We keep them for four hours after any narcotics if they dont have a ride. They dont get their discharge papers if we dont see their ride on the unit. We also have cab vouchers we use.
I think if you went with FNP there would be more hiring options. My friend graduated with a FNP degree but works with in an OB/GYn office in a NP capacity.
I went into OB as a graduate nurse without any experience what so ever. It was a very small hospital close to where I was living and they were always having probs staffing. So i guess it depends on the hospital and how badly they need help. Orientati...
