  1. Possible to transition to L&D from PP?

    gypsyatheart replied to mandykatrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hi Austinsmom! Definitely go for it! There will be absolutely no problem transitioning over to L&D, in fact you are in a perfect position....you already have your PP skills, and are in the...

  2. Need advice/help w/bad situation!

    gypsyatheart replied to gypsyatheart's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That's just it...there is only the tech left in the nursery many, many times, when we go to a section! Plus, the level2 babies are in a different room than the admitting nursery, so if I get tied up...

  3. Just need to whine

    gypsyatheart replied to rondafan's topic in General Nursing

    Rondafan, I'm really sorry for your troubles, yeah, totally dumb thing to do, and you are for sure paying for it! At this point I would get any kind of nursing job, any hrs at all, just to get on with...

  4. Elective C-sections

    gypsyatheart replied to Altra's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Sorry, I have to totally disagree with you on this one! Again, more of this "drive-thru" healthcare mentality. Like someone else said "it's all about me"! A c/section is a major abdominal surgery, and...

  5. Nurses are not Doctors

    gypsyatheart replied to Plato's topic in General Nursing

    OK, it's truly clear that you have "issues" with NP's. Too bad, but not much is gonna change, so I would probably focus my energy elsewhere. Perhaps, one day, you too will work with NP's or CNM's that...

  6. Nurses are not Doctors

    gypsyatheart replied to Plato's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry but you seem to have a REALLY screwed up idea of "nurses" and how they are supposed to act, the type of work they should do and most importantly, how they should feel! Where do you come up...

  7. Nurses are not Doctors

    gypsyatheart replied to Plato's topic in General Nursing

    So what EXACTLY is the point of your post? That doctors and nurses are different disciplines? Yes, and, so....? This is nothing new. Most nurses don't want to be doctors. IMHO you sound very hostile,...

  8. Lotus births.

    gypsyatheart replied to dawngloves's topic in Ob/Gyn

    OMG...This whole thread is too much!!! I have been laughing non-stop, from the granola crunchers to the placenta eaters! Hey, maybe I have an "in" for a part-time job...roadside placenta stand? Nah,...

  9. New Traveller needs help w/recruiter!

    gypsyatheart replied to gypsyatheart's topic in Travel

    Wanted to give an update.... I called the agency that deals directly w/the hospital on these contracts and was told by the person who deals directly w/the agencies(my own included) that it is true:...

  10. New Traveller needs help w/recruiter!

    gypsyatheart posted a topic in Travel

    First, let me say that I'm not ultra-picky or difficult to please, am very non-confrontational, but I do feel that perhaps my recruiter is being less than honest w/me. Tell me what you think, if you...

  11. New Traveller needs help w/recruiter!

    gypsyatheart replied to gypsyatheart's topic in Travel

    Sure, I'll post the company...some may be surprised, b/k on the delphi TN&T forum it seems they have a "good" reputation, however I was privately e-mailed by someone that this company is notorious...

  12. Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month

    gypsyatheart replied to Burnt Out's topic in General Nursing

    What a wonderful tribute to our precious babies. I, too, have lost pregnancies (2), and my thoughts are w/all of you that has sufferred a

  13. medical documentation issue

    gypsyatheart replied to basha's topic in General Nursing

    I agree w/what Barb has said, I think you are being too hard on yourself. I do have a question, out of curiosity... So did you actually GIVE only 1/2 the ordered dose or did you just document...

  14. New Traveller needs help w/recruiter!

    gypsyatheart replied to gypsyatheart's topic in Travel

    Thanks for all your responses. The recruiter of this company is supposedly the owner/president of the company! So, I guess I'll be firiing the whole darn company! LOL Question is: Is there anyway to...

  15. Come On!!

    gypsyatheart replied to ainz's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, to a certain extent, with what you are saying. Pretty much echoes my own thoughts : Nurses ARE the largest body of caretakers in the hopital environment, it is OUR voices that should be...

  16. Coworker was fired yesterday.

    gypsyatheart replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

    Wow! I just read your original post, cotjockey, and all I was thinking throughout was OMG!!! This "nurse" sounds horrible! I am so sad for those patients. What if that had been your own grandmother? I...

  17. Rude Relative, advise please

    gypsyatheart replied to bulletproofbarb's topic in General Nursing

    In the past, whenever this type of situation has come up, (thankfully, not very often), the unit manager has sometimes had to get involved and speak privately with family members. They explain, in a...

  18. Want to travel, but scared

    gypsyatheart replied to seanymph's topic in Travel

    Hi Dawn! How are things going so far? I'm going to start travelling full time in a few months. I did a travel assignment last summer, and really enjoyed it. I, too, am scared to leave my familiar...
