Britrn04 BSN, MSN, RN

In my current facility we take 3 couplets. This is manageable when we have 3 healthy couplets, but this is never usually the case. We have sick Mom's down here with high BPs, drug use, scant prenatal care etc etc. Subsequently our babies are SGA, ...

Has anybody made a hospital move (from LD PP, Nursery etc) to NFP? I am interested on hearing about your transition and if you like the program. How about personal safety and job satisfaction? Appreciate any feedback. Thanks

Thank you for your perspective on home visits. I did interview yesterday and got a lot of good information about the program from the field staff. It is very successful in my area. I can definitely see the benefits and obstacles moving forward.

Thank you for the helpful feedback.

I have to vent; all my RN friends are in the hospital environment and just don't get it :-( I have been an RN for almost 10 years and recently started working in an Elementary school in February. The office staff are just plain mean, disrespectfu...

I only stayed as a school nurse for 1 year. I went back to the hospital setting. I got an MSN in Nursing Education and teach adjunct in a BSN program. Later on, I will try to teach full-time and get my summers that way :-)

I am looking for any good resource tips/ and recent personal experience for RNC-MNN specifically. I am only finding old threads on allnurses and am looking for something more current. I have all the info on how to register with NCC etc, so I am mor...

I purchased: AWHONN Perinatal Nursing IBSN 978-160913-622-2 and CCPR workbook (Maternal Newborn Nursing) Good luck. :-)

I have worked all over the USA in Mother/Baby and in NBN and have only seen Male RNs in NICU or NBN. Good Luck :-)

Yes, I have a passport and NI number. All my family is there; I married an American and am US trained. Just something to ponder with my parents getting older...not a process I would really like to endure with NMC. Thanks

I wonder how it would work for me. I have a BSN, but I have a British passport and still a UK subject. I know I'd need to go through the the nursing council but I wouldn't need a permit visa. Do you think this would improve my chance?

I tried so hard with school nursing and moved on....it really wasn't for me. Perhaps it is the area I live in, but I found it just wasn't a good fit. My husband is a teacher and really wanted to get on his schedule and take the summers off. Not fo...

I see this questions was addressed a while back this year, but I am going to see if anyone has any recent information. Does anyone have experience with Chamberlain University online specifically MSN programs only? OR any other awesome experiences w...

Entonox is still a popular pain relief choice in England...midwifes still provide home births and delivery in the hospital environments. Women usually just see a Dr AKA consultant for complications. My sister had a water birth and was still allowe...

I am new to school nursing and today is my last day. I lasted 1 year. It has been tough and I can identify with many of your above comments. I miss working with medical people and people who share a common goal. I hope you find your niche....hang...

It will be difficult to keep a fulltime job, active social and family life once accepted into nursing school. Try your best in the pre-req to get good grades as nursing school admission can be very competitive depending on where you apply. Somethin...

All visitors must be buzzed in and sign in etc. After our meeting before break, our prinicpal decided all doors that are on the hallways must remain locked at all times. Classrooms did this anyway, but not my clinic. So now even my clinic has to b...

Oh what a gross week....flu like SSX, vomiting, pooping, high fevers, sending kids home left and right! I have been a nurse a good while and worked around all kind of "grossness"! I NEVER get sick (even from my own 2 little ones), so I am shocked t...

LOL at the vision of your husband using Listerine.....Coxsackie is awful though, my daughter had it! Thanks for sharing :-)

I have 2 siblings in my school that have asthma. Both kids have albuterol nebulizers at school and are suppose to take Flovent at home. The 6 grade child seems to be the kid that makes sure he gets his meds and also his 2 grade brother. They start...

I spoke with the Ped/Dr yesterday and he wants to see them both in his office Monday morning. He told me that Mom has called in for refill on the Flovent recently. He is going to re-eval and ref out to pulm as needed. We have a sit down meeting ne...

I spoke with the Mom again today and she promised me they were both taking Flovent and little one on Zyrtec. She says she will get them into the Asthma and Allergy clinic for further eval :-/ I have the 2 grade teacher approaching the principal to ...

I can identify with many of the above comments, also the lack of understanding of what the role of the school nurse is by teachers/staff. I am in a poor, rural area and many kids are underserved in many ways. It is a sad situation many days and I fe...

I can identify; yesterday was awful for me too. There are no pleasing some parents and we just have to try our best with the knowledge we have. YAY for teacher work day tomorrow...student free clinic may mean something gets done :-)
