  1. bedside ultrasounds-nursing restrictions

    JaneyW replied to SheaOBRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    There is an LVN at my facility that does routine testing including BPPs. I don't consider it a license issue as much as a training issue. I am at a teaching hospital now, so the residents do it, but...

  2. Chaperone or not during exam

    JaneyW replied to masstudent's topic in Ob/Gyn

    As a nursing student a few years ago, I chaperoned a doc doing a pelvic on a woman in her 70s on a med/surg floor. I forget exactly why she was there, but the male doc was someone that had been...

  3. R.N. Vs. Masters in Nursing

    JaneyW replied to surfergirl's topic in California Nursing

    I am currently pursuing an MSN after a BA in psych and an ADN and four years of clinical experience. I can say that even with the MSN, no one will want you to teach without some clinical experience...

  4. Got the job @ UCI...where the heck do i live?!

    JaneyW replied to babynurse06's topic in California Nursing

    But UCI Medical Center is not in Irvine. It is in Orange but a side of Orange that borders on Santa Ana and Anaheim. It is also close to Garden Grove and Westminster--it is not very close to...

  5. Good stats text/refresher book?

    JaneyW posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    I am currently in an MSN program. I have a BA in psych from 1988 and my advanced stats course is from 1988. They aren't making me retake stats, but I feel like I need a bit of refreshing! I don't...

  6. Got the job @ UCI...where the heck do i live?!

    JaneyW replied to babynurse06's topic in California Nursing

    I work at UCI. I know of some new grads who live in the apartments between The Block and Crystal Cathedral. They look OK and it is very convenient to walk to and from work. As you will find out,...

  7. Vendoyne policy question

    JaneyW replied to Altalorraine's topic in Ob/Gyn

    OK, at the risk of appearing really stupid, what is a Vendoyne? Can you tell that that means that we don't have a policy regarding

  8. L&D as a separate unit.

    JaneyW replied to Bibi-OBRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I was trained to do all and have done all at the three hospitals where I have worked. I think it is possible if everyone is on board with it. Our new grads seem to do well, but they get 6 months of...

  9. Sta C/S

    JaneyW replied to imenid37's topic in Ob/Gyn

    In my last hospital we had this situation. We had a state box with disposable scalpels and lidocaine/syringes for local. We also had a half-day inservice class where we went over exactly what to do...

  11. Labor Nurses regulating epidurals

    JaneyW replied to terig63's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Check your state's BRN website. I am in CA and ours has specific guidelines regarding scope of practice for epidural infusions of any sort. I doubt that it is within your scope as an RN to do...

  12. Nursing Faculty Shortage

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

    I meant applicants for English, History, etc. Non-nursing positions. I am speaking of what I have heard about community college level here in California. I think that our community college level...

  15. How is nursing in AUSTRALIA??????

    JaneyW replied to mariuszraj's topic in International Nursing

    I am an OB nurse (both L&D and Postpartum). I have heard that there are only midwives staffing your units--no RNs. Is this

  16. Why do they bother coming in anyway??

  17. Nursing Faculty Shortage

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

    Vicky- Congrats on making the CNE!! I am just starting my MSN and learned all about the CNE in a research project. You should be very proud to be among the first to achieve that status! To the OP:...

  18. santa barbara

    JaneyW replied to tpepp's topic in California Nursing

    Is there a bad part of SB?? There is a UC there and some pretty wild student areas to stay away from. You may want to look into renting a room in a home--there are many beautiful large homes and...

  19. OK-I really need to vent!!!!

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

    I have never heard of doing that, so I guess we don't! I've been at three

  21. Do you love/hate your profession?

    JaneyW replied to AngelicLady's topic in General Nursing

    What great answers on this thread! They make so much sense to me. I think we are feeling the same things. Maybe you don't have to be a special kind of 'nurse' person to do the job, but you have to...

  22. I have a bunion!!!

    JaneyW replied to JaneyW's topic in General Nursing

    My problem with Crocs is that the size 8 is too small and the size 9 is too big!!! They look great. I don't think it would solve the arch problem, though. I know I need to go

    JaneyW replied to Jesskanurse's topic in General Nursing

    I wasn't a nurse at 23, but I was graduated from college, working a full-time job and living on my own. I got lonely a lot, too. Some of it is the situation and the stress of a new job/shift. A lot...

  24. Do you love/hate your profession?

    JaneyW replied to AngelicLady's topic in General Nursing

    I LOVE being a nurse. I don't always like my job or have terrific days, but I wouldn't trade being a nurse for anything. I love being able to help people on a real and practical level. It makes me...
