  1. Anyone teach nursing school clinicals on the side?

    adpiRN replied to adpiRN's topic in Nursing Career

  2. Anyone teach nursing school clinicals on the side?

    adpiRN replied to adpiRN's topic in Nursing Career

    They pay by the semester too. $2,700. Is that good or bad? I didn't think about the extra paperwork. Definitely something to consider. I am nights PRN so if they want me to do a morning clinical...

  3. Labor and Delivery

  5. What do you think of this story?

    adpiRN replied to adpiRN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

  6. What are the levels of NICUs?

    adpiRN replied to jamisaurus's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    What confuses me is the hopsital I just got hired at has a level 3 special care nursery. Is that like a level 3 NICU but they just call it a special care nursery to sound less scary to

  8. Nursing and the Ebola Virus

    adpiRN replied to 0.adamantite's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The Spanish nurse getting Ebola terrifies me! If the disease is only bloodborne as they say, how did this health care worker get it? And the health care workers in Africa? I have to assume they were...

  9. Volunteering: small hospital vs big

    adpiRN replied to mreznik1's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I was a baby cuddler in the NICU at a large hospital. It was great and good to put on my résumé. But even though I felt like I got along with the nurse manager, when I emailed her during my job...

    adpiRN replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

  13. Does this sound like I got the job?

    adpiRN posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    adpiRN posted a topic in Pediatric

    My speciality is L&D but I'm interested in breaking into Peds. The problem is I have an almost 2 year old son and I'm an anxious mom and I know it would be very hard for me to see a critically...

  15. back to work after 15 months off

    adpiRN replied to jensfbay's topic in Critical Care

    We also moved states, right after I had my baby. I'm on the East Coast - the new job is in GA. In my interview it didn't seem to be a big deal that I had taken time off to stay home. I even let my...

  16. back to work after 15 months off

    adpiRN replied to jensfbay's topic in Critical Care

    I took off almost 2 years after having a baby and just got hired per diem in L&D (my previous speciality). I also wanted per diem for the flexibility. I'm

  18. shifts per week: 4 and 3 or 4 and 4?

    adpiRN replied to tarotale's topic in General Nursing

    I hated that mandatory 4th shift with a passion. I used to think I'd do all this OT, I think I did 1 OT shift the entire 3 years I had my full time hospital job. Lol. It's exhausting! I had...

  19. Terrified to return to work

    adpiRN replied to cangel120's topic in General Nursing

  20. What is Normal for New Nurse

    adpiRN replied to JollyMolly2's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have 3 years of L&D experience but I would still be terrified being the only OB nurse on the floor. I'm anxious just being the only nurse in the room during a delivery. Back-up is essential in...

  21. NEW GRAD JOB CRISIS!

    adpiRN replied to ah2829's topic in General Nursing

    As a new grad I went straight to the L&D nurse manager (when I was in the hospital for a clinical). She told me they weren't hiring new grads at the moment. When I saw an L&D job posting...

  23. Tell me about your L&D unit

    adpiRN posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    adpiRN posted a topic in General Nursing
