an MSN program,...

  2. In what instances would you use your chain of command

    JaneyW replied to mugwump's topic in Ob/Gyn

    One time we had to use it up the nursing chain due to the fact that the MD in question was our chief of OB! We had a level 1 nursery only and he wanted to induce a 34 weeker for PIH--she had...

  3. PIH Rx

    JaneyW replied to nurse79's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think one of the first things is to be prepared. When you are first starting out, just learning everything can be very overwhelming. I learned real quick to be as prepared as possible (but even...

  4. Calling all users of QS charting

    JaneyW replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We are learning it right now and it will be implemented once we are all trained early next month--I'll let you know when I

    I have also seen this with Stadol. Not so much with

  6. Tylenol 3 vs. Codeine.. Which medication do you administer first?

    JaneyW replied to solumedrol's topic in General Nursing

    We use codeine by itself all of the time in postpartum. It is usually given 60mg tablet. Sometimes the order is for 30mg. I will sometimes give it with Motrin 600 or give the codeine and then the...

  7. Need your advise/ encouragement, PLEASE

    JaneyW replied to NatalieGRN's topic in Pediatric

    I also live in the area of CHOC and am familiar with their hospital--are you not in any kind of residency program because you are returning after a break and with no previous experience? I know that...

  8. Docs making stupid decisions

    JaneyW replied to htrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am currently taking an ethics course in my MSN program and have discovered a label for the feelings you are describing--feelings that nurses in all areas feel way too often. It is called 'moral...

  9. BSN mandatory by 2010???

    JaneyW replied to NursePamela's topic in California Nursing

    Never going to happen in California. No way and no how. We just don't have the BSN programs available to handle the demands. The last I read (last spring for a paper in my MSN program), 70% of...

  10. is confidence a turn off

    JaneyW replied to alluvme's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You received many terrific responses. I want to suggest that maybe it was just the end of a very busy 12 hour shift and people just were too tired or just not in the mood to be chatty or friendly at...

  11. Questions for PER DIEM nurses

    JaneyW replied to 777RNThatsMe's topic in General Nursing

    I had also said I would work the occasional night shift. I probably work about 4 or 5 a year. They have such a great need on days that it just isn't really necessary. I like the people at night,...

  12. Questions for PER DIEM nurses

    JaneyW replied to 777RNThatsMe's topic in General Nursing

    I have had a couple of per diem positions. I have set my own schedule at both. There is usually a minimum amount of shifts required per week or month or schedule with some of those being weekend...

  13. Abx after ROM? How long before...

    JaneyW replied to ShannonB25's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The last place I worked, all the docs had standing orders for abx at 18 hours. I am at a teaching hospital now and if they are term and afebrile they are not routinely given

  14. What do patients say that irks you?

    JaneyW replied to NurseforPreggers's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I haven't read all of the posts in this long thread, so forgive me if I am repeating anything. There is a great comedian (clean!) named Brian Regan who has a really great bit about a trip to the ER...

  15. Anyone with online experience at Cal State-Dominguez Hills?

    JaneyW replied to mcleanl's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I am in my third semester of the MSN-educator program at CSUDH. Yes, the on-line organization is very good. It is easy to navigate and I have had very little problem technically. I am enjoying the...

  16. organization of articles tips?

    JaneyW replied to Selke's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I am wedded to paper versions of articles as I like to highlight. I amstoring them in expandable file-type folders under the classes where I originally retrieved them. I also keep them stored in my...

  17. Which Nursing Theory do you agree with?

    JaneyW replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in General Nursing

    I had my first nursing theory class last summer as a part of an MSN program (my BA is not in nursing, so I haven't encountered the theorists before!). At first, my attitude was all about, "duh!"....

  18. To AWHONN or not to AWHONN?

    JaneyW replied to Elisheva's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have belonged to AWHONN since I started out (4 years) and have found the information provided in their magazine and journal (part of the membership cost) to be very informative and helpful. I am...

  19. Any MEPN CSUDH applicants?

    JaneyW replied to Member30's topic in Post Graduate Students

    So, are you an RN? I thought that was a prereq for the MSN. I know I had to send a copy of my

  20. do physical therapists make more money than RNs?

    JaneyW replied to nurse~ashley's topic in General Nursing

    My favorite PT has a PhD. That is worth more in my book. Good PTs are extremely important for the patients' long term well

  21. Any MEPN CSUDH applicants?

    JaneyW replied to Member30's topic in Post Graduate Students

    That is a new program for them. I do have a BA in psych, but I have been an RN for 4 years now. I am a 'pathway' student in that I don't have my BSN, only my ADN. What is your bachelor's degree in?...

  22. Any MEPN CSUDH applicants?

    JaneyW replied to Member30's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I am a CSUDH student getting my MSN with an education emphasis. I started last January. I like it so far. What is

  23. Student and wanting help in going forward to bcome a OB nurse

    JaneyW replied to NursingStudent19's topic in Ob/Gyn

    First of all, only RNs work in L&D. This is due to the high level of care involved and the need to make accurate and complete assessments quite often. Assessing patients is an RN function....

    JaneyW replied to TRAUMARN96's topic in Post Graduate Students

    JaneyW replied to Irishgirl's topic in General Nursing

    I was just discussing transfusing with a coworker yesterday--timely thread. Thanks for the tip about the filter! I have another question. In nursing school, it was drummed into my head to NEVER...
