    Between a Rock and a Hard Place

    LibraSunCNM replied to StillSearchingRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have no real advice but I'm so sorry you're going through this. I can't imagine working somewhere where you get penalized for coming into your scheduled shift and then being sent home (I assume you...

    Call from Risk Management to speak with Attorney

    LibraSunCNM replied to snickers17's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, I personally would feel comfortable talking to the hospital lawyer first, but I've only ever worked at hospitals that were supportive and/or provided their own malpractice insurance, so by...

    Call from Risk Management to speak with Attorney

    LibraSunCNM replied to snickers17's topic in General Nursing

    I would call Risk Management back and ask them exactly that---why aren't you meeting with the hospital's attorney

    CRNAs Should Not be Allowed to Practice Independently - One Anesthesiologist’s Opinion

    LibraSunCNM replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    But that's not what we're talking about. Not requiring physician oversight doesn't mean that collaboration never occurs---this is a common misconception. I am a CNM. I cannot do my job without...

    CRNAs Should Not be Allowed to Practice Independently - One Anesthesiologist’s Opinion

    LibraSunCNM replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    But why is physician oversight necessary if the evidence shows that it isn't required, because CRNAs give safe, effective

    Unsafe Nurse Residency

    LibraSunCNM replied to Nikkib0911's topic in General Nursing

    Look around for another job. If you can find one, leave. This one sounds awful. If you can't, stick it out till 1 year and more doors will probably open

    NP job wants my Medicare number, but I have only worked as RN.

    LibraSunCNM replied to myoglobin's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You can apply for a provider ID number through CMS. You don't have to wait until your NP job gets you enrolled for Medicare

    "He's Okay"

    LibraSunCNM replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I love that commercial. I've definitely had some doctors that I wanted to warn patients against, but that was working in postpartum where by the time I actually got the patients, they'd already had...

    NP job wants my Medicare number, but I have only worked as RN.

    LibraSunCNM replied to myoglobin's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    No, you're not wrong, RNs definitely do not bill for their services so you wouldn't have an ID with CMS. Is it possible they're asking for your CMS ID number as an

    Level I nursery doing a level II job?

    LibraSunCNM replied to AriRN33's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It sounds like one of two things needs to happen to maintain safety: 1.) they need to properly train and staff you to care for these sicker neonates, which may include training the LDRP nurses to do...

    Leaving before 1 year? Don't know what to do..

    LibraSunCNM replied to Birdsofprey's topic in General Nursing

    It probably doesn't seem like it, but this hellhole will soon be a faint memory for you and you can always look back on it with pride for what you survived there. It will have helped you grow...

    Help w/job decision?

    LibraSunCNM replied to ivyleaf's topic in General Nursing

    No problem. I totally understand being torn. I've just learned over the years that the grass isn't always greener at a new job, and things like a longer commute and having to borrow from your...

    Help w/job decision?

    LibraSunCNM replied to ivyleaf's topic in General Nursing

    I remember your last post and I still stand by my opinion---I would stay at your current job. Between the loan repayment and the need to get your BSN, the salary increase at the new job will still...

    CNM School

    LibraSunCNM replied to amberella123's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I think the issue of more students coming in than clinical sites is a problem at every program, unfortunately. I have precepted students from Frontier as well as NYU, Columbia, Yale, and Vanderbilt,...

    Side hustle?

    LibraSunCNM replied to steffyh's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What great ideas! I remember my frustration with how minimal the practice materials were for the CNM certification exam. ACNM has since upped their game and has a lot more available for purchase,...

    No One Understands

    LibraSunCNM replied to AlmostThere19's topic in General Nursing

    I'm seeing a lot of "I have to," for a 23 year old adult professional. Perhaps it's time to reconsider living with your parents and the dynamic it creates between

    Leaving before 1 year? Don't know what to do..

    LibraSunCNM replied to Birdsofprey's topic in General Nursing

    All I can say is I'm sorry, for both you and the patients actually. That should be criminal. You are definitely learning how to prioritize! If you can mentally/physically make it, try to press on...

    Deciding to take a new job? Outpatient CM job w/more flexibility vs hospital CM

    LibraSunCNM replied to ivyleaf's topic in General Nursing

    I get what you're saying, and that's tough. The idea of 2.5 additional years in a workplace that's just OK, essentially, could be less than appealing. I do still agree, though, that if you can get...

    Deciding to take a new job? Outpatient CM job w/more flexibility vs hospital CM

    LibraSunCNM replied to ivyleaf's topic in General Nursing

    Based on what you've described, I would stick it out at your current job so you don't have to pay back your loans. I would never get myself in a situation where I needed to take a large chunk out of...

    LibraSunCNM replied to EmIly Grace's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree, I worked in Mother/Baby for 3 years and it was less stressful than Med/Surg, in that my patients were more stable, but I HUSTLED. Usually 4 couplets, sometimes a group of 6-7 couplets with...
