    Nurses Who Smoke Marijuana

    LLLovely replied to NenaRK's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Actually, there are quite a few other medical indications including glaucoma and PTSD, but none of that matters. If your state, state BON, or facility prohibits it, then that's it. It can be legal all...

    OSU Medical Center - Nurse A/B

    LLLovely posted a topic in Ohio Nursing

    Is there anyone familiar with University Hospital and what the difference between Staff Nurse A and Staff Nurse B job listings are, other than minimum pay? I am considering moving back to Ohio and...

    OSU Medical Center - Nurse A/B

    LLLovely replied to LLLovely's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Not trying to sharp shoot, but is that a guess? I ask because if A was just for ADNs, then wouldn't it specify that in the job description and the same with B having a BSN as a

    Malpractice Insurance

    LLLovely posted a topic in Government, Military

    This isn't exactly military specific, but I couldn't justify putting it anywhere else. I have been in the military 18 years, albeit not all as a nurse, and have never had the need for malpractice...

    Malpractice Insurance

    LLLovely replied to LLLovely's topic in Government, Military

    Hahaha, I used to work at Womack. So glad I PCS'd. However, the way lawsuits against the government/military work is that the military/government pays, regardless. Unless there was gross negligence,...

    New OB nurse

    LLLovely replied to 04stan's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Somebody said this to me when I was getting discouraged as a new OB nurse and it was tremendously helpful. I have since passed it on to several people at work. The first 50-100 cervical checks are...

    wasting of narcs in pacu

    LLLovely replied to Jaesim's topic in PACU

    Our PACU has no spot to secure medications between doses. I suppose we could waste after each dose, but there is a lot of discussion at our facility about unnecessary waste. For example, Fentanyl...

    The youngest new mother's you've seen

    LLLovely replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The youngest I've seen is 14. She was just in last month. Turns out her step-father was the dad and they were having an affair. We think the mother knew, but once the teen admitted it to her PP nurse,...

    To the nurses who work on the Peds/maternity floor: what are the NA roles?

    LLLovely replied to chariot's topic in Ob/Gyn

    One hospital where I worked had CNAs. They did primarily VS, but we were a very busy unit and finally started making better use of the resource. So, in addition, they also did PP ambulation, emptying...

    What would you do?

    LLLovely replied to violet_violet's topic in Ob/Gyn

    What everybody else said. I'd probably cry when I got home after that

    What I want vs. reality

    LLLovely replied to busymommy's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think it depends entirely on the hiring climate where you live/work. That said, if I were hiring and I had two otherwise equal applicants, one who had LTC experience and one who had med-surg...

    Question about men in labor/delivery and nursery.

    LLLovely replied to jhyde17's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree with this. It applies to men and women. Our labor staff is comprised of about 32 RNs, a few of whom are part-time. Four of those 32 are men, all of whom work full-time. The only complaint I...

    VE prior to epidural

    LLLovely replied to guamba's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We don't have a policy on it, so it depends on the patient. If she is giving me signs that she is progressing quickly, I might do one before only to help the CRNA determine if perhaps an intrathecal...

    interesting article

    LLLovely replied to cayenne06's topic in Ob/Gyn

    * outcome* might be better, not income. Funny error though.

    interesting article

    LLLovely replied to cayenne06's topic in Ob/Gyn

    While I love it, this article is missing something that most providers require in their professional reading, references. And statistics. And peer reviews. And... Obviously, it is difficult to design...

    A Question about GTPAL (Pregnancy Codes).

    LLLovely replied to DJ Trance AZ's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This. The ONLY place that multiples are recorded as such is under the L of TPAL. It's usually still self-explanatory, unless a woman has more than one set of multiples, then you have to start asking...

    Join as BSN or as MSN?

    LLLovely replied to Delilah11's topic in Government, Military

    That depends. How long do you want to spend in the military? Can you afford to pay for your own grad degree? Are you sure you want an MSN that leads to advanced practice? Can you get an RN job...

    Any nurses out there in the military?

    LLLovely replied to luckynurse_1234's topic in Government, Military

    I'm an Army nurse, have worked post-partum and am moving to L&D, both by choice. After about six months on the PP unit, I was assigned as charge about once a week. The civilian nurses are not all...

    Inpatient OB RNC exam - am I qualified?

    LLLovely posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Does anybody know whether working AP and post-partum counts as experience for the exam? Nurses where I work who already have their RNC are saying that it does. The web site is a little vague on what...

    Not waiting here. Admitted a chronic HTN tonight at 36+6, at midnight the pit started for induction. She does not have pre-E, baby is fine, her pressures have been primarily borderline, but we're...

    MEPS date

    LLLovely replied to ATLRN0828's topic in Government, Military

    Prescreen is actually a very quick process, assuming your recruiter is experienced and the liaisons are doing their jobs correctly. I can't speak for all MEPS (worked in KC), but the medical...

    LLLovely replied to ahowe07's topic in Government, Military

    I agree with jeck. In many ways, I had more freedom when I was enlisted. As an officer in another branch before becoming a nurse, I had more autonomy and WAY more time off. Being an Army nurse will...

    Air Force Waivers

    LLLovely replied to docteri's topic in Government, Military

    All of the branches are slowing recruiting. FYI, your recruiter does not "make" waivers. Your recruiter requests waivers on your behalf and they get approved elsewhere depending on the nature of the...
