    How long was she "stuck" at

  2. How necessary are episiotomies?

    ayndim replied to WhatToDo's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I didn't have one with any of my kids. I had a superficial tear (skin only) requiring 4 stitches with # 1 and no tears with #2 or 3. Then again I had a MW. I think they are unnecessary in most...

  4. What to do about tech refusing to get VS?

    ayndim replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I had to take a deep breath before responding. Dutchgirl should not have to ask Sarah to do Sarah's job. Isn't Sarah supposed to be getting vitals? I would have been livid if I were dutchgirl and I...

  5. Become A Nurse Just To Be A Crna?

    ayndim replied to SKYSTHELIMIT's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    From what I understand the minimum of 1 year is sufficient. The only problem I would have is if they didn't have the experience (unlikely since it is required by AANA) or if they didn't use that time...

  6. Become A Nurse Just To Be A Crna?

    ayndim replied to SKYSTHELIMIT's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I think those who just want to shoot through the ICU experience are going to have problems. If they haven't really learned what they need to. ICU is a huge learning experience and it probably takes...

  8. Become A Nurse Just To Be A Crna?

    ayndim replied to SKYSTHELIMIT's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I am not sure how this evolved into a shouting match. I think we all need to keep it respectful. No one can tell you what to do but I don't think you should disergard the advice of experienced nurses...

  9. Only RN on duty

    ayndim replied to medpsychRN's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Actually there is not a fedeal law that mandates breaks. Sorry I was just trying to point out that federal law is the final word. Most places have a policy that you get a 15 min break for every 4...

  10. Do RNs have to take PA's order?

    ayndim replied to EvePooh's topic in General Nursing

    That is what I thought.

  11. Do RNs have to take PA's order?

    ayndim replied to EvePooh's topic in General Nursing

    I can understand a questionable order but all med orders aren't followed until the attending arrives. Guess I just don't understand. I thought PA or NP's did give orders for treatment/meds/etc....

  12. Do RNs have to take PA's order?

    ayndim replied to EvePooh's topic in General Nursing

    Can't you get in trouble if something happens and you didn't give the med a pa/np ordered? I would be worried that it was outside my scope to decide what I will and won't accept from a

  13. Only RN on duty

    ayndim replied to medpsychRN's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Federal labor laws apply to everyone, even in a right to work state. Federal law always trumps state

  14. Navy Nursing-I'm so confused!

    ayndim replied to jhawk07's topic in Government, Military

    Whatever they tell you know this. The needs of the Navy come first. I am sure they will try but it is possible that you will not be stationed together. My husband and I were both in the Navy (pre...

  15. I'm thinking about trying to get pregnant and start nursing school? Yes or No?

    ayndim replied to rayofsunshine's topic in General Nursing

    I couldn't imagine doing it. I am a SAHM of 3 and I do my school online for the prereqs (last class, Yippee). My youngest is currently 16 months. I am debating starting the actual nursing portion...

  16. Do RNs have to take PA's order?

    ayndim replied to EvePooh's topic in General Nursing

    I thought PA's could deiver babies. At least that is what I was told. Or are you just wanting to practice in the way CNM's do. You know low section, episiotomies, birthing centers and such? Just...

  17. How do you feel about "Veterinary Nurse"

    ayndim replied to mrparhamrvt's topic in General Nursing

    Gosh I am at a lost for words for once. I have no idea where to start. I will have to think about it and do some research. How about some of the animal protection organizations. Surely they want...

  18. How do you feel about "Veterinary Nurse"

    ayndim replied to mrparhamrvt's topic in General Nursing

    Try to see it from their point of view. Aren't you angry that someone other than a properly educated person is using the title RVT? Of course you do otherwise you would not be here. Not saying that...

  19. How do you feel about "Veterinary Nurse"

    ayndim replied to mrparhamrvt's topic in General Nursing

    I think the legislation has to come first. Or like I said anyone off the street can use it. Even though I am only a student I feel your pain. These aren't easy classes and we are working for our...

  20. How do you feel about "Veterinary Nurse"

    ayndim replied to mrparhamrvt's topic in General Nursing

    In some states the title nurse is protected. In my state only RN or LPN is protected but in others it is the general title. And you could get in alot of trouble if the general term nurse is used....

  21. Room service anyone?

    ayndim posted a topic in General Nursing

    I took my cousin to a hospital in Phoenix today. Her hubby was in a bad car wreck. He will be fine. Anyway we had 2 of mine and 1 of hers (ages 3, 1 and 1). I decided to take them for a snack so...

  22. international student needs advice

    ayndim replied to puzzledsheep's topic in General Nursing

    First off many nursing programs have long waits. Any where for 1 to 3 years seems to be the norm. We actually start as pre-nursing students. That usually entails taking the following classes. This...

  23. Online Pathophysiology

    ayndim replied to Kabin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are you sure about Rio? I was told you just have to complete bio 202 to take it (the 4 credit class, anyway). And that is also what it says on the course schedule. The two-2 credit classes are the...

  24. Baby IV's!!

    ayndim replied to neonursey's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I am not sure if I could give myself an IV. But am glad it worked for you. Actually, I probably could if it meant saving a baby from more than one go. But since I am a prenursing student still I...

  25. Baby IV's!!

    ayndim replied to neonursey's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I remember one nurse here (sorry for the faulty memory -- but ask my anything about micro or a&p) said that she practiced on the veins in her ankle. I think it was on the l&d area. I will...
