  1. What specialty of Nursing is most needed in Travel nursing

    JaneyW replied to IndyGypsyNurse's topic in Travel

    Every L&D unit I've been on here in Southern California has had at least one traveler. We have several on nights and days at the

  2. Scrubs in L&D

    JaneyW replied to cysrnob's topic in California Nursing

    It isn't a California thing either way. I am in southern California and know of hospitals that let you wear your own and hospitals that insist that you wear theirs. I have worked one place that did...

  3. is the nclex too easy?

    JaneyW replied to traumahawk99's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I agree with Fergus. There is no reason to have a test that is too difficult just so you don't have a good pass rate. Would that make sense? If the nursing schools are doing their job, they should...

    JaneyW replied to traumahawk99's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    What other professions are you comparing the pass rate

  5. new to site

    JaneyW replied to mamacat's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I started out at a level one for two years and am now at a level three. Big difference! When my co-workers at the level three complain about bad staffing, I really have to bite my tongue. I loved...

  6. Anyone Doin Online MSN in Education?

    JaneyW replied to Tweety's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I am finishing my first semester in the MSN in education program at Cal State Dominguez Hills on-line program. I LOVE it. It is user friendly and the staff are very nice and accessible. I have an...

  7. Corona Regional Med. Ctr. anyone have any work experience here?

    JaneyW replied to khipps's topic in California Nursing

    What is your area? I worked there in L&D for 2 years. The nurses in that area were very nice and very knowledgeable. It was very much a family atmosphere. I left for a larger teaching hospital...

  8. US medical insurance

    JaneyW replied to kheynurse's topic in International Nursing

    We have insurance through my husband who is self-employed--so we pay the full premium without help from an employer. For the original poster--is that a premium for you without employer contribution?...

  9. Master Level General Nurse - What are your thoughts?

    JaneyW replied to flyingfish2u's topic in General Nursing

    I am still not on either side with this issue. These programs are nationwide (not just here in CA) and are new enough that we don't really know what will happen. I do know the director of the Cal...

  10. C-section Personnel

    JaneyW replied to NativeButterfly's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I believe the standard from AHA in NRP text is 2 NRP certified people at everydelivery. I have also seen the peds not coming to routine/scheduled c/s for a while in my area, but there should still be...

  11. medicine or wives tale????

    JaneyW replied to leigh21's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Way long ago (I am 39), my mom got pregnant while using spermicide and here I am after two boys! I also think that fighter pilots and some people who work with certain anasthesias have...

  12. medicine or wives tale????

    JaneyW replied to leigh21's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have three boys. The last boy was conceived while following the rules about having a girl. I agree with deb, the only real way to do it is to have artificial manipulation of the sperm. I called...

  13. suctioning mec at perineum?

    JaneyW replied to JaneyW's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It is being looked at by both the NICU and OB docs at our place. Our OBs were on board with the new guidelines (we are a teaching hospital), but the last NICU resident I had a delivery with thought...

  14. suctioning mec at perineum?

    JaneyW posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    OK, we just had a skills day and were given a copy of the 2005 AHA updates for NRP. In the updates (dated last fall), it is no longer recommended to routinely suction meconium stained babies before...

  15. MSN focus

    JaneyW replied to fergus51's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Check your state's BRN as they may have qualifications. In the state of California, the code of regulations specifically states that faculty must have a Master's or higher degree from an accredited...

  16. Cytotec?

    JaneyW replied to 2curlygirls's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It is used off-label and Searle has CYA'd mostly because it costs so little to produce. They can't make enough off of selling Cytotec to pay for all of the research costs involved in clearing it for...

  17. Why did YOU choose OB nursing?

    JaneyW replied to tabbeycatt's topic in Ob/Gyn

    No flaming me for not being a baby lover!! I like babies fine, but I guess I was trying to point out that it wasn't what motivated me to work in

  18. Why did YOU choose OB nursing?

    JaneyW replied to tabbeycatt's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Many reasons. I like having only 1 or 2 patients and spending a lot of time with them during an important transition in their lives. I love concentrating on one area of nursing instead of being a...

    JaneyW replied to shortstuff31117's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We lost a mom a couple of years ago that had acreta. They didn't know antenatally. She went for a scheduled repeat c/s and it had grown our through the uterus and into her internal organs. A hys...

  20. Has anyone had successful spinal surgery?

    JaneyW replied to LoriAlabamaRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have only had a cervical spinal fusion--not a lower back yet. I have to disagree with the other posters about only going to a neurosurgeon. The most important thing is to find someone who is a...

  21. Performance Improvement

    JaneyW replied to nodi0603's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We are working on getting moms of preemies that go to the NICU to pump within 6-8 hours of delivery and then regularly after to get their milk established and to their little ones. It is working very...

  22. Cervidil

    JaneyW replied to Emily Canwell's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We used Cervidil at my last place--I liked it a lot. We let them get up and walk after an hour--so no continuous. I had the same experience with multips. It was frustrating, because I would have...

  23. Sterile Speculum exams for ?ROM

    JaneyW replied to LizzyL&DRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That reminds me of one of my favorite stories--don't read if you are easily offended. This is from an ex-coworker of mine and had me almost passing out laughing at a Christmas party best story...

  24. When delegating what is safe?

    JaneyW replied to vfahnholz's topic in General Nursing

    What is it you are being asked to delegate? It is an RN function to delegate tasks that are within others' scope and competence. I do it all of the time. You cannot delegate RN duties like...
