    bmcm2girls replied to bmcm2girls's topic in Ob/Gyn

    WOW, I was expecting a pay cut but I am not sure I was expecting THAT much of a pay cut. I was keeping my fingers crossed for around $25 minimum. Which I figured with a lower cost of living, would...

    bmcm2girls replied to Dignan's topic in General Nursing

    Hey there! I was born and raised in Pittsburgh...and have lived in Anchorage for the last 7.5 yrs. My thoughts.....Anchorage is "cleaner" and not as crowded. Things are more spread out....but...

    bmcm2girls replied to NoSocks4You's topic in Ob/Gyn

  14. Birth Doulas

    bmcm2girls replied to pamela100's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We have a standard of 1:1 most times. Exceptions are if it is early labor cervidil type inductions. Even then, we try to keep 1:1 if staffing allows. Of course, there are always emergencies and...

  15. new grad moving to AK

    bmcm2girls replied to adventure11's topic in General Nursing

    The job market for new grads isn't fantastic, but it isn't horrible either. Providence has some great "intern" positions offered a few times a year. They give specific training to nurses with less...

  16. Nursing Student who needs some help!!!!

    bmcm2girls replied to hlhohs21's topic in Ob/Gyn

    YIKES they don't even see the baby for four hours? I work at a baby friendly hospital so we are big on skin to skin but we don't do it in the OR mostly b/c of the low temps. But baby stays with mom...

    Thanks for sharing. We have a 36 bed MB unit and a 12 bed prenatal unit. We don't transport out...we are the ones getting the transports, lol. But it is interesting to me to see that your MB nurses...

  19. Recovery for vaginal delivery

    bmcm2girls replied to IrishIzCPNP's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Your unit sounds only slightly larger then mine. We also have the only high risk unit and NICU in the state, and while we have less rooms, our NEED is probably to be the size of yours, lol. We do...

  20. Not "qualified"

    bmcm2girls replied to what2donow's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You can always TRY, I just don't know if I would hold my breath. I guess it all depends on the hospital and their needs/resources. I know that at my hospital, if they had a position open for an...

    bmcm2girls replied to CandyGyrl1985's topic in Ob/Gyn

    On the topic of demise's..... while those are by far the most emotionally difficult for me personally, they have also proven to be the most rewarding as well. I will never continue to be amazed at...

  22. Recovery for vaginal delivery

    bmcm2girls replied to IrishIzCPNP's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I can see how, if you do 1 hr recovery it would be more important to start recovery after repairs are made rather then placenta. I personally can't imagine a 1 hr recovery b/c none of our patients...

    bmcm2girls posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    So, if a visitor or support person shows up with s/s, would they be allowed in to the unit? Would it matter if it is the fob or

  25. Recovery for vaginal delivery

    bmcm2girls replied to IrishIzCPNP's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Our recovery also starts when the placenta is delivered. Usually it isn't an issue unless a resident is doing a repair that takes forever, lol. Our "goal" is for them to be transfered to MBU within...
