    BabyLady replied to Lola77's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Good

  2. Actual review of your NCLEX-RN exam

    BabyLady replied to paulfarb's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yes, it is legal. The SCORE belongs to you...which they sent to you. The QUESTIONS belong to them. That is why they can

  3. Does the Pearson Vue trick work? 911

    BabyLady replied to 7Laquisha's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    ...but were the results "delivered" when you did this? seriously...if they were not, then the pvt is not accurate...and you got a message very different from what other people are getting (you got...

  4. Does the Pearson Vue trick work? 911

    BabyLady replied to 7Laquisha's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    She is incorrect...the results ALWAYS post on Pearson before you BON issues a license number. That is because Pearson has to determine a pass or fail and the BON has to get that information first...

  5. Question regarding MSN-Nurse Educator options

    BabyLady posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I have been looking at some MSN-Nurse Educator options and I am rather surprised at the differences between the programs...drastic differences. One of the programs I am looking at does not have an...

    BabyLady replied to dorkalicious's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Know blood gasses....inside and out. They take these alot in the NICU. Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome...this is the medical term for "drug babies"...some areas get these more than others, my facility...

  8. Does the Pearson Vue trick work? 911

    BabyLady replied to 7Laquisha's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Unless in your results section, you saw the words DELIVERED, it IS NOT accurate. I can tell you now, you got the wrong message...not the pass or fail message, but that the results were not delivered...

  9. Can you be fired after giving notice??

    BabyLady replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    It is very important that you cross your t's and dot your i's after you give notice that you are leaving. Most people that end up on the no-rehire list have mentally checked out before they actually...

  10. What constitutes violating a patient rights in surgery?

    BabyLady replied to SMAH's topic in General Nursing

    Unprofessional? Yes. If I was the OR manager, a write-up for being disrespectful to the patient? Yes. Reportable to the Board of Nursing? Heck

  11. nursing care r/t pregnancy termination

    BabyLady replied to CeilingCat's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My advice to the OP is this: I have known women who have abortions, both electively and due to pregnancy complications...I have never seen anyone after a procedure that said, "Wow, glad to have that...

  12. Malpractice Insurance?

    BabyLady replied to Jmiami's topic in General Nursing

    The hospital's insurance covers you ONLY if you follow a policy exactly. This means you are not covered if you make an honest mistake or are unjustly accused of something. Insurance is cheap for...

  13. nursing care r/t pregnancy termination

    BabyLady replied to CeilingCat's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree, you have been cheated out of a quality education. Not every pregnancy ends in a live birth...you need to know how to handle that. Even if you are PRO-LIFE, you can refuse to participate in...

  14. Do you think removing an NG tube is "killing someone"?

    BabyLady replied to krenee's topic in General Nursing

    What this article fails to mention is that Terri was placed on heavy doses of pain medication for

  15. Nurses sued!!!!!

    BabyLady replied to mina123's topic in General Nursing

    Fully aware of this...considering my first BS is in Criminal Justice and I interned for one year with the DA's office while in college. Criminal liability is "beyond a reasonable doubt". Civil...

  16. Question about applying to Frontier

    BabyLady posted a topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I am looking for advice from someone who has applied. Can you apply to the program before you finish your BSN (from an RN-BSN program)? Or do they require you to be completely finished before you...

  17. A disgruntled ex calling the bon on me.

    BabyLady replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    Not automatically true, this depends on what state you live in..a summary of state by state laws are here: http://www.rcfp.org/taping/states.html For example, in MY state, I do not have to tell...

  18. A disgruntled ex calling the bon on me.

    BabyLady replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    Let him call. The BON is not going to suspend you without proof, which he will not have. However, as soon as you can get proof from the BON that he called and tried to interfere with your license YOU...

  19. Nurses sued!!!!!

    BabyLady replied to mina123's topic in General Nursing

    I'll be honest..I question the accuracy of this. Mainly because while hospitals are required by law to carry liability insurance if they want to do business as well as the physician. Nurses are not...

  20. Nurses sued!!!!!

    BabyLady replied to mina123's topic in General Nursing

    There is absolutely truth to RNperdiem's statement. "Settling" is not winning a lawsuit...settling is where you choose not to take it to trial and that is a CHOICE. If you make that CHOICE you cannot...

  21. Nurses sued!!!!!

    BabyLady replied to mina123's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I have never understood why nurses walk around freaking out wondering that they are going to get sued all the time. Physicians get sued frequently...yet you see the same ones making some...

  22. Hiring Managers can you explain this to me...

    BabyLady replied to Marshall1's topic in General Nursing

    I had this happen when I was looking for jobs as a new grad. I was very excited to get an interview with a very well-known hospital that was 4 hours away...my interview was super-early in the...

  23. My Microbiology Teacher told me I can't become a Nurse

    BabyLady replied to louis345's topic in General Students

    She might have a PhD in Biology, but she is not a medical professional. You don't have to look through a microscope to be a nurse, that is what MEDICAL Technologists do. Don't let that woman...

  24. car seat challenge/test

    BabyLady replied to ICNClinicalRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We tell parents, "When the nurse tells you your baby is placed in an open crib, you need to bring the car seat in." We let them know the most of the car seat challenges are completed on night shift...

  25. car seat challenge/test

    BabyLady replied to ICNClinicalRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We do...absolutely. ..and then we tell them any police station or fire department can recheck it for free because they have car-seat certified employees. Car seat challenges are not "busy work", they...
