    What is the Nurse-Patient ratio for L&D in South Carolina?

    klone replied to cschmenk's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It depends on the facility. All units should strive to follow AWHONN staffing guidelines, which is typically 1:1 in labor, unless they are cervical ripening, in which case 1:2 is

    Can a non-licensed allied healthcare professional manage a licensed registered nurse?

    klone replied to Jenny2001's topic in General Nursing

    The answer is yes, because at some point there is always going to be a non-nurse at the top. In my last 2 jobs as a manager, my immediate supervisor was a non-RN. At my last job, there were clinic...

    How did you get back to bedside after years in a non-clinical position?

    klone replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

    I am just this week back in L&D after 3 years being in ambulatory leadership. I kept up my L&D certifications and continued to do things like draw blood and give IM injections while in...

    I can't understand how compact licenses work!

    klone replied to Purdicialle's topic in General Nursing

    You can work in any compact state with a compact license. However, your compact license needs to originate from the state you currently reside in. If you are planning to move to LA, you will need to...

    Every organization is different. But yes, many organizations allow you to be employed with them from another state. You must have a nursing license in the state where the organization is located...

    How to deal with CNA insubordination?

    klone replied to thenursebabe25's topic in General Nursing

    You document every instance, and send it to your supervisor. It's not your responsibility to address performance issues, have coaching conversations, or provide disciplinary action. That is the job of...

    Insomnia, night shift, and 6 on???

    klone replied to PizzaNurse2023's topic in General Nursing

    When I was a new nurse 20 years ago, I did 6-on/8-off on nights. I was newly divorced, sharing custody of elementary-school aged kids, and this worked best for our custody situation. It worked well...

    Navigating a Career Crossroads in Residency

    klone replied to tcy12345's topic in General Nursing

    My motto is that it never hurts to interview. An interview is not a commitment. After the interview, you may have greater clarity about whether it would be best to stay put where you are, or if this...

    New Years Eve 2023

    klone replied to Erin Lee's topic in General Nursing

    Favorite - Christmas - in L&D, triage is always dead on Christmas. Least favorite - not exactly a holiday, but the switch between DST and standard time, and vice versa. It *** everything up,...

    Medication Route Error

    klone replied to OneRN50's topic in General Nursing

    Are you going to do anything about the fact that it is ordered to be crushed and swallowed, which is NOT how a SL med is supposed to be given? SL suboxone taken orally risks ineffective...

    You were told that they would change it. And that you should not worry. Why are you looking for something to stress

    Michigan: Max. hours allowed to work consecutively

    klone replied to HARLEYDNS's topic in General Nursing

    I can't find anything that limits the number of hours a person is allowed to work, which suggests there is no such legislation. The only thing I can find in MI laws regarding overtime is that it must...

    false accusations

    klone replied to stacydye222's topic in General Nursing

    So it's against hospital policy. That's different from being illegal. Agree with Beth - I chose my words poorly. You made the choice to engage in a power struggle. That never ends

    false accusations

    klone replied to stacydye222's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it's illegal for someone to take a picture of your badge. Did the patient have an IV? It sounds like you made the decision to argue with the patient's family instead of...

    Stupidly rounded up my GPA on my resume

    klone replied to sarahkate619's topic in General Nursing

    They won't care, I promise. They will likely not even pay attention to what you wrote down as your GPA. All they will take note of on your resume is that you are a new grad. I would not even draw...

    MBA vs MHA vs MSN

    klone replied to Kemarie97's topic in Nurse Management

    I would say that a BSN with either an MHA or MBA is ROUGHLY equivalent to an MSN in Leadership as far as opportunities. IMO the MSN will open a few more doors of opportunity for you. But the MHA or...

    If the sole purpose of getting your MBA would be to get into healthcare leadership/management, I would say save your money. You can easily get into leadership with a terminal nursing degree (what is...
