  4. RNC-OB study materials

    taz5869, RNC-OB replied to mcwitty1's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This is a course I attended in person, prior to getting my RNC. I thought it was fantastic. It's available as a webinar, now.

  5. My patient dropped her baby!

    taz5869, RNC-OB replied to perfexion's topic in Ob/Gyn

    7 couplets +.... (((Shudders))). Totally unsafe... that's why AWHONN came out with their guidelines! Dont you you have any other options? Working at a hospital like that is putting your license on...

    taz5869, RNC-OB replied to perfexion's topic in Ob/Gyn

    From my experience, the vast majority of women have some support people in the room… especially when they're still on a PCA. But, yes, the AWHONN guidelines and Baby Friendly initiative do not...

  7. On whim, I decided to register for the RNC-OB exam

    taz5869, RNC-OB replied to klone's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I just took it in October. There aren't a ton of strips, but there are other questions that pertain to fetal monitoring, too, so you will need to brush up on your strips and fetal monitoring as well...

  8. Postpartum couplet care

    taz5869, RNC-OB replied to KYgirlRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I wouldn't work for a hospital that had that kind of response to the AWHONN Staffing Guidelines and obviously doesn't care about pt. safety. AWHONN's staffing guidelines are evidenced-based......

    taz5869, RNC-OB replied to SeattleRS24's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Dear Bronze, I have been an OB nurse for a couple of years now and there is a huge learning curve - especially for new grads. It's really a tough transition for new grads when you're really just...

    taz5869, RNC-OB replied to busymommy's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Linfield has changed their curriculum and increased their clinical hours. I graduated in December 2011 and all of the students starting Fall 2011 and afterwards are using the new curriculum and...

  14. ITT Tech's New Program???

    taz5869, RNC-OB replied to Joyfull77's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Wow, really? That's pretty incredible to me. What hospital is this? I graduated in December 2011 and the majority of my cohort members have not been able to find jobs. We're all second degree...

    Here is an interesting thread re: new grads today vs. years ago.

  16. So how's the job market NOW?

    taz5869, RNC-OB replied to busymommy's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I agree. The only reason I can imagine why all of the new grads have fewer clinical skills/experience than in the past is because there must be some supporting evidence that indicates that this...

    taz5869, RNC-OB replied to busymommy's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I will also say that nurses have far more responsibility and accountability than I realized when I first went into nursing school. For example, we are the patient's last defense when it comes to...

  19. So how's the job market NOW?

    taz5869, RNC-OB replied to busymommy's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Yes, I think we all have the romantic notion that we're going to be proficient nurses when we graduate. But that's not the case... and hospitals know it and don't expect us to be. Every nurse knows...

    taz5869, RNC-OB replied to busymommy's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Agreed. New grads are expensive to train and the hospitals want to make sure that we're not going to jump ship once the going gets tough or a "better offer" comes

    Oh, we didn't start giving meds until Spring term (Mother-Baby/Chronic care), either. We'd been in school for almost 8 months when we were finally allowed to start giving some shots and medications...

    taz5869, RNC-OB replied to busymommy's topic in Oregon Nursing

    There are jobs for experienced nurses who are looking for work, but not for new grads. Many of my cohort members and I are absolutely perplexed because we can't even get interviews in the hospitals,...
