  5. Yikes, L&D Manager Fired...

    chiandre posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This is so infuriating and perplexing! In an executive meeting, a Nurse Manager defended one of his staff members. The Obstetrics MD accused the Labor and Delivery Nurse of insubordination and...

    chiandre replied to RN_Incredible's topic in New York Nursing

  7. Labor & Delivery

    chiandre replied to sgarcia14's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nursing school will NOT teach you everything you will need to work in Labor and Delivery. It is a great specialty. However, you need more training. I encourage new graduates to do at least one or two...

    chiandre replied to ceccia's topic in General Nursing

  11. Should male nurses put the toilet seat down?

    chiandre replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Could it be the docs or other male members of the unit like the housekeepers, etc? Why must we just assume that it has to be the male nurses? In our staff bathroom, the seat is always up. The nurses...

  12. When you are at clinicals

    chiandre replied to nowim clean's topic in General Students

    The OP is correct! I encourage my OB students to eat good breakfast because we do not stop for breakroom, breaks, lunch etc. We are with our patients during labor, during pushing, in the OR and...

  13. The Docs Who've Got Your Back

    chiandre replied to Music in My Heart's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  17. Not a nurse

    chiandre replied to VaBluebird's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The admiration is mutual. Without pharmacists, nurses will become "devils". How will we function if we have to measure, mix, stock, count, and label the medications too? Pharmacists

  18. Rude vs Mean vs Bullying

    chiandre replied to wooh's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    chiandre replied to paramedic-RN's topic in General Nursing

    As an Labor and Delivery nurse, the first day in the OR, I learned this important lesson, "No matter what you do, DO NOT drop the baby. My preceptor taught me this,"When it comes to accounting for...

  21. Handling rude co workers

    chiandre replied to TurtleN84's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ahhh...welcome to the hazing in nursing. The rudeness is because there is something about you that they are jealous about. When I started in nursing, one of the nurses came up to me and told me that...

    chiandre replied to RunBabyRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume
