Thank you for the feedback. The instruments best fit the research question, but always have limitations. So glad you want to teach as we need great clinical faculty!

Thank you for responses! Still not at the needed number. If you know adjunct faculty on Allnurses, please let them know about this research. Thank you!

We all go thru this as new nurses. Once you are more comfortable, in a year or so, it will be better! You are still learning and it is tough!

As a nursing professor, there is a difference between school and work. Most charting is clicks now. Spelling does count when typing. Reading a patient's chart with accuracy is important. IF you did not use accommodations with clinicals, will you really need them working as a nurse? I feel sad that you have conquered school and NCLEX and might not be able to work.

I am interested in this answer too!

I am interested in forensics also and wondered this too.

We do this, but only until they are up and passing gas.

This is a great list!!

Never hurts to apply, they will not contact you if they are strict on the experience rule.

As long as they attempting to feed and blood sugar is stable , then we let them go to 24 hours.

When I started L&D from critical care, I studied!! There is so much to know. I was already an RN with 5 years ICU/IMCU experience and I still has to learn. As a new grad you will need to study, seek out experiences, and take advantage of the orientation period to gain knowledge. During my orientation, I was never without a patient. If my delivered, I picked up another one right away!

22 years and I have never seen that in the hospital, but nothing surprises me anymore!

We have had a few L&D nurses go to the offices and they loved it!

Getting into L&D can be tricky, but you are already in the right field. Transfers are easier to train usually. If your goal is a midwife, then L&D is where you need to be.
