I work in L&D and we have 3 OR's and do our own C/S. Do you think we would benefit from working in a main OR to acquire more experience? When things go wrong in the OR, we are scrambling like chickens with their heads cut off. Is that normal?

I have been an RN for almost 4 years now, this is my second career now.

I have one. He just started kindergarden, that was hard. Again, please do not answer by written response unless you want to. I am only reading the percentages. It would make a great general threat though.

Please only answer the poll, I do not require a written response, and will not be looking at the written responses, only to the percentages.

I am interested in what general populations that nurses are in? Please take time to answer this but do not feel obligated to respond with a written thread.

Sunnygirl, I don't think nurse Lou meant anything by that. In L&D, only an RN can care for a gravid patient or a postoperative patient, at least where I am. However, we have LPN's that provide excellent care to recovering delivered patients. S...

I am an RN in L&D, high risk. I have 13 years experience as an Aircraft Dispatcher for a major airline and a private pilot license. Why can't I find a job that uses all those qualities? Do you think perinatal flight nurse is as close as I can ...

Thanks again, Matt.

Thanks traumarns, I have looked into it. Of course some of these jobs you have to wait until a nurse retires or dies (sorry but true) to get a position! Matt, I heard the trend now is to cross train the adult flight nurses to do OB, have you heard t...

It is a very loaded question, and Mark(LD), it wasn't a personal attack in any way. But Adrienurse is right, you couldn't possible tell which is better.

I like you , research rabbit!! I hope some woman met him in a dark alley!!! hahahaha I took the ASFAB (sp.) in 1982, when I told the recruiter that I wanted to be a pilot, he laughed, right in my face. Then he proceeded to tell me that women don't ...

by the way, thanks for the input here. I see an interesting trend. Now I have to do another questionaire on experience, determines burnout.

Hey lovebigdogs - tell him to spit out a y chomosome then he can become a sport model. My husband keeps flaking out about having a second child. I will be 38 in a few days and feel like my childbearing days are numbered.

I don't like the fortuitous use of what men did before. Oh, and men make great priests too!! (sarcasm included) We can also say that we (women) were considered as property and less than human, it is also why we have no historical data on what we d...

Haze - Cheerfuldoer's right. It's gotta be the 50 year old boy that causes the most trouble!!!

Wow Julie, what a full house you must have. Never Married - one son, have had a better half for over 13 years. My mom married 5 times, his mom married 7 times. We have no desire to legally tie the noose...HAHA...but we love each other and our son.....

extreme bean - do feel like she is yours in your heart...then yes and congrats too.. shellybelly - congrats to you too....

Now this post is getting fun....I forgot all about the research project

GIMME THE CARIBBEAN!!!!!!!!

GIMME THE CARIBBEAN:D :D

Ms. Purp Happy birthday to your "baby"! I could be their mommy if I had them at 12. Don't think that doesn't happen. Horrible thought, yes.

Amblessing - your husband is a sports model? Heather - do you want another? I was an only child..(hey there's a thread to be and maybe a research topic,. how many nurses are the first, middle,last or only child) I didn't like to be an only child, ...

Cheerfuldoer and Future Rn, I really do want to thank you. I didn't plan on reading the responses to the polls but they have made some great threads. And the general consensus is that most (quote on most) nurses by a specific age group (just like t...

I work in L&D so I can understand you trepidation....It is just a paper on status, children and age of nurses for a Nursing Research class. I promise it is in no way going to be published. There is no way to find out who voted for what on these...

Future RN, please see your e-mail. Any results will not be published in any way, shape, or form. Other than for a research paper. If you feel uncomfortable answering these questions, don't. Freedom of choice. But thanks for your interest.
