    PinkPeony7 posted a topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Hi everyone, This may be a bit personal for my first post, but I'd really like to hear everyone's opinions. My fiance and I have been talking about when would be the best time for us to start a...

  2. UCONN Mbein

    PinkPeony7 replied to jells1026's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I graduated from the Storrs MbEIN program in Dec. 2008 and would be happy to answer questions. To answer some previous posts, I'm not sure if there is a preference for UConn students, but probably 3/4...

  3. How do you give your rhogam injections?

    PinkPeony7 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Today was my first day on the floor with my preceptor (yay!). We had a patient that needed a rhogam injection and my preceptor gave her a dorsogluteal IM. In school we were taught to do ventrogluteal...

  4. Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

    PinkPeony7 replied to jstuben's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    UConn doesn't care where you did your pre-reqs. Most people I know did pre-reqs at a community college. I was lucky and had all the pre-reqs, except microbiology. I was a biology major and felt that I...

  5. liability insurance

    PinkPeony7 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Knowing that I would be working in a highly litigious field as a new grad, I had expected to get some kind of liability insurance for peace of mind. Today in my orientation we talked about risk...

  6. Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

    PinkPeony7 replied to jstuben's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am a graduate of the UConn MbEIN program if you have any questions about it. What is nice about this program is that after you complete the accelerated year to become an RN, you are actually...

  7. Anyone REGRET going into L&D as a new grad??

    PinkPeony7 replied to emptybee's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Its probably a bit premature for me to give my input on this seeing that I just finished my third day of orientation today, but here goes nothing :) I am passionate about birth and women's health. I...

  8. Has anyone ever used a "High Acuity Nursing" textbook?

    PinkPeony7 replied to RN2B123's topic in General Nursing

    I think it is an excellent book. its very easy to read. Each chapter is divided into several sections. After each section there are 5-10 NCLEX-style questions over the previous material. Each chapter...

  9. I did alright on the ERI, will I be ready for the NCLEX?

    PinkPeony7 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took my acute care final today as well as my ERI exit exam. I don't know how I did on the final, but I did better than expected on the ERI. I scored 911 out of 1000 and was in the "superior" range....

  10. Any L&D nurses that wanted to be CNMs and decided against it?

    PinkPeony7 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm curious if there are any nurses here that wanted to be a CNM but decided it wasn't worth it for some reason. What were your reasons and are you happy with your decision?

  11. Any L&D nurses that wanted to be CNMs and decided against it?

    PinkPeony7 replied to PinkPeony7's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Any tips on how to not get trapped into being a "medwife" and to practice real midwifery? Does it help to be in a large practice or an urban

  12. Any L&D nurses that wanted to be CNMs and decided against it?

    PinkPeony7 replied to PinkPeony7's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My dad recently found out what a CRNA is and that is a lucrative field and constantly advises me to go that route. I can't see myself liking that role unfortunately. Also, after spending last week...

  15. I Want To Cchange Careers To Nursing Nut I Dont Know What To Do?

    PinkPeony7 replied to LoveNursing44's topic in Nursing Career

    It wouldn't hurt to at least talk to the admissions people at schools you're interested in and ask them what your chances are. You could also consider getting your RN through a community college....

  16. How long was your L&D orientation?

    PinkPeony7 replied to SewHeather's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'll be getting six months of postpartum, then L&D, and lastly scrubbing for c-sections. I can't imagine learning all of that in six weeks as a new grad. Good luck to you

  17. Sad and angry about what I overheard BUT NOT SUPRISED.

    PinkPeony7 replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    I wish hospitals understood that veteran nurses are necessary to teach and guide the new grads they hire. I was happy to see nurses of all ages at the facility I will be working at. I will be relying...

  18. Anyone worried about throwing up or passing out?

    PinkPeony7 replied to c18436572's topic in General Students

    This is lame, but oh well. I have been freaked out about ostomies since learning about them in lab. A friend of mine asked me a few weeks ago about how school has been so far and if I had any advice...

  19. New nurse & OB??? Is it possible?

    PinkPeony7 replied to OBGYN*RN's topic in Nursing Career

    PinkPeony7 replied to OgopogoLPN's topic in General Nursing

    I am about to finish school in December and accepted a job in labor and delivery working 4 eight hour shifts a week. I was looking forward to the 3 12's and the 4 days off, but in this department...
