  3. Interested in OB

    jaxnRN replied to akemi's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I was also ALWAYS interested ONLY in OB. My mom was an OB nurse through her entire career also. Talk to the OB nursing supervisor. Tell her your love and your interest. Maybe you can work Med/Surg...

  4. What happened to the "office nursing" forum??

    jaxnRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I looked through the list of specialty forums and I swear there used to be an office nursing section. Did I miss it or did they remove it?

  5. do new RNs always get the night shift??

    jaxnRN replied to amyrae76's topic in General Nursing

    Our hospital is small and so is our area of the world, but there are usually options open to work a rotating shift of 12 hour day shifts and then 8 hour 3-11. There are rarely any 7-3 shifts open....

  6. Interview attire

    jaxnRN replied to FutureNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    Do nursing school still advise NOT to wear long sleeves. I remember when I graduated 14 years ago, that you should wear short sleeves so that you don't appear to be trying to hide any "track marks" on...

    jaxnRN replied to jaxnRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Thanks Patrick. I am glad to see that there is one positive response about this job. I just don't want to leave my current job and then be very unhappy in another. Jobs here are not easy to come by...

    jaxnRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    jaxnRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi. We are needing name badges at work and I am trying to find a site that might have some really cute ones. I remember some cute OB name badges we got about 10 years ago but I don't remember where...

  12. What do you make? if I may ask!

    jaxnRN posted a topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I am going back to office nursing after working in OB at the hospital. I am taking a $6.50/hour cut in pay, but have weighed the pros and cons. I could NOT do nights. I am going to work per diem at...

  13. Ugh!! I am so mad! Is it just us????

    jaxnRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I work in OB nights ( going to per diem in 2 weeks!!) When we are on low census, one of the two nurses will "float" to Med/Surg or ER. So last night I floated to Med/Surg. I don't mind helping out...

  14. What do you make? if I may ask!

    jaxnRN replied to jaxnRN's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    No Laura, I only make $12.50/hour. But I do get my insurance for free, a pension and other benefits. But the $$$$$ isn't

  15. Ugh!! I am so mad! Is it just us????

    jaxnRN replied to jaxnRN's topic in General Nursing

    My concern with the nurses who were sitting around is: they were looking around for something else for me to do. Sure, they are entitled to a break but not for a break every hour when I didn't sit...

  16. Anyone sick of working weekends????

    jaxnRN replied to IloveSnoopy's topic in General Nursing

    There are always SO many people wanting the weekend package (Baylor at some facilities). At our hospital they are usually snatched up so quickly that you would think management would make MORE of...

  17. Why do I feel so sad: f.u. to my post!

    jaxnRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Okay, I had posted a couple of days ago about switching my OB job (nights) to my office job ( M-F days.). It was with mixed feelings when I handed in my resignation papers this a.m. and spoke with...

  18. PLEASE help me decide!!! Job change!

    jaxnRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Okay, I will try and lay out the facts. Your opinions mean a LOT to me, being in similar situations!!! Here it goes. One year ago, I went from my office job of 12 years back to the hospital. More...

  19. PLEASE help me decide!!! Job change!

    jaxnRN replied to jaxnRN's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. I guess I just really needed to hear all of that. Thanks so much. I really love the department that I am currently working in, but after 3, 12-hour shifts in a row with one night off and then 3...

  20. Holiday pay, shift differentials???

    jaxnRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am really confused lately. Our hospital is not night shift friendly at all and I just wanted to run a few things by you and see what your opinion and response would be to these: 1. If we work...

  21. "Squeaky" nursing shoes! Help!!

    jaxnRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I ordered, tried on and then returned about 20 pairs of nursing shoes before I found a pair that fit good and felt great. I live in a small town and there are no stores nearby that sell shoes...

  22. Low-Census and you......

    jaxnRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Our hospital is smaller than most, and the past three weeks we have had such a low census. I work in the OB department, but low census affects everyone. I am cross-trained to the ER also, so if we...

  23. Low-Census and you......

    jaxnRN replied to jaxnRN's topic in General Nursing

    sjoe: I didn't mean to complain about not having any serious injuries. I work OB, not the ER, and I was just stating that to stress the point that I am flexible to work any department if needed. I...

  24. Weight gain on NIGHT shift!!!

    jaxnRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am so mad. Since I started my new job in OB, working 6p-6a I have gained (and this is not a lie) about 20 pounds in one month. I eat when I wake up: because I need a lift! I eat when I get to...

  25. Weight gain on NIGHT shift!!!

    jaxnRN replied to jaxnRN's topic in General Nursing

    We have a one floor hospital layout, BUT there is access 24hours to the weight equiment and treadmills in the P.T. Department. Only trouble with that is getting sweaty, the time it takes to change...
