1. Anyone going baby friendly?

   scribblerpnp replied to babyktchr's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I will say that when I came home from the hospital the first day of breastfeeding was so hellacious (my milk had not come in yet) that if I had formula in the house I would have used it. I was SOOOO...

   Bless you for the work you do. Those older people don't know how lucky they really

4. Do even pediatric nurses get jaded?

   scribblerpnp replied to ACRN06's topic in Pediatric

   I'm a PNP and yes, I get jaded at times. Especially when I have a parent talking or playing with their iPhone during the exam, but who can't afford Tylenol to give their child. Or a sixteen year old...

5. MMR question

   scribblerpnp replied to Raefabian4's topic in Pediatric

   Just validating. I am a PNP and work in primary peds. MMR and Chickenpox vaccines are SUBQ. All others are IM, and should be given with a 1-inch needle (this is according to our state health dept) In...

   Where I am from a 9-month contract starts at 37,500/year in a BSN program for an MSN. Years of experience mean nothing. Yup, BIG

7. sigma theta tau

   scribblerpnp replied to LuvPedsNrsg's topic in General Nursing

   I would like to add that if you turn it down, there is a good chance that you will never be able to join later on- unless you further your education and re qualify for induction. But if you pay the...

8. Nursing schools with SANE policies

   scribblerpnp replied to carolanivey's topic in General Nursing

   How WONDERFUL! Making such an effort obviously had a positive impact on the dean. Hopefully from now on she will be smooth

9. Is This Ethical?

   scribblerpnp replied to WorriedinPA's topic in Patient Safety Issues

   I am an NP too (who works/teaches full time in pediatrics) and am very confident in the safety of giving 3 vaccines at a time on the VAST majority of cases. It is not uncommon to give four (two in...

10. Is This Ethical?

    scribblerpnp replied to WorriedinPA's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    It is quite legal to obtain the vaccines with a primary care provider's order and give them yourself 9or whomever is on the prescription) if you are a nurse. A doctor doesn't have to be present when a...

11. Skin to skin contact

    scribblerpnp replied to at your cervix's topic in Ob/Gyn

    JessiD, Thanks for mentioning about the jaundice! I have started to see (this is anecdotally) in the office that the babies with the delayed cord clamp seem to have worse jaundice in the follow up...

12. Awkward Situation

    scribblerpnp replied to Lily C.'s topic in General Nursing

    I guess being a peds nurse, I'm not really shocked about this. When I worked in the hospital, this has happened a few times with my teenage boy pts. I usually saw it as a sign that their pain was...

13. Male CNM

    scribblerpnp replied to scribblerpnp's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I e-mailed the student about the CNM in Pittsburgh. He is planning on following up! I just hope the CNM in Pitt e-mails him back. I think he could really do with some +encouragement from another

14. Adult Infant Stethascope combo?

    scribblerpnp replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    The littman cardiology III is a good one. It has an adult diaphragm and an infant. I work in peds and find it to be a great stethoscope. I can easily assess a newborn or an adolescent. No problem...
