    HELP!! Cant figure out what I wanna do!!

    klone replied to Jordan1927's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a little tired of your flip-flopping too, tbh. You've worked 4 jobs in 3 years. As my wise old dad once said, "Wherever you go, there you are." The one common denominator in your...

    Can hospitals require you to do "extra" on-call shifts?

    klone replied to Overtime Mom's topic in General Nursing

    There are some communities where that would literally be impossible. I was the manager of an OB unit at a hospital in a community of 15,000 people. Nearest city with a larger population than that was...

    Have you ever missed a supervisor so much that you were unable to work with your new supervisors?

    Can hospitals require you to do "extra" on-call shifts?

    klone replied to Overtime Mom's topic in General Nursing

    One of the reasons why I quit my director job after a year at a for-profit hospital (they weren't for-profit when I took the position - they were bought by a large for-profit based out of TN literally...

    Can hospitals require you to do "extra" on-call shifts?

    klone replied to Overtime Mom's topic in General Nursing

    Some specialties need that call that is totally unnecessary in other specialties. Generally, those with unpredictable censuses really need to have call shifts in order to function safely and remain in...

    Fake Nursing School Scammed Me

    Georgia law prohibits DNPs from using the term "doctor"

    klone replied to klone's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Wow, I'm really surprised by your take on this. Generally I agree with the stuff you post, but I gotta say, I think you're overly harsh. FTR, this legislation applies to even nurses who "earned" their...

    Have you ever been "ghosted" by an employer after accepting a job offer?

    klone replied to Peachpit's topic in General Nursing

    I got ghosted once, sort of after a job offer. I was trying to get out of inpatient and was just applying everywhere. I applied at an infusion center, and had an interview that went fair. After, I...

    OB help with fetal strips

    klone replied to Cc7172's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Not exactly. A late decel is defined as a GRADUAL decrease in fetal heart rate. Gradual is defined by NICHD as at least 30 seconds from onset of decel to its nadir. With that in mind, does that...

    ABSN vs MSN-CNL

    klone replied to Missgirl28's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did it the long way: ADN->BSN->MSN. There was 10 years in there between my first degree and my last degree. I chose the MSN in leadership because I had decided that I wanted to see my career...

    Multiple Board Certification - Is it worth it??

    klone replied to JzK CCRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have 4 specialty certifications (RNC-OB, C-EFM, C-ONQS, IBCLC). It looks impressive (or ridiculous, depending on your viewpoint) on a resume, but mainly I did it for myself. My current employer...

    I'm confused. If it's all being done over the phone, and the NOK isn't actually signing anything, what exactly are YOU signing, and why can't the physician do it at the time they speak to the family...

    EFM certification advice

    klone replied to Specialscar's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Sounds like the OP is an WHNP, not CNM, and it's required for NSTs in clinic. Overkill and a completely unreasonable requirement, if you ask me. Even inpatient L&D RNs, who literally manage EFM...
