  1. No Maternity (or peds) rotations in my school

    rnin02 replied to Sarah LnDHopes's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That stinks that you won't get any ob/l&d/peds time, (and no psych either, but I would have been happy about that one myself;)). Lots of Med/surg it looks like, which I think will be very helpful...

  2. Adjusting to night shift--HELP!!

    rnin02 replied to Annebug's topic in General Nursing

    I think when you work 8 hrs vs 12 hrs it's very different...the people who work 11-7 don't need to go straight to bed, but when you work 7p-7a, its helpful to go straight to bed...there's less time...

  3. Adjusting to night shift--HELP!!

    rnin02 replied to Annebug's topic in General Nursing

    I just wanted to chime in again...this is so true!! My parents and brother "get it" because they've all worked night shift before, they are very understanding. My husband does not get it...he tries,...

  4. Adjusting to night shift--HELP!!

    rnin02 replied to Annebug's topic in General Nursing

    Well, as a kid of a former night shift nurse, I can say that some kids do get it! We knew to be as quiet as possible, and I think we usually suceeded...mom usually had to be shaken awake when it was...

  5. So I lost it? Am I out of Line?

    rnin02 replied to fizz2Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I have to agree with the another poster, I don't see where or how you really "lost it". I've seen my charge nurses throw phones before, while dealing with far less crap, I think you held it together...

  6. Postpartum assessment at your hospitals

    rnin02 replied to DCJ3's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm still finishing up orientation to postpartum...but I've been taught to do a full assessment. I was told to be a little more "gentle" on the c/s mom's fundus, but definitely to check it! I would...

  7. Babies overnighting in moms room

    rnin02 replied to crissrn27's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hopefully that doesn't happen very often! I think the mom and the nurse can decide together how safe it is, and as much as mom may want her baby every second, if she is exhausted and/or needing a lot...

  8. Tricks to remember things

    rnin02 replied to Holly27's topic in General Nursing

    Someone maybe already posted this one, since I haven't read the whole thread, but this is how I remember how to place leads: "White on the right, smoke over fire" and then you are just left with green...

  9. Need to hear about post partum nursing!

    rnin02 replied to MA Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I normally do well baby nursery, not NICU, but I have also been cross training to Post Partum. It is a nice change to take care of patients who aren't "sick"...I used to work Telemetry, so I...

  10. The Circumcision Discussion

    rnin02 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    isn't it funny...but i wish my parents had gotten my ears pierced when i was a toddler, and they would have had to take care of them for me at first! i was older when i finally talked them into it,...

  11. rn

    rnin02 replied to molyy's topic in General Nursing

    well said! its great to be supportive of people, and its true we don't all come here with our "a" game when it comes to typing, grammer, spelling, etc...but there's a limit to how much slang and...

  12. Ways I have heard Metoprolol pronounced...by medical personnel.

    rnin02 replied to stillpressingon's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, this is so me! And so many words are "right" in my head but come out all wrong...like

  13. MRSA/gowns and gloves

    rnin02 replied to BABY--RN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I'm not in the NICU, but in our well-baby nursery we are supposed to gown up whenever we hold or feed a baby. Gloves aren't needed. I'm sure our NICU has the same

  14. questions about vomiting

    rnin02 replied to august07's topic in General Nursing

    Reread the first post...the OP clearly states "fish the pills out and give them OR call pharmacy to send new ones up". Yuck. edited to add the quote, my emphasis do you fish out the meds and give them...

  15. on call hours for L&D

    rnin02 replied to moon25's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Don't you get to choose what time/day you are on

  16. The Circumcision Discussion

    rnin02 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    So, are you saying a circumcision makes a member look nicer later? And, boob jobs and lipo are not something forced on you (at least hopefully not!), you get to make that decision for yourself as a...

  17. on call hours for L&D

    rnin02 replied to moon25's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We are currently getting $5 (or maybe $5.50?) for on call, but will be moving up to $7.50 soon. If you are called in it is time and

  18. The Circumcision Discussion

    rnin02 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My husband is not circumcised and has never had a problem...no infections, hygiene issues are non exisistent. He was never talked about in the locker room or anything like that. Personally, we will...

  19. on call hours for L&D

    rnin02 replied to moon25's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm not sure what L&D has to do, but for postpartum/nursery/nicu, we have to sign up for 20 hours of call time for a 6 week schedule...that's full and part time. I think PRN has to do 12 hours?...

  20. Question about Harlequin ichthyosis

    rnin02 replied to student456's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That must be overwhelmingly painful. Makes me want to cry. I don't remember reading about it during

  21. Is PP Hemorrhage usually pretty obvious???

    rnin02 replied to azzurra29's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Great thread! Any other tips?? I'm being oriented to PP (from nursery, we are working our way to mother/baby couplet care) and my orientation is pretty much over, with of course no serious...

  22. BSN does not mean better... Sometimes education is overrated!

    rnin02 replied to lovegoddess1977's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    The biggest reason I went for my ADN vs BSN was all about money...it was so much cheaper to get that ADN. I guess the time in school was shorter too, but, really not that much, we had to go all...

  23. Failed Physical Test For CNA Today!!Now What??

    rnin02 replied to mammaoftwo's topic in General Nursing

    Has anyone ever had to pick up 100#s by themselves to waist level while working? If I had a large patient (well, most adults are over or at least close to 100 lbs, right? that doesn't even seem large...

  24. Disclosure of Depression to Nursing School

    rnin02 replied to WannaBmaleRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would disclose it, I think they are concerned about liability involving you as a student nurse at clinicals working with patients. I think depression that is controlled with counseling (it seems...

  25. Newborn Transition Policy

    rnin02 replied to JaneyW's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We still have separate nursery and postpartum for now...the plan is to go to mother baby by September, but who knows if that will happen (lots of staff moving this summer, having babies themselves,...
