    OB Night Nurse replied to kegreat's topic in School

    I also employ the "unseen vomit doesn't count" rule. I allow them to rest a bit and I always check their temp and offer a few saltine crackers. A great majority of my kids with stomach aches say they...

  3. Had my interview today.

    OB Night Nurse replied to NeoPediRN's topic in School

    I think you had very good responses. I bet you get offered the job. However, I wouldn't bet that you will routinely get off work at 2:30, especially if it's a very busy clinic. Every nurse I know has...

  9. Male RN gets to pay more?

    OB Night Nurse replied to churro's topic in General Nursing

    OB Night Nurse replied to Thedreamer's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Ian, I think you should follow your passion. Most patients shouldn't care that you are male. So many of them see male MD's and I'm fairly confident most of them got into their pregnant state by a...
