    Home births gone wrong

    klone replied to MNNICU, RN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    My second child was a planned home birth. There is a lot I want to say to those of you who say I'm "selfish" but it would get me banned. I might return to this thread when I'm feeling more rational...

    Bullying or Not? Rant!

    klone replied to skittlebear's topic in General Nursing

    My suggestion to you, and it's not going to be an easy one, is that you set up a meeting with her, in a private place, and with an impartial witness if necessary, to discuss how her behavior and...

    Does Percocet make someone itch?

    klone replied to tsm007's topic in Patient Medications

    Yes, as a nurse who has worked with women post-cesarean, narcotics often made them itch, particularly their noses. I had kind of forgotten about that until reading this

    Starting in February, no mentor assigned yet??

    klone replied to klone's topic in Western Governors University

    RN - MSN/Leadership I will let him know that might be what's causing the delay. He still hasn't heard from anyone. He's doubtful that his courses will be loaded by Monday.

    Vaccines

    klone replied to OBwonKnewbie's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I work clinic now, and I can tell you that once they hit 28 weeks, we offer it to EVERY pregnant woman! Flu shot too. When I do their initial intake and history, I also tell them of the importance of...

    I already miss you, WGU!

    klone replied to TheCommuter's topic in Western Governors University

    Just remember, that time will pass whether or not you are doing the program. That's what I always tell myself when I'm faced with "Oh my g-d, being done seems so far

    How do people feel about male nurses?

    klone replied to Natgurad's topic in Men in Nursing

    As much as I love the idea of more male nurses getting into OB/L&D if that's what they want to do, I'm trying to think how that would go over where I currently work (OB clinic). We see so many...

    TB question

    klone replied to tiny_dancer's topic in General Nursing

    Regardless if you had TB or not, you were treated, so it essentially wipes the slate clean. You cannot use the Mantoux or the Quantiferon to diagnose active TB infection. You must go by CXR

    TB question

    klone replied to tiny_dancer's topic in General Nursing

    But if she's had TB and has been treated, she will still test positive. It doesn't differentiate between tx'ed or untx'ed. At this point, the only definitive test would be

    What is MSN - leadership and management track

    klone replied to ArrowRN's topic in Nurse Management

    Uh, okay. Let's put it this way, it's hard to garner respect as a charge nurse when you're essentially still a new nurse,

    whiff test

    klone replied to cayenne06's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I remember when I worked in L&D and I worked with a midwife who was new to the practice. The mom had been pushing for a couple hours, everyone was pretty tired. The midwife was just sort of...

    whiff test

    klone replied to cayenne06's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    How sad about that provider's comment! How embarrassing for the patient. Regarding your last question - our providers bring the swabs to our lab to make the slides. They do put the saline into the...

    How do people feel about male nurses?

    klone replied to Natgurad's topic in Men in Nursing

    Eh, my husband doesn't mind. Funny, regarding the comment about men getting into nursing only to go into administration. My husband and I have been nurses for literally the exact amount of time. We...

    What is MSN - leadership and management track

    klone replied to ArrowRN's topic in Nurse Management

    Yes, NE-BC is a certification, not a degree. Being charge nurse is a good way of getting a feel for a leadership position, but I would recommend being a nurse longer than a year before volunteering...

    What is MSN - leadership and management track

    klone replied to ArrowRN's topic in Nurse Management

    What is a nurse executive degree? Are you sure you don't mean the nurse executive certification? Yes, the MSN-Leadership is very marketable if you want to become a nurse manager or director. If you...

    Confused about PTO

    klone replied to freckles23's topic in General Nursing

    What if someone wants to take a vacation in January? They're basically screwed. I've never heard of a facility that didn't allow you to roll over ANY PTO. One of my husband's employers, you could roll...
