  1. IM/Rhogam Injection Gone Wrong?

    JaneyW replied to cougSN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hip pain is different from sciatic pain. There are lots of pains and aches after childbirth--and also after an IM injection. Like Lacie said--breathe. I'm sure everything is fine. You will...

  2. How long does a Cesarean section last?

    JaneyW replied to rn4ever?'s topic in Ob/Gyn

    Depends on if there are previous scars, adhesions as someone else mentioned. I agree with the 45 minute to one hour. I have mainly seen spinals, though epidurals are sometimes used if they are...

  3. Ive worked 2 weeks in hh with ruptured C6/C7 discs

    JaneyW replied to chenoaspirit's topic in Home Health

    They told me that I would no longer have full range looking up. I don't spend a lot of time in that position, so it isn't an issue! I do practice yoga and have some limitations as far as standing on...

  4. Ive worked 2 weeks in hh with ruptured C6/C7 discs

    JaneyW replied to chenoaspirit's topic in Home Health

    Isn't it amazing? I got to the point where I couldn't feel my fingers of one hand at all before I even went to the MD. I had a C6-7 fusion 7 years ago and am doing very well. You can get through...

  5. Job security and job opportunities in nurse education

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

    Again, that is something you will have to research for yourself in your area. Each school has its own culture--kind of like hospitals! I was lucky to have been hired into a program that is very...

  6. Job security and job opportunities in nurse education

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

    I think it depends greatly on where you live. I live in Southern California and we have many nursing schools within driving distance of my house (we have lived here for 18 years and are not going to...

  7. My daughter brought home head lice and...

    JaneyW replied to TreehuggerRN's topic in General Nursing

    Your school and school nurse may not know. You should probably call and tell

  8. Pre-pulling Medicatons

    JaneyW replied to skittlebear's topic in General Nursing

    I don't work LTC and probably never will. The part of the OP that jumped out at me was that passing meds was the 'easy' nursing function. I completely disagree. If you are being careful and paying...

  9. Lingering Lice

    JaneyW replied to Ash_Rox87CMA's topic in School

    Do you have a public health nurse that can make a house visit? Has this grown into a child neglect

  10. What did your Master's degree cost you?

    JaneyW replied to PAERRN20's topic in General Nursing

    I also don't have a BSN. I did have a BA and an ADN. I went through Cal State Dominguez Hills in their on-line program. 3 1/2 years for about $9,000. The last year was paid for with federal funds...

  11. Debt! Advice please

    JaneyW replied to mollysdirtysprocket's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with Kittykatty. I got an ADN after a BA and now have an MSN. Best not to go into more debt. I now teach at an ADN program and I am a believer in the

  12. BSN or training certifications? More competitive/competent in L&D?

    JaneyW replied to SiennaGreen's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am also of the mindset that more education is always a good thing. I just finished an MSN. However, if you are asking specifically for OB, I would encourage you to get your ACLS, NRP and basic...

  13. Shaved Mons - Phenomenon

    JaneyW replied to recbest's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks for a funny thread. I too had noticed this trend over the past few years. Maybe shaving makes it easier to see all the lovely tattoos and piercings I have also been seeing??

  14. Mother/baby organization

    JaneyW replied to LuvofNursing's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I can't speak for everyone, but I do my moms and babies at the same time. I prioritize with the info I am given in report. I go around and say hi to everyone and see if they need pain meds, then I...

  15. Can't even spike a bag!!

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

    Try not to drink too much coffee or other caffeinated drinks. You will shake less and keep calm easier. This worked well for me when I was in your shoes. I remember shaking when I primed tubing out...

  16. Was I taught the wrong thing in school?

    JaneyW replied to qaqueen's topic in Diabetes, Endocrine Nursing

    That's a tough situation to be in. Especially because soon they will wonder why you can't think for yourself even after they have discouraged it. I just think that maybe that situation may have...

  17. Was I taught the wrong thing in school?

    JaneyW replied to qaqueen's topic in Diabetes, Endocrine Nursing

    Did you call the MD to let him/her know about the result, pt's status and that the insulin was

  18. Nurse Educators- do you work in the hospital setting or as nursing school faculty?

    JaneyW replied to Honeybun1206's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I am a brand new full-time teacher (tenure-track) in an ADN program. I am teaching two quarter-long classes: fundamentals and OB (was an L&D nurse). I LOVE teaching--lecture, lab and clinical....

  19. Master degree nurses, I beg for your thoughts

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

    Well, I would never have been able to get a job teaching in a nursing program in California without the MSN. In fact, A few of the programs I applied to as I was graduating last spring refused to...

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

    If you go on the California BRN website it will answer some of your questions: http://www.rn.ca.gov. They want to make sure that your nursing program meets the requirements of licensing in...

    JaneyW replied to Go Green Girl Jr.'s topic in Post Graduate Students

    Cal State Dominguez Hills. CSUDH.edu. They have a pathway program I completed in May. I have a BA in psych, an ADN, and now an MSN. Good program, reasonably priced and fully accredited. I don't...

  22. VENT--no call after my interview.

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

    Did you send out thank you notes to the manager and panel after the interview? How many times have you called? How long did you wait to call? Keep after them. If anything, you need to have this...
