  1. Ocala area hospitals

    BETSRN posted a topic in Florida Nursing

    A potential opportunity may come up for me to move to the Ocala area sooner than later. Any thoughts on the two major Ocala hospitals or any other smaller general hospitals in the commuting area...

  5. Who covers for antepartum when they are short staffed?

    BETSRN replied to breastfeedingRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    BETSRN replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Start as simply as you can. I take it you know what part of the fetal skull is the occiput. There is a right and a left side. For optimal positioning for birth, the baby should be head down and be...

    BETSRN replied to kcsun3's topic in General Nursing

    My such a past. You have done well. I,too, had a husband cheat on me and went through the whole divprce thing. But you know what? It was being a NURSE that got me through the whole thing. Thank God...

  8. Which nursing field gets the best job satisfaction?

    BETSRN replied to joli's topic in General Nursing

    Working in insurance companies is probably one of the most BORING of jobs! I have known several nurses who have gone that route and have come back to the hospital setting (or at least the outpatient...

  9. Will my first degree help?

    BETSRN replied to dettwiller5's topic in Nursing Career

    Usually, for an administrative position in nursing you must have a Bachelor's and a Masters ONE OF WHICH must be in nursing. At least that's the way it is around here in the

  10. How do YOU give a great injection?

    BETSRN replied to fromTeacher2Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I just go very quickly. That's what I was taught in nursing school. I get my site, touch their skin and say "one stick". As I say that, I hit them with the needle and I am done with the injection...

  11. Accelerated 2nd Bachelor Program?

    BETSRN replied to biobarbie's topic in Nursing Career

    Personally, I do not believe that ANY one year nursing program gives you the experiences you need. I never have and I never will. Once in a while we see these midwifery students (the three year...

  12. Traumatized by nursing - advice needed

    BETSRN replied to kcsun3's topic in General Nursing

    You go, Gerilou! I laugh about the Walmart thing ............ I know we all mention becoming WalMart greeters at times! I work on a wonderful unit (16 years in the same hospital) and we all have...

  13. Which nursing field gets the best job satisfaction?

    BETSRN replied to joli's topic in General Nursing

    That question is impossible to answer because we ALL like different things! If you work in a good hospital with safe stsffing, etc., then you will be satisfied if you are in an area that you chose....

  14. Traumatized by nursing - advice needed

    BETSRN replied to kcsun3's topic in General Nursing

    NO ONE can have confidence unless they are given the chance to build it. You have had two inexcusably LOUSY experiences and neither of them were your fault at all. Just hospital shop a bit and talk to...

  15. severe varicosities

    BETSRN replied to Jayla's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The call is her responsibility whether or not she has insurance. These people are always a problem because of the lack of healthcare thing. I am sur eit is not possible but could you help her secure...

  16. Central Florida hospitals

    BETSRN replied to BETSRN's topic in Florida Nursing

    I need a permanent job: preferably in L&D (materal/child health). I have sent you a private message.

  17. What exactly are AWHONN's guidelines for staffing?

    BETSRN replied to webbiedebbie's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Why would you need to do an assesment on a well newborn (or mother) more than once a shift? I would have to say that having done both kinds of nursing, med-surg patients are a lot more complicated...

  18. Differences between RN, CNA, LPN, etc.

    BETSRN replied to simao pt's topic in General Nursing

    Excuse me and no offense meant, but WHY do we waste our time answering these questions like the ones above. To the poster who posted the above.....you have a computer and the knowledge to look up...

  19. Pros/Cons of working in a Teaching Hospital

    BETSRN replied to JaneyW's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I,too, have always liked the autonomy I have. I have always functioned like those interns and residents. I always wonder what I would do if I didn't have that autonomy? It might be nice to NOT have it...

  20. Have I made a mistake?

    BETSRN replied to tryingtomakeit's topic in Ob/Gyn

    First and foremost, ALL new grads do NOT hesitate. You, personally, are hesitating. And no, not all new grads are given assignments that are the same complexity as those who are more experienced. They...

  21. New OB Nurses, Grads and Students, Please Feel Free to post your questions here:

    BETSRN replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Ob/Gyn

  23. seizures after delivery in mom with PIH

    BETSRN replied to lifeLONGstudent's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have never seen a seizure after delivery. We often do NOT even continue the mag after delivery, but we are a very laid back place. We see swollen feet (terrible swelling) after delivery (often just...

  24. Have I made a mistake?

    BETSRN replied to tryingtomakeit's topic in Ob/Gyn

    First of all, med-surg is not always a "nightmare" as you put it. Because of the acuity of patients nowadays, med-surg is as much a specialty as psych or L&D. At any rate, med-surg gives you a...
