OBGYN*RN

Hello All, I'm a new grad RN on an ortho/med surg unit. As everyone knows nursing jobs for new grads are SO HARD to come by and the only position they had available was a night shift position (which I'm not complaining about I'm just thankful to have...

Hello all! So after wanting to be an OB nurse ever since the beginning of nursing school my dream finally is coming true! I wasnt able to go right into OB after receiving my license because there were NO positions, I could barely find any jobs, let a...

Well, I was in a similiar situation about 2 months ago. I too am a new grad and was told by my hospital I would get a longer orientation. I thought I was getting 8 or 9 wks and ended up getting 6wks. I spoke with my nurse educator and they did explai...

I'm in my senior year of nursing school (BSN program) and I absolutely LOVE OB nursing. I have never enjoyed a clinical rotation as much as I did my OB one. Loved studying the coursework..loved my hours in the hospital during my rotation I love it al...

you will by no means remember everything. but there are serveral meds that are common knowledge and you will see so often in the field as a nurse that you will know side effects...complications..dosages etc without even really knowing that you know i...

hello mctavishcat, to answer your question I will first say that nursing school is hard..its challenging and takes a lot of time and dedication but its so worth it in the end. I am living proof that it can be done. Theres been times when ive lost sle...

No problem Sand Dollar.. I'm glad i could be of help to you and everyone else. I know what it feels like to be entering nursing school and have soooo many questions and concerns. So im glad to help you. Now for your question...A&P is important..t...

For the hep B...I believe you have to have all 3 (the series) by the time they ask for your shot records. I know we had to. But I would call to ask and check with them to find out the details. As long as you have had 1 or 2 of the shots they might ju...

Im just so excited to be finished with Peds and ready to start my last semester of my senior year that I had to make a post about it lol. Even though I love children and the clinical for peds was really easy...the class itself was difficult. We had t...
