    Any Nurse Manager willing to answer some questions?

    klone replied to bsngirl2015's topic in Nurse Management

    Since you're asking for your own edification, I'm happy to take the time (typically do not answer surveys/questionnaires for homework assignments). 1. Several dozen RNs, one LPN, several CNAs, several...

    Nurse opinions on "Birth Rape"

    klone replied to EKUGRAD's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Holy cow, there is so much wrong with this post that I'm at a loss where to begin. First, you have NO IDEA what my personal history is with regards to sexual assault, so don't EVEN go there. Second,...

    Only taking nursing classes first semester in nursing school

    klone replied to lorias's topic in General Students

    It's different for everyone. Everyone's definition of 'difficult' is different. One person might find 8 credits difficult, while another might have no problems with 16. We have no way of being able to...

    Blood Draws??

    klone replied to Nwhite4838's topic in General Nursing

    I would say that if you have any practice with starting IVs, you do not need a phlebotomy class. At most, I would see if there is a local lab you can contact to spend the day shadowing one of their...

    Nurse opinions on "Birth Rape"

    klone replied to EKUGRAD's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Perhaps the issue is less about calling it birth rape diminishing women who have been victims of sexual assault, but rather, NOT calling it birth rape diminishes the women who have experienced it,...

    I Inherited A Bully

    When I came into a manager position of a unit with which I had no history, I treated everyone as having a clean slate. Everyone started at square one with regards to disciplinary stuff (although you...

    LDRP RN Scrub nurses get differential?

    klone replied to wilsod's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Scrub or circulate? Not that it matters, I guess. I've worked at multiple hospitals and never have the nurses received a differential for being able to go to the OR. It was considered part of the job...

    Nurse opinions on "Birth Rape"

    klone replied to EKUGRAD's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Low L&D Census, losing hours. Does this happen often?

    klone replied to clarkb33's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I wish our facility went by date of last call. However, we're a union facility and call goes by seniority. Which means that most of the time, it's the same 2 or 3 nurses getting put on call all the...

    Nurse opinions on "Birth Rape"

    klone replied to EKUGRAD's topic in Ob/Gyn
