  2. Any lactation consultants or counselors?

    webbiedebbie replied to webbiedebbie's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hey thanks for the reply. Yes, I am talking about that certification. I'm hoping to hear from others, too. Oops, I don't live in Austin...that's my husband's name. I get ribbed all the time about...

  3. Should I give nursing one more chance?

    webbiedebbie replied to my2girlsRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    How long have you been in nursing? I took a 5 year break and came back to nursing 1 year ago. Sometimes, I regret it, but the pluses outweigh the minuses. Good luck in whatever you

  8. New position...help!

    webbiedebbie replied to LesJenRN's topic in General Nursing

    Seems kind of late to call the manager at this point. I was on orientation on nights a few years ago...was having migraines and finding it very hard to work nights, so I gave notice. I have...

  9. Is this common?????

    webbiedebbie replied to positivethinker's topic in Travel

    Every agency is different...check around! As Carol said, most places need travelers due to staffing. My contract did not state anything about call...but the hospital where I was at would put their...

  11. Post Hep. B Vac. Series and testing for Antibodies

    webbiedebbie replied to colleen10's topic in General Nursing

    I thought after receiving the series that I was done for good. About 8 years later, I was tested and had to have another one done. I had the first two of the series done in Colorado. It wasn't as...

  12. Care plan for a 4th degree

    webbiedebbie replied to webbiedebbie's topic in Ob/Gyn

    How well do the PLASTIC sitz baths work? Since I have never used one myself, I just tell them how to use it. If I knew from you who have experienced them, I probably could be a little more...

  13. Care plan for a 4th degree

    webbiedebbie replied to webbiedebbie's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hey...thanks for the interventions! I worked at one hospital years ago (since closed) that would NOT allow us to tell patients about sitz baths! No kidding! When I had my kids back in the 80's, I...

  14. Tension in the workplace

    webbiedebbie replied to acuteobrn's topic in General Nursing

    Although I don't agree that altering documentation is acceptable, I think she is not in the right position. SOUNDS TO ME THAT SHE IS NOT SUITED FOR L&D! Perhaps a transfer to a more structured...

  15. Beware!

    webbiedebbie posted a topic in Travel

    I accepted a position for 13 weeks. I have 4 to go. In the middle, I got sick and missed 5 shifts. These will have to be made up. I didn't get paid for those shifts of course, and that really hurt...

  16. Beware!

    webbiedebbie replied to webbiedebbie's topic in Travel

    Are we allowed to say what hospital? I will say it is in NC. They have a severe staffing shortage...I don't know if it is because they can't keep people there or if they are only allotted so many...

    webbiedebbie posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

  20. Change of Shift Admissions

    webbiedebbie replied to zenman's topic in General Nursing

    I agree! Change of shift admissions are the worst, either just before the end of the shift, or right at the beginning. Both are difficult. With all of the paperwork involved and the assessment,...

    webbiedebbie posted a topic in General Nursing
