  4. What is considered a "busy" L&D unit?

    fsaav replied to fsaav's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thank you for all of your replies. Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that the nurses themselves are less "busy" depending on how many births. The hospital where I will be working after graduation has...

  5. What can I do to give me a better chance of getting L&D position

    fsaav posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'll be entering clinicals this fall and I just wondered if you could give me some advice. I would love to work in L&D. We have 3 large hospitals where I live and even though almost every unit...

  6. Nighttime concerns

    fsaav replied to CrunchyLaborRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm a student and maybe I'm completely clueless, but I always thought on L&D units that there was a doctor on the floor at all times in case of emergencies. Like what happens when a patient needs...

  7. What would you say?

    fsaav replied to Cuddlebugs's topic in General Nursing

    fsaav replied to misslo's topic in General Nursing

    I'll be starting clinicals this fall so I don't know much about any of this yet, but are you saying that staff taking extra precautions would be considered

  10. Student loans

    fsaav replied to curlysue82's topic in General Nursing

    That was also my concern and with 2 kids and a mortgage, car payments, etc. already, a student loan payment is not something that I can handle financially. I don't know if this would be helpful to...

  11. Patient's preferences during birth

    fsaav replied to TTE7's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree with what a previous poster said about The Bradley Method. I also wanted to experience natural childbirth but it's difficult and I know I wouldn't have been able to do it if I hadn't prepared...

    fsaav replied to RN prn's topic in General Nursing

    The person who I see for all my care is a FNP and she is always willing to give me advice about nursing school etc. One of the other women who works in this office with her (an OB/GYN) office is a...

    My school has 10,000 students. We have both full-time and part-time nursing tracts. The full-time has 48 spots open two times per year and part-time has 22 once a year. I don't know how many apply for...

    fsaav replied to tiffdeandre's topic in Texas Nursing

    I work for a small medical transcription company that has 5 employees and handles about 30 doctors, NPs, PAs, etc. All of us work from home. We pick up our work at the office in the morning, go home...

  16. Love Pregnancy, Hate Medical OB

    fsaav replied to chaun08's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    It sounds like OB probably isn't the best place for you to work. My philosophy is also the same yours regarding childbirth and that's why I know I need to stay away from hospital L&D when I become...

    fsaav replied to tiffdeandre's topic in Texas Nursing

    I know you posted this awhile ago, but if you're still interested I would be willing to share with you. I'm starting nursing clinicals this fall and have been a medical transcriptionist for almost 4...
