    klone replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Two Snaps Up!

    klone replied to vintagegal's topic in General Nursing

    So is Vintagegal implying that we all behave poorly in the workplace, and admonishing us to do better? I guess I just don't understand the point of the OP. I don't even understand what the title...

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    Same, Max. So, so frustrating. Incompetence often goes without detection until....a mistake is discovered. Would you expect someone who has been a nurse in that specialty for 4 years to...

    Torn Between 2 Job Offers

    klone replied to Polo's topic in General Nursing

    I would go with the second one. Level II NICU is not going to be very stimulating if you're interested in critical care/ED. Your opportunities to see different things will be greater at an inner city...

    klone replied to purpdiam's topic in Ob/Gyn

    L&D is an incredibly difficult specialty to learn. The way you are feeling is entirely normal. It will likely be a full year before you feel like you're not totally incompetent, and even then, you...

    C-EFM Exam Prep Question

    klone replied to Tracy Windy's topic in Ob/Gyn

    What is an OB/Gyn ARNP? Are you in the US? Because in the US there are CNMs and WHNPs. Why would you need EFM knowledge as an WHNP, unless it's for NSTs in the clinic
