  1. Pediatric or Adult Nursing for New Grad

    jeepgirl replied to dive687's topic in Pediatric

    I've worked in peds since graduation. I worked as a student as a NA in medical / ONC and ICU. In my opinion, peds nurses can be (depending on your work situation) the most well rounded nurses...

  2. PA NP movability

    jeepgirl replied to Pinoy2.0's topic in General Nursing

    Where I live, we have two (at least) FNP programs. It has gotten so bad that some of them cannot find jobs and are having to relocate. However... the ones that are specializing (WHNP, PNP, MHNP) are...

  4. ...and a side order of placenta please

    jeepgirl replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Ob/Gyn

    jeepgirl replied to highasthesky's topic in General Nursing

  8. Non-viable baby, born alive -parent won't hold him, what do you do?

    jeepgirl replied to enfermeraSG's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This is very sad. It is a total disregard for human life. You would think that an OB / GYN nurse would "get it"... but this one obviously doesn't. I would go as far as to go to the higher ups on this...

  9. Pediatric Nurse Practitioner

    jeepgirl posted a topic in Pediatric

    I'm really struggling deciding what I want to do. On one hand, I want to get my PNP... I don't want to work with any population other than my kiddos! But on the other hand... I wonder if the FNP would...

  10. Nurses: Delighted or Annoyed by Nursing Students?

    jeepgirl replied to AthensICURN's topic in General Nursing

  11. How are your classes going??

    jeepgirl replied to CardioTrans's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm in my first semester... my classes are "easy" (just theory) but I am still struggling to even care. I have been in school almost non-stop for 4 years now. So, I'm getting a little tired of...

    jeepgirl replied to ICRN2008's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Hello! But on the other hand, you are a Primary Care Provider. That does make all the difference in the

  14. Non-viable baby, born alive -parent won't hold him, what do you do?

    jeepgirl replied to enfermeraSG's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If the baby was alive without intervention for 3 hours... gosh, do you think it would have done well in the NICU? I mean, I know that they have done 22 weekers

  15. Advice about CNA's who don't follow orders

    jeepgirl replied to dinkymouse's topic in General Nursing

    You should let them stay on the hall they started working on at the beginning of the shift, and not just switch them for the heck of it. It's called continuity of care. If that person started out the...

  16. Feeling guilty and mad at the same time

    jeepgirl replied to gladtobeOB's topic in General Nursing

    They should be calling PRN staff first. One of my biggest gripes is PRN staff who gets premium shifts... or telling the manager when "they can work." I am lucky... this doesn't happen much where I am...

  20. Family NP and Pediatric NP

    jeepgirl posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Question: Are family NP frequently employed in pediatric only settings? Or are pediatric NP's preferred? Or, is the FNP just as competitive for the job? Or, does it really not make a difference... I...

  21. *rant* "Nurse" at office answering questions.

    jeepgirl replied to FrumDoula's topic in Ob/Gyn

    She was asking questions to ASSESS (by her answers) wether or not to get her in earlier or not. It is obvious to me that she was trying to assess over the phone here... and she doesn't have the proper...

  22. Meds. off floor taste YUMMY!

    jeepgirl replied to NurCrystal22's topic in General Nursing

  24. filter needles - policy

    jeepgirl replied to mtnmom's topic in General Nursing

    jeepgirl replied to 3KittiesRN's topic in General Nursing
