    want to become an NP in the OR, but can't figure out next step after getting RN!

    klone replied to bubbles42's topic in General Nursing

    Why don't you just get through nursing school and apply to positions in the OR? That's really the only way you're going to get into the OR. Most OR nurses eventually learn to scrub. And with years of...

    Public Health Certification?

    klone replied to kezzak1's topic in School, College Programs

    Wow, that sucks. I know of no schools that allow someone to take one class of a nursing program. That doesn't help you, but hopefully others here will learn from your mistake and make sure they do...

    Nurse Leader vs Manager- Identification

    klone replied to Ann.DNP.RN's topic in Nurse Management

    No, ours just say "RN" like all the other RNs (the little badge that hangs down below the ID badge). The ID badge itself has "clinical manager" underneath my name, but most people don't notice that....

    Ok to apply to multiple jobs in one hospital system?

    klone replied to atm327's topic in General Nursing

    I can tell you that as a hiring manager, when I learn an applicant did a shotgun approach to applications, it's a bit of a turn-off because I want to hire someone who really wants to work in my area...

    Are you doing these things on your L&D floor?

    klone replied to ksusn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    1. Hopefully they're getting a consent before collecting the UDS, and if not, they're not reporting the result to CPS or law enforcement, which would be in violation of federal law. No, we do not do a...

    Rolling Veins: A Quick Guide to Being a “Good Stick"

    klone replied to Krista Vaughan's topic in General Nursing

    As you just explained - all veins have the capacity to roll. Acknowledging that isn't implying that there's anything wrong with the person's anatomy. Saying "Sorry, I missed that because it rolled" is...

    Public Health Certification?

    klone replied to kezzak1's topic in School, College Programs

    What do you mean, you won't receive it? I'm not a California RN, but my understanding is that this is not something that is bestowed by the school, but rather something you apply for through the...

    klone replied to pensivern's topic in General Nursing

    Our unit is in the process of attempting to transition to 12s. Our unit is the last hold-out in the hospital. As easy as it would make my life to just say "everyone's going to 12s" I don't think it's...

    L&D nights vs. OBGYN office job

    klone replied to Mishl029's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I went from inpatient OB to OB/Gyn clinic and loved it. Loved the hours, loved the work, loved weekends and holidays off. It was a clinic that was part of a hospital system, so the pay was the same as...

    How do new grad Nurses that don't have BSN manage to survive this job market ?

    klone replied to Wannabenurseneko's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Consider relocating to a smaller community or rural area. Communities that are 1 hour+ from the nearest University BSN program, but that have a community college ADN program locally, are going to be...

    Psychology Bachelors Degree trying to become registered nurse midwife

    klone replied to foreag1's topic in General Nursing

    It's actually CNM, not RNM. (Certified Nurse Midwife) First, you would need to become an RN. Start there. Then, once you've been working as an RN ( ideally in labor and deliver), you can apply to a...
