    Work From Home

    I work from home doing case management/utilization review for a Women’s hospital and I love it. Actually, the case management is few and far between, it’s mostly just your. It’s the most stress-free position I’ve had in over 2 years.
  2. I live in Oklahoma. I'm looking forward to branching out to a different form of nursing. Can't wait to get started!

    Is starting at a medspa the best way?

    I am interested in doing the same thing. I just registered for a class for Botox and dermal filler training in March. Excited to get started! Tired of hospital nursing

    Postpartum Nurses being the Baby Nurse?

    I work in a level II LDRP and we are baby-friendly designated. Baby never leaves room unless absolutely necessary and for circs. All of our nurses have specialty of L&D or special care nursery nurse but we all do m/b. Any of our nurses can tr...
  5. I'm having a hard time with this because I don't work in a hospital, I work in an infusion clinic, and I've only worked here for 5 months...
  6. WOW!, Klone, 3/4 of what you do , I do as a charge nurse. I need to be paid more.

    Grand Rapids Hospitals

    I loved working for Metrohealth.
  8. We use Centricity also, our hospital system is Epic though. Vital signs interface but nothing else. We just switched to Epic in May but had Cerner before that. Same thing, no interfacing except vitals. At least with our package. I have used OB t...

    Advice for outpatient OB to inpatient

    I don't know about where you work, but everywhere I've been you can't get a prn position if you don't have any experience in that particular job. Such as, if you're looking to get a prn position in l&d, you have to have experience in that positi...

    Low L&D Census, losing hours. Does this happen often?

    We have on average 50 deliveries a month. So, yes there are going to be times we place a nurse on call. But those are also the times we welcome gyn surgeries. We are only a 10 bed unit. Now saying this, there are a few of us that welcome a day of...

    L&D nurse looking for career change?

    I left l&d and while earning my MSN in nursing management and leadership, tried PACU - 6 months. Hated it, I prefer my patients awake and not combative when coiming out of anesthesia, 14 months in an infusion clinic, job was fine, pay was way to...

    ACLS & circulating

    Neither place where I've worked l&d ( where we also have our own OR suite and circulate and recover our own patients) do they require ACLS. I am certified though because I worked a small 6 month stent in PACU, so just keep it up every 2 years.

    Hysterectomy question

    My two cents? A lot of the times our hysters don't even realize they are on the OB floor. They just know they are in a beautiful, brand new hospital. They never hear babies cry and they are being much better taken care of (if I do say so myself) t...

    Need advice--possibly failing orientation

    I'm sorry to hear that. Maybe try going back to a smaller hospital?

    3 weeks in L&D and wanting out

    Give it some time, especially if L&D is your passion. Stick with your preceptor, do what she does. You'll get more comfortable. Are you in a teaching hospital where there's at least residents and interns there on your floor all the time? I th...
  18. What makes you want to come to Oklahoma? Just curious. I'd love to move back to the Midwest.

    Nursing wages.

    For a new RN in OKC area it's about $20/hr.
  20. OA is done and passed, it's the PA I'm having problems with. I've spoken to my coworkers, I have an idea of the possible subject that I've sent to the course mentors to see if it is a good topic. I don't really have a supervisor. Well we have a bu...

    So excited!! After 5 years away from the bedside...

    That's funny, Klone. I did too. Started back in August.

    New grad in L&D. Are these things normal?

    OMG! No! Not normal! You aren't safe there (at least your license isn't) and neither are your patients. Protect yourself, find another position in another hospital.

    Best labor and delivery hospital?

    Where did you end up going? I hope you've had good luck.
  24. Or if you've completed this course, how was it? Which disease process did you choose? I am pretty sure I'm choosing depression.
  25. But I'm getting myself back on track today! I'm not technically behind, but I wanted to be finished this course sooner than this weekend. I'm working on C158 Organizational Leadership and Team Development. What did other students think of this cla...
