    Patient types on postpartum units

    klone replied to KKRJJ's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm pretty sure that AWHONN's paper on staffing guidelines does address this issue. When I'm in the office on Monday, I will look it up. It definitely makes it more challenging to staff appropriately...

    Patient types on postpartum units

    klone replied to KKRJJ's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The recommendation is that OB/mom/baby should be a "clean" unit. As such, it precludes a lot of med/surg patients. You would essentially need to have TWO med/surg units - one for "clean" patients, and...

    Kudos/Patient Compliments

    klone replied to Nnurse3030's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Oh, wow. That's awful! I will post all survey comments for staff to read. The exception is that if there is a negative comment that mentions someone by name, I delete that out. It's inappropriate and...

    Do I share my medical history as part of my story to become a nurse?

    klone replied to LeviY's topic in General Nursing

    I've never had a physical as part of a job application/onboarding. The closest thing I've come is that they made me lift 20 lb boxes and carry them back and forth down a

    Pumping at work

    By law, the OP can request a private room that has a lock and is shielded from view of coworkers and other people. What she describes does not meet the criteria set forth by law, although it sounds...

    Do I share my medical history as part of my story to become a nurse?

    klone replied to LeviY's topic in General Nursing

    You can't "activate FMLA" until you've been there at least a year, and without actual ongoing medical issues that you or a family member are dealing with. The OP is in remission, and it does not...

    Pumping at work

    klone replied to newmom17's topic in General Nursing

    A) What on G-d's green earth does sexuality have to do with feeding one's baby? 2) Are we supposed to shield the world from babies and anything related to them because someone once may have lost one?...

    ESRD RN to L&D

    klone replied to Potats's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Are you referring to a WHNP (women's health nurse practitioner)? If so, that is not L&D. They provide prenatal care and women's care (typically in the clinic setting), but not care in the...

    ESRD RN to L&D

    klone replied to Potats's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Have you done any research in this, or what exactly did you have in mind? There really isn't an NP in L&D. There's a nurse midwifery program/CNM certification. Other than that, there aren't any...

    What are you hoping to do with your RN? I think an entry-level Master's program is a waste of money if you're hoping to work as a bedside nurse. And I think that it's foolish if your goal is to work...
