    Should Obama care be repealed?

    klone replied to luv2's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with AliNajaCat. Having worked for the largest safety net hospital network for several years in a large urban community with a disproportionate refugee population, I can say from firsthand...

    Question about research

    klone replied to Keofae4's topic in General Nursing

    To be fair, a lot of qualitative research is done through anonymous survey. It's a totally acceptable and accepted research methodology. For QUALITATIVE studies. So, in answer to your question about...

    Moving to Ft. Collins, have some questions

    klone replied to veriteblesse's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Poudre Valley was bought out by UCH a few years ago. I would think that with 3.5 years experience, you should not have any difficulty finding a job. Other hospitals to look at would be McKee Medical...

    Emotionally unbalanced supervisor?? Please help!

    klone replied to Cola89's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You had received feedback prior to December 8, when you started that last thread, no? That was six weeks ago, and you said you've only been at this job a few months. So it sounds to me like you...

    klone posted a topic in General Nursing

    Of course, this post will ruin it. But the last post I made before this one, I had 11,111 posts, and 26,666 likes. That's about as exciting as when you get to 100,000 on your car's odometer.

    New Process Admitting Couplets... HELP!!!

    klone replied to puddles11's topic in Ob/Gyn

    BTW, the research indicates that delayed bathing is best. It would be ideal to postpone that first bath until several hours later. So that might be one option - the couplet nurse can admit the mom,...

    New Process Admitting Couplets... HELP!!!

    klone replied to puddles11's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Why doesn't the nursery/transition nurse admit the baby, and then transfer care to the m/b nurse afterwards, when mom and baby are both stable and baby is done with all admission stuff? BTW, 6...

    L&D shadowing interview coming up!

    Congratulations!! How do you feel about working in M/B instead of L&D? How many births does the hospital have? What did you like about the unit you were hired

    Tattoos

    klone replied to nicolereynen's topic in General Nursing

    Depends totally on the facility. Past facilities I've worked at have had rules from "no visible tats" to "can have up to two tats, no larger than 1" square". My current facility has no policy and many...

    Anyone know anything about American nurses working in Mexico?

    klone replied to klone's topic in International Nursing

    And I haven't moved to Mexico! Dang, this thread never dies. We still want to move to somewhere in Central America, but when we do, it will be as retirees, and will most likely be to Nicaragua. So we...

    CNM programs that allow you to practice if you're already a CPM

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

    It was my understanding that once you receive your RN degree, you must give up your CPM, because you would be essentially working as a midwife with only an RN, which is against RN scope of

    There are lots of us here who are WGU alumni. There is a forum here specifically for WGU students. Unless they've changed it in the last year, the online program is pass/fail. But it hasn't affected...

    You sure it's 5, not 50? Effacement is always the second number, and it's always expressed in percentages (unless it's "thick"). Unless this is a weird shorthand and they just drop the zero? So 2-3...
