    RaziRN posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    So, I have another OB interview on Friday at my old hospital and I've been brainstorming my strengths, weaknesses, etc. and was wondering if some of you could look them over and tell me which ones...

  2. Another OB Interview, Brainstorming!

    RaziRN replied to RaziRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thank you! I'm not even going to try to speculate as to how it went because I'm apparently a terrible judge of that. I did get to see my old preceptor and she remembered me! Everyone was so nice and...

  4. Question for those who work with a majority of Filipino nurses

    RaziRN replied to samirish's topic in General Nursing

    I worked with several filipino nurses and two of them precepted me. They were great! And I loved trying all the filipino food they brought in!

  5. Another OB Interview, Brainstorming!

    RaziRN replied to RaziRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Um, I don't understand how it is I seem so desperate. I can't stop doing something if I don't know what I'm doing wrong in the first place. I have no personal experience in OB. I have no children....

  6. My first OB Interview

    RaziRN posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hi, I just recently (this week) quit my med/surg job because it was causing me ridiculous amounts of stress and I was depressed to the point of suicidal ideation. I have 14 months med/surg experience....

  8. My first OB Interview

    RaziRN replied to RaziRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    *Sigh* Things aren't looking too bright right now. I e-mailed the NM some questions I thought of over the weekend like she asked me to if I thought of any, and I haven't received a reply. I figure if...

  9. My first OB Interview

    RaziRN replied to RaziRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    So, I had my interview today. The only question the NM asked me was why OB? And I told her it was my passion and how I've always had a fascination with all things OB. She then went on to explain...

  10. My first OB Interview

    RaziRN replied to RaziRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    So, what are the differences between the levels? This hospital has a NICU so I'm assuming the support is definitely there if something goes wrong. I respect OB, I've seen first hand things that go...

  11. My first OB Interview

    RaziRN replied to RaziRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You guys that are saying that OB is super stressful are scaring me. I've never been in an OB unit that seemed to be near the amount of stress in med/surg. There seems to actually be down time on...

  12. My first OB Interview

    RaziRN replied to RaziRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I plan to tell them that I quit to follow my passion in nursing which is OB. It's the truth as well as is the whole stress thing. I'm hoping I can deal with the stress in OB because I actually like...

  13. Nurses with Tattoos and Piercings

    RaziRN replied to CMALynzer's topic in General Nursing

    I just don't understand this association that people with tats or piercings are automatically unclean and unkempt. I have one unusual piercing and I make no effort to either show it off or hide it. I...

    RaziRN replied to CMALynzer's topic in General Nursing

    Really? ^^^^^ I know a lawyer who is very heavily tattooed and pierced including microdermals which are implanted into the skin. They just don't happen to be visible piercings or

    RaziRN replied to RaziRN's topic in General Nursing

    Forgive me if I sound like an idiot. I just woke up. Anyway, of course the pt. was on tele. My floor is a catch all. It's a small hospital and we are the neuro unit, renal unit, step down unit and...

  18. Concerned...allnurses store product

    RaziRN replied to AwayWeGo's topic in General Nursing

    Um, I agree with the OP. She/he is not talking about a kid coming on here and buying the candy in a pill bottle but a kid seeing mommy or daddy eating candy out of a pill bottle and then trying that...

  19. UNC Chapel hill vs. ECU (online RN-BSN program)

    RaziRN replied to whoaitschrista's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    ECU, because it requires less pre-req classes and because I hope to be a midwife one day and ECU is the only school in North Carolina where you can obtain a midwifery

    RaziRN replied to greenfiremajick's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, I work with a lot of demented patients and only really get to learn anything about them when they die. I always read my patient's obituararies. I like to learn about who they really...
