  1. breastfeeding gone wrong

    adpiRN posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    It was my first day on L&D today and my preceptor and I had a scary moment. The new mom was trying to breastfeed, though the baby was a little sleepy and not latching on well. So we left her in...

  2. breastfeeding gone wrong

    adpiRN replied to adpiRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree, there should have more instruction given to the new mom and I plan to learn from this and give all my patients lots more information, before leaving them alone. But the thing is, she wasn't...

  3. breastfeeding gone wrong

    adpiRN replied to adpiRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm a newbie to L&D and it all happened so fast, so I really don't know what it was. I think the problem was the baby was not actually feeding, just pressed up against the breast. If she had...

  4. NCLEX & Wedding planning help!

    adpiRN replied to Nastassja's topic in General Nursing

    I got engaged in December 2008 and graduated in May 2009. But I chose to have an 18 month engagement and am getting married in June 2010. A lot of that had to do with the fact that my brother got...

    adpiRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    My friend and I are supposed to start work at the same hospital in 2 weeks. Last week she got a call from HR saying they had to rescind her job offer because the position was "no longer available"....

  6. New York Presbyterian PHARM EXAM!

    adpiRN replied to janetrette's topic in New York Nursing

    Yes I am a new grad and I also had no luck online. I had two clinicals there - maternity and leadership in my last semester. So when I was there for leadership I popped down to the L&D floor and...

  7. New York Presbyterian PHARM EXAM!

    adpiRN replied to janetrette's topic in New York Nursing

    it's pretty much what they tell you it is. Study that book they recommend (though the test is easier than those practice Qs in the book) If you fail the first time, just study the print out they give...

  8. New York Presbyterian PHARM EXAM!

    adpiRN replied to janetrette's topic in New York Nursing

    It depends when they want you to start. There's an August 17th start date, but I'd assume that'd be cutting it close and they'd prefer you start in September, or later. They recommend 2 weeks to...

    adpiRN posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I start my first job in L&D in a few weeks! My mom has a friend who used to be an L&D nurse at the same hospital and now she teaches childbirth education classes, so she offered to let me sit...

  11. time-off to raise children

    adpiRN replied to adpiRN's topic in General Nursing

    thanks for all the responses. It's so hard to tell how I'll feel in a few years since I haven't started my job yet and I also haven't had a baby yet. But I guess I'm leaning towards per diem or...

  12. time-off to raise children

    adpiRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm about to start my first nursing job and I plan to have children in about 3 years. I've always thought I'd like to take off a few years from work when my children are young and then go back when...

  13. renewing license

    adpiRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I just got my license number and noticed that it expires in 3 years. How do you renew? Just send in a check? Do you need to have a certain number of continuing ed hours? Do they send you reminders...

  14. there are so many specialties I'm interested in!!

    adpiRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm a new grad and am excited and also overwhelmed by all of the different areas I'm interested in. My number 1 love is maternity nursing, and my first job will be in L&D and I'm really excited....

  15. NP salaries vs RNs

    adpiRN posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Does anyone know what FNPs tend to make working at those clinics at Walmart or CVS? Is that generally considered a high-paying or low-paying FNP position? I think it seems like a neat job and am...

  16. Nursing Student needing Career Advice!

    adpiRN replied to ylimeyh's topic in Nursing Career

    I'd say start as early as possible to get your pick of jobs, especially if you want a speciality, and be able to start as soon as you can, if that's important to you. I graduated in May and started...

    adpiRN posted a topic in New York Nursing

  18. extra shifts

    adpiRN posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm going to be working in L&D for my first job. It's possible I may want to pick up extra shifts for extra money (though I'll see how i feel with 3 days a week at first! maybe it'll be enough!)...

    adpiRN replied to adpiRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I asked my Kaplan instructor and she said morphine. "Morphine is a very high priority because it vasodilates and allows the oxygen to get to the heart tissue. So oxygen alone is not good enough. A...

  20. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

    adpiRN replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    How long does it usually take to say that? It's been 8 hours and that seems like a lot longer than it's been for other people. I hope nothing went wrong with the processing of my test! I hate this...

  21. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

    adpiRN replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I want to try the trick, but it won't let me! (or maybe it's still too soon). It's 7 hours after my test time and it still says "ready for delivery". Do I have to wait until it says "delivery...
