   sunneeRN replied to sunneeRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

   The interview went well. She said that she is going to offer me the position. She was trying to tell me how busy it is, and how I have to be able to do all this teaching, which is exactly what I expected...but she did manage to get me second guessi...

2. interview in a few hours! yikes!

   sunneeRN posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

   OK so I have my post partum interview today. Why is it that I all of a sudden feel like a new grad? I'm all nervous and driving myself crazy! I feel like I did when I was brand new to med/surg....I feel like everything is so overwhelming and that ...

   Hi, I have posted before about possibly moving from my women's health/oncology position to antepartum, however, a few post partum positions have opened up and that is what I have ALWAYS wanted to do. I have applied, and we are setting up an intervie...

4. nursing morale going down the tubes

   sunneeRN replied to sunneeRN's topic in General Nursing

   thanks for the posts so far! my manager's response to our staffing concerns were " i guess it's time to be creative." i wanted to ring her neck. Hard to be "creative" when I am trying to assess, pass meds, walk patients, help them to the bathroom, ...

6. nursing morale going down the tubes

   sunneeRN posted a topic in General Nursing

   OK things are progessively getting much worse on my unit as far as staffing and staff morale. The attitude is "if my patients are still breathing, than it's ok." That is not OK with me. Last night, I cared for 9 sick oncology patients. One of them wa...

7. Do yuo review the intra-operative notes?

   sunneeRN replied to CIRQL8's topic in General Nursing

   i take care of A LOT of post ops and to be truthful, the only time I really look at the intraoperative notes is if I have concerns about something. If they get to the floor and have a sky high blood pressure, I will look at the trends and everything...

   Hi everyone! OK I've been a women's health/oncology nurse for 2 years now. I love the people I work with, and I love most of the patients, but I've always, ALWAYS wanted to be an OB nurse. I work in a women's hospital, so transferring would be very e...

   sunneeRN replied to Lynn07's topic in General Nursing

   I have to say that we hired a nurse that was 7 months pregnant and while I don't know the details, I do know that our manager had to let her go after she had the baby. The manager said, though, that when she was able to return to work, she could reh...

12. what to do on days off

    sunneeRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am a young nurse (24 years old) and I work steady night shift. I was just wondering, if you are my age (or when you were my age), what do or did you do on your days off? Sometimes I feel like the entire universe is at work while I sit at home dur...

15. Uniforms.. color scrubs vs whites

    sunneeRN replied to staceylee67's topic in General Nursing

    I have to agree with above poster. At our hospital, RN's wear all white. On weekends when my boss isn't around, I wear printed jackets and my onc patients love them. They always make a comment on how a bright jacket is so much nicer to look at tha...
