    kmrmom42 replied to proudmommielpn's topic in General Nursing

    I hate closed toed shoes as they tend to make me hot and hurt my feet...would love to wear sandals to work...I am not covered with leather anywhere else, what difference is it if my feet aren't...

  2. Are male nurses welcome in hospitals ?

    kmrmom42 replied to kunal's topic in Texas Nursing

    However, if you are interested in OB I can get you in touch with an absolutely amazing male RN who is also an IBCLC (Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant). He is also in midwifery...

  3. Thinking of taking a phlebotomy class while waiting...

    kmrmom42 replied to SarasotaRN2b's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like a great idea to me! Personally, I worked as a PCA while I was in nursing school. I did complete patient care, put in foley catheters, did phlebotomy, changed tube feedings, did simple...

  4. Is this a joke? Please give your opinions...

    kmrmom42 replied to Town & Country's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting...the bigger and bolder font made me feel like I was being yelled at! It is interesting what an affect things like that can have. That might have been some of the reason for the negative...

  5. Funny things you have said but wish you didn't

    kmrmom42 replied to FranEMTnurse's topic in Nursing Humor

  6. Sterile Water Papule--have you ever heard of this?

    kmrmom42 replied to rnmi2004's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I saw lots of this used in CT where we had midwives. Here in FL no one uses it (but no midwives here either). When it worked it really worked well. But sometimes it didn't work at all. It seemed key...

    kmrmom42 replied to wonderbee's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I vote for the fact that you saved his life!! What a lucky boy to have such an astute aunt. I guess I should have qualified my answer to say that Harlequin's sign in a newborn is not considered...

  9. 25 Nurses fired for not working Frances

    kmrmom42 replied to Rudegal2020's topic in Florida Nursing

    It can be very confusing to people who do not work in the Florida Hospital system to understand all this talk about "Florida Hospital" as if there was just one. In fact there are now 16 hospitals that...

  10. What is Harlequin's Sign?

    kmrmom42 replied to wonderbee's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think you mean "stork bites". Harlequin's sign is a deep pink coloring on the dependant side of the body with paleness on the other side. This sign has no pathological significance. I have seen some...

  11. Advice on Birthing Tubs

    kmrmom42 replied to PegRNBSN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Here is my $.02 worth....be careful of the built-ins, make sure they are deep enough so that the water will cover the abdomen when the mother is in the tub, if it doesn't it won't get used much. As...

  12. to preceptors/nm's...what's your opinion?

    kmrmom42 replied to bruinsrbest's topic in Ob/Gyn

  14. Best Florida city?

    kmrmom42 replied to lmolvr's topic in Florida Nursing

    As someone who has moved to Central Florida from CT it was interesting to read your post. I have lived in New England my whole life, first MA then CT. There are things I love about Florida in...

  15. Florida Roll Call ......

    kmrmom42 replied to RNPATL's topic in Florida Nursing

    Thanks for the prayers Kim. I don't know how the BSN program is designed but I know that the first class I took toward my MSN was a pretty easy class that I could tell was designed for the purpose of...

  16. Florida Roll Call ......

    kmrmom42 replied to RNPATL's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hello, I moved to Florida from CT just last November. I got a lot of help from folks on this website as I made my decision about where to go. I live in Orange City and work at the BirthCare Center at...

    kmrmom42 replied to Bessie's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yes, Bessie, if you are there, I too would love to hear how things are going for you. I would like to ask you what the more senior RN's that you work with are doing about this situation. If you all...

    kmrmom42 replied to AmyB's topic in Ob/Gyn

  19. Is being an OB/GYN nurse rewarding?

    kmrmom42 replied to MAMIDE02's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hi Betsy! :) I miss working with you and I miss LDRP's but I agree with you and that is why I almost exclusively do L&D and not Mother/Baby. Although M/B is a nice break every now and then!...

  20. Question for L&D nurses about cervical effacement

    kmrmom42 replied to AmyB's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't have much to add to the replies posted here as I agree with all of them. But I am curious...what were you supposed to do with this case study? What was the question you were expected to...

    kmrmom42 replied to CLLRN's topic in Florida Nursing

    kmrmom42 replied to sunhill's topic in Florida Nursing

    I work at Florida Hospital-Deland and there are some evening shifts there on med-surg and on psych but the psych unit is very small so not much opportunity there I don't think. I work L&D and...

  24. Re: Florida's 1st prize in the "Salary Hall of Shame"

    kmrmom42 replied to CLLRN's topic in Florida Nursing

    I don't know about hospitals helping a spouse find a job, unless the spouse is also a nurse! I know that they do that for doctors but I haven't heard of that for nurses. They might stand on their...

  25. Re: Florida's 1st prize in the "Salary Hall of Shame"

    kmrmom42 replied to CLLRN's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hi Betsy, You should probably start a new subject thread for this if you want people to find it. I will have to get back to you with my thoughts on this subject as I am very busy today (putting a bid...
