    Have you ever had a Episiotomy or have knowledge about it?? Quick questions!

    VICEDRN replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I had one and I definitely agree that it was a good 12-18 months before I felt like me again! I would get these sharp shooting pains and felt, uhhhh, dry in the sex dept! Good luck

    New US Legislation Impact on Nursing Students...

    VICEDRN replied to Ravenx2012's topic in General Nursing

    1. I have no idea. 2. Socialized medicine, by the strictest definition, would mean the state both operates the hospitals and employs the people who produce the product (the care the patient...

    Will my nursing school be stressful? *Schedule for semesters included*

    VICEDRN replied to johnemmons's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing school is stressful from time to time but its partially a self-fulfilling prophecy. OP, tell us how you envision it and that will be your answer. You CAN do

    I live in Atlanta but I heard from another student who graduated this past May that Arizona has a better market for new grads right now. I believe she moved to Tucson. Sorry I can't help more. The...

    What do you all think about this? (SkepticalOB blog)

    VICEDRN replied to Guest321574's topic in General Nursing

    Don't you need two nurses to sign off on heparin? (kind of like insulin, morphine (at least to waste). I thought JCAHO says you need two nurses for that?! that's how I have seen it done. I really...

    What do you all think about this? (SkepticalOB blog)

    VICEDRN replied to Guest321574's topic in General Nursing

    If it gives you any hope, the students in my program do pretty well on the med calc tests. You have to pass at 90% and we usually lose about 10 out of 80 people the first semester. I think those...

    Need help with assignment ASAP

    VICEDRN replied to lilbutterfly1's topic in General Nursing

    Diabetes is not a nursing diagnosis! I would look at the NANDA list and think about what kind of problems your patient might have. It takes a little practice but you should be able to pick it up...

    absn or rn?

    VICEDRN replied to MadameFreckles's topic in General Nursing

    In this state, you have to take Community, Research and Leadership to get your BSN. These are all nursing classes so I would imagine that having a BA + RN would be a bit different then having the BSN...

    Everyone has a 4.0 GPA!!

    VICEDRN replied to NursingStudent5548's topic in General Nursing

    Newborn assessment isn't taught until OB/Peds so she wouldn't know newborn vitals anyway. Also, I just started my peds clinical and all of the nurses walk around with a small card behind their ID with...

    VICEDRN replied to NursingStudent5548's topic in General Nursing

    This is her first semester of nursing school? Ease up there, killer! She is not a NEW GRAD yet. (then maybe we can call her all kinds of stupid but I would probably laugh and think she is nervous) In...

    Emergency Nurse Relief Act 2009- Update

    VICEDRN replied to Ginger's Mom's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Its mummy, not mommy! As for the indictment of my sources, I am certainly not trying to turn this into rn2tobe's little research project. My point is that it does not take a genius to find articles...

    Professor accusing me of abuse through email !!!

    VICEDRN replied to carlasbizz's topic in General Nursing

    To clarify for the poster that thought it's not convenient for the professor to stay up until midnight: The system they are using probably allows the professor to automatically "release" an assignment...

    VICEDRN replied to Ginger's Mom's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Our version of fluency does not even come close to what Europe requires of us. In Germany, you have to speak German with practically no accent. Americans say that you either had to be raised by a...

    For the record, I just wrote to my congresspeople about this issue. I think American patients would do better with American nurses. This means culturally, linguistically and in every other way....

    The last line is a really good point. They keep those operating rooms hopping! What if someone really needs a section? My daughter was a planned section but she was breach and large for dates...

    really disappointed after my trip to the BON

    VICEDRN replied to picurn10's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for sharing your experiences with me. I learned a lot. I do agree with BOTH decisions. In Case #1, the BON had established boundaries with the nurse and then she broke them. (albeit with...

    judgemental nurses/students

    VICEDRN replied to k_r_ah's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for saying pretty much what I would have. Its important to walk the fine line between judgmental and not using judgment/being codependent.
