    Ambulating post op day zero

    We routinely will see post-cesarean ambulating hours after delivery. Particularly if her infant is in the nursery, it's a big motivator. "As tolerated" is the key

    Should I do an RN to MSN?

    As someone who has gone through it, I would highly recommend doing the BSN first, then continuing on to an MSN if that is what you want. You may change your mind, you may have to take time off, you...

    Interview

    Try to be relatively succinct. Don't give one word answers, but try to limit your answers to a few sentences, if possible (unless they're asking you to tell them about a past situation and how you...

    Hope writing out the post made you feel
  16. Like I said in the OP, I was asking for a friend. It's not my particular place of work. But the rationale was that the bathroom is right next to desks where people work, and it stinks up the area, I...

    Fairness

    And to the department as a whole, rather than an individual nurse's needs and preferences. I TRY to accommodate a particular nurse's requests for "Please don't schedule me on Wednesdays" but, per the...
