Congrats, I too went straight into L/D after graduation, it is tough to learn how to be a nurse AND a L/D nurse at the same time, but possible and WONDERFUL !! Dont be afraid to ask questions, it will be a long time before you feel like standing on y...

Full term Abdominal pregnancy delivered by c/s with no complications, it was one of the wildest things I have ever seen !!

I know it wont help with this situation, but PRN is also a great alternative. My husband and I have 3 small children, daycare is CRAZY, so I worked PRN. I could choose the day & the shift I wanted to be on I could sign up for 4, 8, or 12 hours if...

I think a lot of nursing students have anxieties about shots and IVs, I know I did. I also know that almost every laboring patient that comes in the door, depending on where you work, gets an IV and blood drawn. I went straight into L/D after graduat...

In my nursing experience, they will wait toward the end of her period, because the cervix is slightly dilated at this point, use an ultrasound to visualize and go in with a forcep type instrument to pull it out. Pretty much the same experience p...

Hello all, just curious as to what all of the nurses and nurses to be out their have on their minds. What do you have to CHEER about work and life, and what whould you like to GEER about work and life. Any topic goes (as long as it is within an.com r...

:yelclap: I would like to CHEER a nurse I met here at allnurses not too long ago. We had what you would call a :smiley_abdiffering of oppinions. At times we were both very irritated at the other, I was taking it personally because the post was about ...

CHERYBABY.......GOOGLE.....I LOVE it !!!!

I am pretty new here and even I have gotten tired of seeing some of the same things over and over, but ya know what I do, I just don't read them. There are plenty of other threads out there of interest, and if you feel so inclined, post in the thread...

Heidisuz..............Where have you gone ??? Is all OK ??

Yes Lamazeteacher, I now have a new respect for you. I cant damn anyone for "shooting off at the mouth" because I have been know to do it too from time to time !! 421, I thank you for your input and support also. I will let everyone know the outcome ...

Lamazeteacher i thank you for your knowledge and input. I do want to make on thing clear though, I was not suspended by the BON. This happened back in April, I lost my job, and I have just now been able to find employment. Understandably, no one want...

You are so right jlsrn, there were many factors that worked against me that day. The main one I feel is that I got lax, I lost respect for the percocet because we give it out like candy. It was easy to forget exactly what the medication was and the r...

:saint:As I sit here reading all of the posts, I have tears running down my face. As a mother of 3 I cant count the number of times that I have tiptoed into my child's bedroom because they had slept in too long, or napped to long to suit me....I cant...

LAMAZETEACHER, Oh if we could all be so perfect.......NEVER is a strong word, and to say you have never done something, well anyway. And as far as me doubling a dose THAT NEVER HAPPENED !! We are talking about giving a dose from 14-19 min. befor...

what is the confusion ?? I stated that I failed to return them as I left work ill that day, I did however return them to the pharmacy later that evening once I realized what I had done.

jlsrn, The entire story is too crazy to have to post it every time. I think in my posts above I got most of the story out. I took meds home, brought them back the same day, they did a review of my MARs found on some occasions I had given meds "e...

I went straight into graduate school the semester after I got my BSN. I was working a .8 on nights, trying to learn how to be a REAL nurse in Labor and Delivery, planning a wedding, and buying our first house. My commute was only 1 hour, but I know w...

I may be guilty of a lot of things, but failing to be a patient advocate is not one of them, and neither is stealing/abuseing/misusing narcotics. Funny how life works, how you can look back at one moment in your life, and see how it changed EVERYTHIN...

sell the house pay the car off, take fewer vacations and cut your work week back a few hours !!! Are all the material things really important enough to you to harm yourself physically ?? I know this is drastic, and I dont actually mean it, well ...

I could use a lot less stress in my life right about now !!!

DEE, thanks for your input. A lot will change for me in the future !! I hope everyone understands that I did not make this a habit, obviously I would call the MD if it became a pattern, but if she needed meds because she had taken a shower or been to...
