    klone replied to guest563546's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree with you that infection is not an appropriate dx based only on the patient presenting with PROM (and actually, it would be considered PPROM, not PROM). RISK FOR infection would be the most...

    They may also ask you about your ideas on growth, staff retention, quality measures. Good luck! I've had a couple of those. They're a bit

    How's the job market '16?

    klone replied to GreeleyRN's topic in Colorado Nursing

    It's hard to get hired in a hospital without experience, and many hospitals only hire new grads as part of their residency program. Typically, residency programs require a BSN. So, while I believe...

    Denver Health vs. Centura Health vs. HealthONE

    klone replied to gulfcoastRN's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Yep. Right now some manager positions have a $5000 signing bonus, something that is pretty unheard of right now in Denver. High staff and management turnover is a sign that things aren't a great...

    Sorry I can't be more help - my experience with St. Anthony's is in their OB departments, and I haven't worked for them in over 5 years. For trauma, Denver Health is considered the best in the area....

    A Headache is not an emergency

    We typically do not remove ovarian cysts. Women of child bearing age get cysts on their ovaries every month. Sometimes they are quite painful. 99% of the time they go away on their

    A Headache is not an emergency

    klone replied to Patient4life's topic in Emergency

    I don't work in the ED, but as part of my job of conducting the first OB appointment/history of newly pregnant patients, I would always scrub the patients' charts before their appointment. I have seen...

    Are there any gay nurses here?

    klone replied to Rocknurse's topic in General Nursing

    For me, it's simply because I am afraid by posting something, it might be seen as misappropriating emotions that, as a privileged white heterosexual, I don't want to do. I am grieving for the LGBTQ...

    Stanford Rape

    klone replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, I may have been conflating your post with the one who wished he gets raped in prison. I am appalled at the sentence he received. No, he did not show her any mercy. But we are better than he,...

    Stanford Rape

    klone replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    Because without mercy, we fail as a society. If we cannot rise above the knee-jerk reaction of "he hurt someone, so he should be hurt" then we are doomed as humans. We may as well just nuke the globe...
