  1. New grad nights in birthing center

    nohika replied to belle005's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm not a nurse, but I've volunteered on L&D and PP for over a year now. Babies and Moms don't stop having emergencies/being born just because it's night-time. :redpinkhe Especially if you're in a...

  2. What reason is used for call offs!

    nohika replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's less the whole migraine thing but more when they have their "monthly migraine" three times in the same week. Or like a PP said, the person who had three car accidents in less than two...

  3. Something wrong with this picture.

    nohika replied to Mimi2RN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, because it's better to shame your daughter in public in front of everyone, right? I don't have kids, but my Mom would've taken me aside and talked to me about why I couldn't do whatever instead...

  4. I was the first responder to a car accident today

    nohika replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

  5. "I bet your other co-workers friends didn't have to..."

    nohika replied to NENE RN's topic in General Nursing

    I definitely would prefer indifference somedays. When they literally insert themselves into your job/work hunt/whatever, it gets extremely obnoxious. My mother (while I don't work in healthcare right...

  6. Professional Liability Insurer for L&D Nurse?

    nohika replied to JMomBaby's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I would look to see if AWHONN gets a kick-back from Proliability - there's got to be a reason it's more expensive. I'd examine the policies too. I think most of the nurses on here go through NSO, but...

  7. baby friendly questions

    nohika replied to Rhee's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It may not be your experience with LLL but she did say earlier that was her experience dealing with them. Not every LLL is the

  8. Professional Liability Insurer for L&D Nurse?

    nohika replied to JMomBaby's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think what Elkpark is alluding to is that generally the hospital will throw you under the bus and deny you liability insurance kind of thing. It's important to have your own, since if the hospital...

  9. Does it bother CRNA's that MDA's get so much more...?

    nohika replied to ICU, RN, BSN, B.S.'s topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    One thing to note is that generally the nursing world funds these studies, so OF COURSE it's beneficial for them to show that they're all equal. Like all research...it should be taken with a grain of...

  10. Does it bother CRNA's that MDA's get so much more...?

    nohika replied to ICU, RN, BSN, B.S.'s topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Exactly. You can become a CRNA (theoretically) in 8-ish years? 4 years BSN, 1 year CC, 3 years CRNA school (at the low end of the scale). To become an anesthesiologist requires at least 11 - 4 years...

  11. "back up". Need tips on putting hubby through school

    nohika replied to inpatientlywaiting's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I'm not married (nor dating), so take my advice with a grain of salt. But I have seen upteen relationships fail, so I have some experience there. I think you are a /touch/ resentful, and I can kind of...

  12. Is it easier to become a RN if you're a surgical tech already working in the hospital

    nohika replied to Lakalm's topic in General Nursing

    I will also add to what RN in Training said...as an RN, depending on the hospital, you will be expected to work 12 hours with no lunch or break often. Just

  13. Volunteering in Maternity and PP-what do I need to know?

    nohika replied to MadameFreckles's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yeah...here they don't let you into pt care for at least six months, and you have to have perfect attendance. It's kind of obnoxious, since I'm the oldest daughter of a single Mom and the only other...

  14. How many broken ribs???? (long rant)

    nohika replied to klm49's topic in General Nursing

    I kind of agree, but is it possible that the people with her didn't mention the CVA? Assuming her relatives are non-medical professionals, sometimes it's hard for them totally understand everything...

  15. I need to switch preceptors

    nohika replied to katygw's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with a lot of the other posts - you're a brand new nurse, you're going to be terrified, cry, whatever. I think you're projecting your own anxieties onto the preceptor - I also don't think...

  16. new grad problems adjusting to big hospital- help!

    nohika replied to APatriganiRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    :) Don't kick yourself - it takes most new RNs about a year to even feel comfortable in their job. You can do

  17. Convicted felons and nursing

    nohika replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think she was saying it should be dismissed - just that it happens all the time and it is never reported, if only because the person being pinched doesn't say anything or it's not witnessed...

  18. BSN to MSW

    nohika replied to Lina Marie's topic in General Nursing

    Well, okay. There's counseling patients on therapies, etc, and then there's mental health counseling. I really doubt a nursing program trains you to provide mental health therapies to patients. I...

  19. BSN to MSW

    nohika replied to Lina Marie's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not an RN, but I work with a bunch of MSWs and am thinking of pursuing one myself. It all depends on what you want to do - if you want to do therapy, MSW (LCSW) is kind of the best thing short of...

  20. Oh, the drama of L&D

    nohika replied to beachmom's topic in Ob/Gyn

    While that's true for some people, one of my friends would rather abort the baby than put him up for adoption. Her boyfriend (babydaddy) was adopted and has been tortured about it his whole life. She...

  21. L&D - advocating for patients

    nohika replied to AJPV's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think this has two sides, though. If they were going through medical journals (reputable ones) - sure. But for a lot of laypeople, "basic science knowledge" comes from Dr. Google and is the bane of...

  22. They won't stop calling me!

    nohika replied to optimist's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. Once management realizes they can mis-use the OP heavily, they won't bother hiring another nurse - why should they? They have one doing all the work. Give management an inch, they'll take a...

  23. Mentally ill mother?

    nohika replied to trauma_lama's topic in Psychiatric

    I know most support groups like AA, NA, OA, etc, all have a "what comes here, stays here" policy - you're not to say if you recognize someone (except that you've met at the group), you don't associate...

  24. New Grad, Transfer? Help Please!!

    nohika replied to RN.after.your.HEART's topic in General Nursing

    No offense, but those are HER kids. She should be the one that has to accomodate them. As nice as it is for you to do it, they're not your children - they are HER responsibility. She is just as...

  25. Requesting not to work with certain person?

    nohika replied to carbaminohemoglobin's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I get your point, but sometimes the CNAs just don't care and you can set up alllll the hoops you want, and they'll fail. And I doubt (tbh) that the DON would go that far as to develop an improvement...
