    attending non-OB conferences: a waste or not?

    klone replied to quazar's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It would totally depend on the subject of the conference. There are certain non-OB subjects I would love to learn about (mostly policy, theory, etc). Other stuff, I would be totally bored (cardiac,...

    A Fake interview; does anyone have one too?

    klone replied to MikeMSN-RN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with Beth - I look at every interview to be a great opportunity to practice. I've gone on interviews where I wasn't really interested in the job, and on a few interviews where I quickly...

    Best area of nursing prior to OB

    klone replied to nursewifie's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yeah, I actually agree with this more. If you want to work in OB, the best way to train you to be the best OB nurse is to work in OB.

    Nurse practitioner arrested in opioid pill mill

    klone replied to Hopefulpsych's topic in Nursing News

    Kind of a second-rate pill mill. I'd go elsewhere. 4/10. A couple years ago my dog was prescribed tramadol for his hip dysplasia. The vet was explaining it to me and I said yes, I was familiar with...

    New Manager Question

    klone replied to NewManager2017's topic in Nurse Management

    How would you secretly walk around? I assume your staff is aware you are the manager, yes? I would address it by intervening, ask to speak to the nurse in private, and then have a private counseling...

    Intro - New Grad Nurse

    klone replied to JavaRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Congratulations and welcome to OB! The most useful book I've found is called (I think) Mosby's Pocket Guide to Fetal Heart Monitoring, or something like that. It's a smallish soft cover book that's...

    On-call or cancelled? That is the question!

    klone replied to Eschell2971's topic in General Nursing

    Our policy is similar. Nurses are paid $4/hour for being on call. We don't cancel any nurses unless census is really low and we're putting 3+ nurses on call. We can put someone on call as early as one...

    In small or rural or isolated communities, you will be far more likely to find a NICU position with an ADN. Of course, there aren't very many small or rural communities that have

    Is 28 too old to become a travel nurse?

    klone replied to jchristine89's topic in Travel

    I'd be more concerned about having only a little over a year as a nurse under your belt. You're still a new nurse. I would wait until you've been a nurse at least a few more years before

    Is L&D or NICU experience better for CNM/WHNP?

    klone replied to JennaSnow's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    What would be your reasoning/rationale for doing a dual program? If you want to catch babies, then getting the WHNP would be redundant, because a CNM can do everything a WHNP can do, plus. The only...
