    Sexual Comment from Boss???

    Did you mean Splenda? :) I think Spiriva is an asthma medication. Unless you are allergic to dextrose, then maybe it would be

    3 Job offers- who should I choose?

    klone replied to tattooednurse26's topic in General Nursing

    I just asked two more APRNs, and none of them knew what an MDS nurse does or is. I'm sorry you find that disrespectful. I honestly don't know how to respond to that. If someone said "the nurse that...

    Getting needed clerical support

    klone replied to Oedgar's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I would tell them that it's their job as clerical staff to do clerical duties, the new provider needs the chart, and that I expect it will be done by the end of the day. And then I would walk away and...

    Higher paying facilities in CO

    klone replied to foggnm's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Denver Health and the VA are the best-paying facilities. With your experience, you can probably expect to make low $30s/hour. Colorado is low-paying, compared to neighboring states. I think I took a...

    Abortions performed in APU?

    klone replied to JMB612's topic in Ob/Gyn

    At our hospital, the high risk L&D staff (they are also the ones who staff antepartum) do all the OB and gyn surgeries. We have two ORs on the high risk L&D floor just for OB/Gyn

    Abortions performed in APU?

    klone replied to JMB612's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Perhaps I misunderstood the OP. I didn't interpret that she meant literally perform the abortion right there on the unit, but rather, that the nurses working in an antepartum unit may be taking care...

    CNM

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

    When I said "no call" I meant it's because there is always a midwife staffed at the hospital. They work regular 12-hour shifts just like the L&D nurses. When they're there, they're there. And when...

    CNM

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

    I would be happy to answer, but I recently learned that one of my colleagues has figured out who I am here. I will PM you, but don't want to go into great detail about what my job entails, in case...

    Abortions performed in APU?

    klone replied to JMB612's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Depends entirely on the facility. At a university facility at which I worked, they were performed very infrequently, and only in certain circumstances. The abortions that were performed were due to...

    CNM

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

    It depends entirely on the practice. If you have a private practice and work alone, yes. I know one homebirth CNM who does that. That would be a miserable existence, IMO. Most midwives work in a...

    Ex Employer Harassing Me and My New Employer

    klone replied to sonotguilty's topic in General Nursing

    They would feel the need to leave not because anything was WRONG with the previous company, but because they've formed a relationship with the nurse. But poaching patients, or doing anything to...

    Ex Employer Harassing Me and My New Employer

    klone replied to meanmaryjean's topic in Western Governors University

    My online MSN through WGU (not done yet, but will be done within a month) has been very well received. I have encountered NO stigma attached to completing an online program. In fact, the large...

    This is a placenta...

    klone replied to adventure_rn's topic in Nursing Humor

    Yes, placenta prints are a thing. So is placenta encapsulation. It takes training and certification and not too many people do it, so there's good money in it. I've toyed with the idea of doing it....

    Hmmm.....Losing Joint Commission Accreditation??

    klone replied to MendedHeart's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, JC pretty much has a monopoly on this stuff, and as a result, makes a FORTUNE. It's more work, but a lot cheaper, to use smaller
