    BabyRN2Be replied to MissDilini's topic in General Nursing

    Beyond what others have said, contact a large local university and ask if you can talk to a cleric at the Islam/Muslim student association. We did that when we had a lady from Pakistan who was Muslim,...

    Tralala RN - I'm so sorry for all you've been through for the last 25 years, and your daughter was so lucky to have you as a mom. It sounds strange to say this, but I'm so happy that you finally have...

    Does this job sound like a scam?

    BabyRN2Be replied to glenlorie's topic in General Nursing

    I've heard of people who send these people on wild goose chases. I know that someone who used the FBI field office in D.C. as their personal phone

    methadone effects on newborns

    BabyRN2Be replied to hannahphn's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    If mom is on 20mg or less of methadone, then it is not only OK to breastfeed, but encouraged to breastfeed. By the time that the methadone is broken down in mom's system, very little, if any gets into...

    Where are the candy stripers?

    BabyRN2Be replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

    Ha! I did, too! I used every one even until this day! I was a candy-striper ~29 years ago with the striped pinafore, nurses shoes and everything. I worked a surgical floor and I learned so much. At...

    Nursing insturctor terrifying students

    BabyRN2Be replied to dawn30's topic in General Nursing

    At first I thought you were referring to university students, not high school. This is very wrong. I wanted to go into PT since 8th grade. I went into an athletic training program in HS to prepare for...

    HELP....Dr wants to perform repeat C-section 5 days before due date!!!!

    BabyRN2Be replied to dncndva215's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Per the terms of service, we really can't give out medical advice. That being said, this has happened many, many times over my career as a CNA and doula. I've found docs will say, "Yeah! You're prime...

    Do You Have Any Favorite OB Myths?

    BabyRN2Be posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I was wondering if anyone had a favorite OB myth that you've come across in work. I'll start with a few of my favorites: When I worked at a maternity home, the lead houseparent told the girls that if...

    I want to be a CRNA

    BabyRN2Be replied to t.cawill's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Not sure where you are, but the hospitals in Tulsa seem to use a lot of CRNA's. There's one who seems to handle primary anesthesia at SouthCrest, and I know of several at Hillcrest Medical Center (I...

    Morphine shortage?

    I remembered this post yesterday as I had heard that Oklahoma had executed a man with phenobarbital instead of the usual sodium thiopental, due to the shortage of the drug. It had the OK of the...

    They won't pay me my money!

    BabyRN2Be replied to grateful2010's topic in General Nursing

    If I may ask, what was the employment situation? PT employee, independent contractor, etc. And yes, you do have the right to be paid for work done. If it was contracted, what was stated in the...

    Why Even go for your MA? Don't Understand...

    BabyRN2Be replied to skittlebear's topic in General Nursing

    This could be the case. In some states you can't be a CNA when one has a record. When I did my CNA training in preparation for NS, people who had criminal records were turned away from the CNA

    Why Even go for your MA? Don't Understand...

    BabyRN2Be replied to skittlebear's topic in General Nursing

    I couldn't agree with this more. The typical "career college" that offers these MA programs sometimes is no more than a scam. They work off the same idea behind the 4-1-9 scams out of Nigeria. If you...

    Where Do People Dream This Stuff Up?

    BabyRN2Be posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't do this too much, but recently I watched part of an afternoon TV show (Steve Wilkos). I didn't get the whole story, but a woman's stepmother wanted to get custody of her stepdaughter's two...

    BabyRN2Be replied to remigirl222's topic in General Nursing

    UnionRN2 - If this is the case, then I applaud MI for creating these standards. I hope this applies to all schools, profit and non-profit, or private and public. Many of these schools will get around...

    Paid for background check and still no work....

    BabyRN2Be replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    As I had read in the Agency nurse forum, this might be the norm for agencies. If this one eventually says that they have no work for you or as much as you need, then apply to another agency but ask...

    BabyRN2Be replied to remigirl222's topic in General Nursing

    OK, I did some research and if this is Baker College in Michigan, then run far, far away. (BTW, this is why it's important to post your state if you are in the US because I saw "Auburn" and...

    BabyRN2Be replied to remigirl222's topic in General Nursing

    I'd like to do some research for you, but i have some questions: 1. Where is this college? 2. How much do they want for a two year program? 3. Do they have a waiting list? 4. Are they pressuriing...

    BabyRN2Be replied to rnintwo's topic in General Nursing

    Not that I'm trying to rain on anyone's ideas, but please keep in mind that getting into PT school is often more competitive than getting into NS. The prereqs may be different as well. Not sure about...

    Is it the time for Nursing School?

    BabyRN2Be replied to glitterMind's topic in General Nursing

    I would second anyone here in that $50K is too much to spend for an RN degree. It sounds like a "for profit" school and they will say anything to get you in, and promise upfront to get you a job once...
