    Are there any travel nurse jobs for Unvaccinated Nurses?

    From critical care to Mother/Baby Unit?

    LibraSunCNM replied to MissM_RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I never worked true critical care, but I did go from an incredibly heavy surgical unit (floor and step-down) to Mother/Baby. My anxiety was super high at that job, and I could tell the physical toll...

    L&D vs CNM

    LibraSunCNM replied to Jordan1927's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I love it, I'm pretty much working at my dream job. The right jobs with work/life balance are out there, you just might have to move to find them. But CNMs are slooooowly growing as a profession in...

    Exemption Friendly Facilities

    LibraSunCNM replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    What's obtuse is posting about something controversial and then getting upset when people voice opposition to it. I haven't seen anything so far I'd describe as posting ad nauseam about anything, or...

    Exemption Friendly Facilities

    LibraSunCNM replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Why bring up a topic that you know people will disagree with you about, and then flounce out when they, as expected, disagree? If you don't like discussing things ad nauseam, why create posts about...

    L&D vs CNM

    LibraSunCNM replied to Jordan1927's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm a CNM who never worked as an L&D RN--I did med/surg and mother/baby. My goal was always to become a CNM, but I will say that working as a mother/baby RN *really* helped keep me chipping away...

    CNM School

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

    That's a tough one. I can see the appeal of getting all that nursing experience first and putting midwifery school on pause. But there's also something to be said for just pushing through school to...

    I’m Disgusted and Disturbed

    LibraSunCNM replied to angeloublue22's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry this happened to you, and obviously the patient. Be kind to yourself and don't hesitate to seek counseling to process this horrific event. I'm glad the EMTs are being reported, I hope...

    Where do you stand on "Nurses don't get paid enough"?

    LibraSunCNM replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    I also think it depends on geographical area. Many nurses in the union-wary South are making crap wages, but are told that the increased pay found in other states is evened out with increased cost of...

    CNM School

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

    Ah, gotcha. Yes, that makes sense and I agree. I really don't think you'll find too many employers who will completely turn their noses up at a new grad with ICU and LTC nursing experience, it's...

    CNM School

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

    I don't think you need to keep your ICU job while you're in school; one, because you don't like it, and two, because if you're able to not work and totally focus on school, you'll get more out of it....

    What have been your favorite gifts from families?

    I agree with fruit, I also always loved a bagel breakfast spread. And handwritten thank-you notes with specific examples of care you appreciated, and specifically naming the staff you appreciated, is...

    No conscience

    LibraSunCNM replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    If you haven't watched the HBO documentary about Theranos, I highly recommend it. In her case, my impression was that she was less a true sociopath, and more so an unbelievably privileged and highly...

    Working the floor after a job interview!? WOW!...

    LibraSunCNM replied to CritCareTech's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe I misunderstood then? Of course a PCT can obtain an EKG, I thought the OP was saying they allow them to "interpret" them, which made no sense to

    Working the floor after a job interview!? WOW!...

    LibraSunCNM replied to CritCareTech's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed, although it's perfectly acceptable for an applicant to shadow in interview attire, since they're not doing anything hands-on. That, and the big picture the OP described makes me think this...

    Bill Maher on obesity

    LibraSunCNM replied to Emergent's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    I have to say, this is why I loathe Bill Maher. He tackles a topic I agree with him on, but as such a condescending *** that I still end up wanting to punch him. If only it were so easy for a...

    Working the floor after a job interview!? WOW!...

    LibraSunCNM replied to CritCareTech's topic in General Nursing

    I mean, it was in the pre-interview email to bring scrubs so I'm guessing they do it on the regular. PCTs interpret EKGs? That's a new one. I'd run rapidly in the opposite direction of this...
