1. Allow Kids during childbirth

   VSRN replied to jayna's topic in General Nursing

   Here's my two cents. I had my 3rd child with my 10yo, and 6yo in attendance. I coached the kids on what was to happen, (plus I figured that this delivery would be relatively easy (oxymoron), as my two previous). Both kids stayed up at my head for ...

2. Medical Bill Review and Audit

   VSRN replied to VSRN's topic in Entrepreneurs

   Wow. This is the first time I have heard of a bona fide person actually doing this on her own. UR Nurse, Medicare is one possible client base (although finding individual clients would be very time consuming). I tried self insured companies, TPAs, ...

3. What's the weirdest baby name?

   VSRN replied to teresab_2000's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I once heard of a mom who named her child Nosmoking.....said it was the last thing she saw before her c/s. I also had a teen mom who named her child Margarita......(sad). I learned from many years working with new parents how to keep a straight face...

4. Has anyone been pregnant as a L&D nurse?

   VSRN replied to teresab_2000's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Teresa, I opted not to disclose my pregnancy and was not showing. I learned that they couldn't ask by law and I knew that it would not affect my ability to be a great OB nurse. As I know now, a prospective hiree's private business is entirely that...

5. Has anyone been pregnant as a L&D nurse?

   VSRN replied to teresab_2000's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I cannot think of a better place than PP to begin your nursing career if you are planning a pregnancy. L&D would be pretty harrowing though. My first child was concieved in nursing school and I began my career 6 months preg working nights - pos...

6. For those that have left bedside nursing.

   VSRN replied to PhantomRN's topic in General Nursing

   As a nurse you will never wipe yourself out of the market. But truthfully you will lose some hospital and agency marketability after 5 years or so away from hopital nursing. You must trust that you are making the best decision for yourself at this ...

7. Denver Children's hospital

   VSRN replied to rachet65's topic in Pediatric

   I noticed no one has answered yet. I live near Denver, have never worked at Children's, but, I will tell you they have the best reputation for care. The best pediatric docs are there, surgeons, ect. As for the rest, I haven't heard any negative th...

8. For those that have left bedside nursing.

   VSRN replied to PhantomRN's topic in General Nursing

   How sad is it that we equate real nursing with bedside? Where is it that we think we must work in a hospital on a busy Med/surg floor to be considered a real nurse? As a profession we have such depth of talent and intelligence. That, my friends, ...

9. For those that have left bedside nursing.

   VSRN replied to PhantomRN's topic in General Nursing

   PhantomRN, I left hospital nursing over 10 years ago and have done clinical and public health. Do I miss bedside? Nope. I actually am mostly a stay at home nurse/mom. It is the best job I have ever had, but, money is very tight right now....

    Yup, that's exactly the job I am supposed to be offering. Thx for the info. I am planning to talk with a few insurance agent friends of mine.....sure wish I could connect with some nurses who supposedly have gone through the same "training" that I ...

11. Medical Bill Review and Audit

    VSRN replied to VSRN's topic in Entrepreneurs

    Hi Sharon. The business reviews hospital bills and audits them for overcharges. The company that got me involved recruited nurses because of our background. It is a niche service that the companies I have talked to so far are unwilling to go the e...

12. Medical Bill Review and Audit

    VSRN posted a topic in Entrepreneurs

    Seems to me a lot of us nurses are searching for ways to make a living outside of traditional nursing. I am making an attempt to begin a review and audit business and am wondering if anyone out there is trying to do the same or has even heard of it....

13. does the profession of nursing eat their young?

    VSRN replied to jbcarebear0623's topic in Informatics

    When I was in nursing school over 15 years ago, I read an article on exactly the same subject. I have found many loving nurses who have taken me under their wings and I have found some that are driven and react in a condenscending way. We see this a...
