  1. Botox

    OB/GYN NP posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello all! I was wondering if any of you (probably Derm office nurses see this most) have had any experience with administering Botox injections? If so, where did you get training, have you ever seen...

  2. Cymbalta

    OB/GYN NP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hello all! I'm wondering if any of you have used Cymbalta in any of your patients? I have a few patients who are currently on Effexor XR and are having side effects, but need an SNRI as opposed to...

  3. Cedars-Sinai

    OB/GYN NP posted a topic in California Nursing

    Hello California! I'm wondering if any of you can give me any advice on Cedars, specifically L&D there? I'm considering a summer contract there, and I'm wondering about the work atmosphere. I...

  4. Cedars-Sinai

    OB/GYN NP replied to OB/GYN NP's topic in California Nursing

    That's what I'm thinking

  5. Cedars-Sinai

    OB/GYN NP replied to OB/GYN NP's topic in California Nursing

    I hadn't been able to find any info on their C/Section rate. They do require contractors in L&D to have ACLS, which seemed a bit odd to me. That typically means they expect to handle their own...

  6. Cymbalta

    OB/GYN NP replied to OB/GYN NP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thanks ACNP for the update on your dinner lecture! (And dinner sounds yummy too! :chuckle ) Zias also mentioned fibromyalgia. I have a patient with fibromyalgia that I just put on Cymbalta yesterday!...

  7. Troubled nurse

    OB/GYN NP replied to tri888's topic in International Nursing

    Sorry to hear of your difficult situation. I guess it would depend upon the hospital. Nearly all of the larger hospitals would require a pre-employment physical with blood work first, which may...

  8. Cymbalta

    OB/GYN NP replied to OB/GYN NP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences. I have also checked the local pharmacies and definitely found Cymbalta to be more expensive than Effexor XR (expected, since they won't NEARLY have...

  9. Cymbalta

    OB/GYN NP replied to OB/GYN NP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thanks for the first-hand reports! It definitely does help....sounds like at least a looong discussion about potential side effects is in order!

  10. Antsy nurse

    OB/GYN NP replied to zacarias's topic in Travel

    Hi "antsy"! First of all, let me say how sorry I am that you were assaulted. I feel for you. It changes your perspective on things, doesn't it? I see your dilemma, wanting to go, but unsure if...

  11. Chelation therapy to rid the body of heavy metals, e.g. lead and copper and aluminu

    OB/GYN NP replied to passing thru's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Just passing, I am an NP, and work in an integrative medicine practice (we combine herbal/"non-conventional medicine" with traditional allopathic medicine), as well as in a hospital setting....

  12. Travel Nursing in Boston

    OB/GYN NP replied to OB/GYN NP's topic in Travel

    Thanks everyone for your replies! I'll check out Cross

  13. Travel Nursing in Boston

    OB/GYN NP posted a topic in Travel

    Hi all! My husband is being relocated to Boston, and I think I'm going to give this whole travel nursing thing a try, in order to "play the field", if you will, before we decide where exactly to...

  14. Just How do You do It?

    OB/GYN NP replied to GLORIAmunchkin72's topic in Agency Nurses

    Good for you, Dixielee! That's how you make the system work for YOU, and not vice versa. I think it's wonderful that you had the desire to make what you want out of your career. I've been around the...

  15. Any Boston area nurses out there?

    OB/GYN NP posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi all! My husband and I will likely be relocating to the Boston area in the next 2-3 months. I wonder if anyone could give me some insight into the nursing community there, which hospitals are...

  16. Any Boston area nurses out there?

    OB/GYN NP replied to OB/GYN NP's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for your reply goody two shoes (cute name, btw :) )! My husband used to travel to Boston a lot for work, so at least HE was prepared for what it costs to live there--JEEZ! :uhoh21: I didn't...

  17. triage

    OB/GYN NP replied to acuteobrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hey acuteOBRN, I feel for ya'. Those of us who were fortunate enough to have a good preceptor will never forget what they did for us. We are unfortunately one of the professions who still eat our...

  18. Intelistaf?

    OB/GYN NP posted a topic in Travel

    Anyone had any experience with Intelistaf, good or bad? Pay rates seem really good. Wondering what the catch is. Any help would be appreciated!

  19. Intelistaf?

    OB/GYN NP replied to OB/GYN NP's topic in Travel

    Thanks ERN and lever. All of my dealings with them seem to be so good...I was waiting for the other shoe to fall! I'm glad you've had good experiences! That makes my decision easier. Thanks for your...

  20. De-Squeaking???

    OB/GYN NP replied to sharann's topic in General Nursing

    I do not have a helpful response, but maybe one that will make you giggle a little. As I was reading your post, I had this vision of Nurse Ratchet in "One Flew Over the Cookoo's Nest." :roll Thought...

  22. Questioning doctors orders

    OB/GYN NP replied to ohbet's topic in General Nursing

    AMEN, Youda and Furball!!!! Me too! I don't care if I die sooner because I got pain meds! If I'm dying anyway, it doesn't do my family, friends, or me any good for me to lay in that bed suffering any...

  23. Questioning doctors orders

    OB/GYN NP replied to ohbet's topic in General Nursing

    Great response Youda! I would like to add that the sticky situation comes in when you have an ethical problem with giving a med to a patient, and the Doc doesn't agree with your ethical reasoning. In...

  24. Culturally sensitive nursing--questions

    OB/GYN NP replied to dianacs's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't answer your other questions, so I'll add one more thing. Your hospital should provide interpreters, but I found that it was easier if I knew a few key phrases and questions, like how to ask...

  25. Culturally sensitive nursing--questions

    OB/GYN NP replied to dianacs's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Dianacs! I have worked in a hospital where there was a large population of various cultural groups (Orientals, Hispanics, Germans). I think it is helpful to be familiar with cultural and behavioral...
