  2. New Grad in L&D = Nervous!

    AOX4RN replied to Jennyfour's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Luckily you got a BS in Nursing, not in L&D so you can go do something else if you hate it. Good

  3. Could I be the only reformed misfit in nursing school?

    AOX4RN replied to KatePasa's topic in General Students

    Definitely not alone. I was quite a hell-raiser as a teen, almost failed out of high school due to sheer boredom following 10 years of elite sport resulting in multiple injuries... carried on into my...

  4. Personalizing Stethoscopes?

    AOX4RN replied to doublehelix's topic in General Students

    My neonatal Littman "went missing" from my purse inside the locked NICU in a major children's hospital in my county. Which means some loser on staff went into my purse to steal it. Strangely on the...

    AOX4RN replied to my4helpers's topic in General Students

  6. No sick adults please.....can I still be a nurse?

    AOX4RN replied to FLhusker's topic in General Students

    I'm a midwife and hated my hospital OB rotation. I don't know why anyone wants to be a L&D nurse! Peds was depressing with all the sick kids... anything from flu to asthma to infections to...

  7. What would you do for five weeks

  9. Anything you would do differently if you were starting nursing school again?

    AOX4RN replied to linzjane88's topic in General Students

    I'm going into my 4th semester of a 2-yr program and only got into the habit of READING and COMPREHENDING the book assignments as they came. I would gloss over them previously and get Bs on my tests...

  10. Did you ENJOY nursing school?

    AOX4RN replied to heartbeep's topic in General Students

    I love it! I've had great teachers, have made some good friends, and learned how not to sweat the small stuff. My advice is sniff out the people who are making a bigger deal over everything than...

  11. Interim Permit In Cali

    AOX4RN replied to alotssakitkat's topic in California Nursing

    Yes I know I need to graduate first. I'm asking exactly what do I need to get from my school, how to apply, and how to do

  12. Interim Permit In Cali

    AOX4RN replied to alotssakitkat's topic in California Nursing

    Sooooooooo, I will graduate in December '11. When should I apply for the interim permit? I need to get working as a nurse ASAP and take my test ASAP. What needs to be bundled in order to apply for...

  13. Midwifery. How does it work in the US?

    AOX4RN replied to iNurseUK's topic in General Nursing

    It could but what I'm trying to impart is lay midwife is an outdated term. You have provided a perfect illustration of the outdated terminology. Today, your example is uncommon. Not necessarily....

  14. Midwifery. How does it work in the US?

    AOX4RN replied to iNurseUK's topic in General Nursing

    We prefer the term direct-entry midwife to lay midwife. I am a direct-entry midwife (DEM) and my credential is called Certified Professional Midwife (CPM). I am licensed by my state's medical board...

  15. Got a job!

    AOX4RN replied to CrunchyMama's topic in General Students

    Congrats! IIRC, you're in CA... do you have an interim permit or something? Or did you already manage to get the NCLEX done since graduation? I'm in CA and will graduate in December and am...

  16. Student nurse tech job? Yeah right!

    AOX4RN replied to clucito01's topic in General Students

    I recently got an aide position in a hospital where I did a clinical rotation. Before the rotation was over I asked one of the shift managers what was open on the floor and was told what to apply for...

  17. Dating and nursing school: Is it best to date another student?

    AOX4RN replied to northmississippi's topic in General Students

    ... and the OP is assuming the class will be full of dreamboats and sexual attraction If my class were the last one left on Earth, I wouldn't count on us to keep the human race

  18. Letters of Acceptance to Golden West College?

    AOX4RN replied to M's mamma's topic in California Nursing

    Nothing is wrong with the teacher, she's very nice. The curriculum was way too broad to be meaningful to be applied to actual nursing and may also be due to the subject being of interest to other...

  19. 2nd day of clinicals & I feel like an idiot...help me gain some confidence!

    AOX4RN replied to pecanpies's topic in General Students

    I did that once when I was getting started as a clinic assistant years ago. You only do that once if you do it at all I added a little humor as I changed the needle, completed the injection, and...

  20. OB Rotations

    AOX4RN replied to ImThatGuy's topic in General Students

    In my experience as a student on a L&D unit, we can tell if you'd rather be anywhere else than with a student in this highly sought after specialty area The nurses at the hospital I was at were...

  21. Letters of Acceptance to Golden West College?

    AOX4RN replied to M's mamma's topic in California Nursing

    Yes and it was useless. Nice teacher, but the info was hardly provided in a way that could be applied to nursing. Take it at Cerritos College with -------- if you want it to be meaningful to your...

    AOX4RN replied to Vanessa3's topic in General Students

    I just took a per diem PCA job with a hospital I did a med-surg rotation on. They hired me knowing I'm a student and expect they will make adjustments to my schedule when school starts again because...

    AOX4RN replied to ImThatGuy's topic in General Students

    Yes we rotated through the nursery for the newborn exam skills and eye goo and IM skills check offs. I tried to get in the nursery and OR as much as possible to avoid labor sitting. I'd rather die...

  24. Question about Frontier school and accreditation

    AOX4RN replied to ssalulu's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I talked to Frontier about this three years ago and they said don't bother with a school not regionally accredited as a college or unaccredited by one of the nursing school
