  1. How soon after graduation would you start your ADN to BSN

    JaneyW replied to MickeysMom's topic in General Nursing

    I did an RN-MSN program because I already have a BA in something else and am now teaching full time at a CC and loving it. My advice would be to wait a bit and as another poster said put all your...

  2. How did you decide to teach?

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

    1. I wanted to teach nursing school since I was sitting in my seat during nursing school! I think I was born to teach and just needed to find the area. 2. I have a BA in Psych, an ADN and an...

  3. Maternal Health Nursing Question

    JaneyW replied to aschwenk1's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely AWHONN. If you attend meetings and conventions you can network and it may help you find

  4. New Nursing Student with Loads of Questions!

    JaneyW replied to soras_mommy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you are looking at perinatal nursing as you say, the LVN is not a good option because few, if any, LVNs are used in that area (speaking of my experience here in California). If it's been a while...

  5. why did you choose L&D.....

    JaneyW replied to vastudent09's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I really didn't want to care for 6-7 patients each going through something different. I liked L&D because it was 1-2 patients going through roughly the same thing. I had enough chaos at home...

  6. Fundal check post BTL

    JaneyW posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am the first to admit that I don't know everything, but I have been doing this a while and I also teach it, so I know quite a lot. Anyway, today I heard from my students that they have been told...

  7. Fundal check post BTL

    JaneyW replied to JaneyW's topic in Ob/Gyn

    No, chocolatrice, I am their instructor and the staff nurses were telling them this. I didn't have time to ask them why. I will next time we are there. I thought I'd throw it our here and see what...

  8. Fundal check post BTL

    JaneyW replied to JaneyW's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Klone, that was my thought. The risk of bleeding would trump most other contraindications. But I learn new things all of the time, so I thought I'd put it out

  9. Proper technique for perineal cleanse for foley insertion

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

    I also teach outside outside center, but I will warn the students that they may hear differently from staff

  10. Newer nurses with TOO much confidence?

    JaneyW replied to kidnurse98's topic in General Nursing

    I am a nursing instructor and these were my thoughts exactly. This would be the positive outcome, at

  11. Sooo...What are you doing with your MSN?

    JaneyW replied to stellina615's topic in General Nursing

    Full time faculty in ADN program. My MSN is in nursing education and teaching was always my goal. I am also curious as to what exactly encompasses an evidence-based practice

  12. panel interview advice needed

    JaneyW replied to ThisRNLovesToRun's topic in General Nursing

    Remember to get everyone's name. Maybe ask for cards? You will need to send thank you notes to each

  13. Physical Assessment

    JaneyW replied to HappyCat0325's topic in General Students

    Breathe and slow down. You will need to start forgiving yourself or this will

  14. Families!

    JaneyW replied to MissyF_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I also always speak to my patients. I now teach and teach my students to do the same. I have had patients who are supposedly uncommunicative look me right in the eye when I talk to them. Students...

  15. Experienced RN Interested in Post Partum Nursing and Need Feedback

    JaneyW replied to Genista's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If you like extensive teaching, you will love postpartum. Your med/surg experience will only help you. Good assessment skills are very important. People think it is easy or boring, but I find it a...

  16. In your opinion, was this an inappropriate assignment?

    JaneyW replied to klone's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Maybe, maybe not. Maybe the charge nurse had regular staff on that day that she knows are not good with IUFDs and you were the best choice. When I was working registry, I found that I often got the...

  17. Epidural management in RN scope of practice?

    JaneyW replied to Selke's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The issue is not the pump--it is the route. In California, I am not allowed, as an RN, to administer medications via the epidural or intrathecal route--pump or not. That is reserved for MDs and...

  18. Fainting after High Carb Meal

    JaneyW posted a topic in Cardiac

    Hi all! I am not looking for medical advice. I am happy with the advice we received. I am just wondering if you guys have seen this and how often. I am a perinatal nurse so my experience in this...

  19. Fainting after High Carb Meal

    JaneyW replied to JaneyW's topic in Cardiac

    Maybe. I think it is because it generally happens within a few minutes or while the meal is still being eaten. We were thinking she wouldn"t be eating a high carb meal while driving. I know what...

  20. Fainting after High Carb Meal

    JaneyW replied to JaneyW's topic in Cardiac

    The way the cardiologist explained it, there is nothing about blood sugar. It is a BP issue. By research I just meant Googling and finding it explained by MDs on laypeople sites. I found one...

  21. Epidural management in RN scope of practice?

    JaneyW replied to Selke's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It's not a matter of wanting to expand my practice. I am stuck with the scope of practice the State of California gives me. This is dictated, to some extent, by what the MDs will give up to us. If...

  22. Epidural management in RN scope of practice?

    JaneyW replied to Selke's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thank you Jolie! That is exactly true. I would also like to add a thanks for the confidence to JP MD, but please know that this is not under our control. As Jolie has presented, this is mandated...

  23. I think I made A Med Error

    JaneyW replied to RaziRN's topic in General Nursing

    Always look up meds you are unsure of--ALWAYS. Period. End of

  24. Oxygen administration during labor

    JaneyW replied to HelenLouise's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I also went into L&D right after school and have not regretted it. Most L&D nurses that I have worked with that worked med-surg first have admitted that they have forgotten most of it after a...

    I am a full time nursing school instructor and former L&D/PP nurse. Now I teach OB. I am writing to say a big that you to all of you OB nurses who take the time to take the student nurses "under...
