1. Life after 4510...

   Guest321574 replied to Guest321574's topic in Ohio University

   I still think it's more writing than even a 15wk course, nevermind the time factor. Again, I've never written 4 papers in one regular length class... Given I've already paid for it, I'm going to try...

2. Life after 4510...

   *sigh* :-(

3. Life after 4510...

   Guest321574 replied to Guest321574's topic in Ohio University

   Thanks for the reply... So does that mean that all (or most) of the classes have a paper due for 4 out of 5 weeks? I can understand one or two, but 4 papers in a 5wk class seems like overkill. I have...

4. Life after 4510...

   Guest321574 posted a topic in Ohio University

   Please tell me that the writing load gets easier after 4510. Even just hearing that it gets slightly better would help. I simply cannot write a 3-4 page paper every week for the next

5. RNC in Maternal/Newborn Nursing

   Guest321574 replied to glamgalRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Hey Glamgal, welcome back, do you remember me? Sorry I can't answer your question, I just think it's funny, because I'm here looking up the same info, on the RNC process. I'm coming up on 1yr in...

6. IV fluids during labor

   Guest321574 replied to L&DMomof3's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I'm new (4months into orientation) to L&D. Coming from a short stint in med/surg (everything on a pump) and psych (what are iv's?) I was kind of in shock to see everyone running stuff to...

7. Maybe you guys can answer this.... (Kind of long, sorry!)

   Guest321574 replied to Christy1019's topic in Ob/Gyn

   The stringy description could just have been from the blood mixed with the fertile cervical mucous, since it resembles egg whites, and "stretches." Perhaps she was having her period, and it caught...

8. Psychiatric nursing... do you really lose all your nursing skills?

   Guest321574 replied to lilmoongoddess's topic in Psychiatric

   You will lose some "skills" as others have said, but you will gain many others that will translate well to the ER. Thinking and acting quickly in an emergency, is a big one that I can think of. Time...

9. Another Philadelphia thread: RN hiring and degree requirements

   Guest321574 replied to anotherone's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

   Main Line Health does not require BSN for experienced nurses. I was hired there last month, with no BSN. Was told in the interview that it will possibly be a future requirement, so I should be...

10. HELP!!! I'm a med-surg/tele nurse who wants to get into maternity nursing.

    Guest321574 replied to leila83's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I hear ya, me too! If you can find an email address, you can send your resume/interest letter that way. Or if you just have a name, sometimes you can puzzle out the email address, just by looking at...

11. HELP!!! I'm a med-surg/tele nurse who wants to get into maternity nursing.

    Guest321574 replied to leila83's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Try expressing your interest to managers directly, not just HR. Usually HR ends up as a hindrance as they have so many apps to sift through. Though you will eventually have to go through HR, the...

12. Air in IV line

    Guest321574 replied to beatrice1's topic in Patient Medications

    Thanks, that makes sense. And regarding rational/rationale that was a typo, or perhaps my phone auto-corrected without my noticing. I swear I can spell!

13. Air in IV line

    Guest321574 replied to beatrice1's topic in Patient Medications

    I've had trouble similar to the OP, and generally the air sets the pump off. So that would mean the bubbles are significant right? Also what is the rational for not aspirating in these cases? That...

14. Really sad :(

    Guest321574 replied to NOLAmommy3's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This. I totally can relate to your what you are saying. After working as an aide in L&D in school, I wasn't able to secure a position on the unit, and ended up taking a position in psych 5 mo...

15. From ED to Mom Baby or L+D

    Guest321574 replied to Denise81's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I was lucky to get hired with "other experience." One (the job I'm taking) was mainly because I already had an established relationship with the manager. But the other job I got purely out of the...
