Hi Everyone, Is there a way of finding out a school's pass rate of the NCLEX online? Is there a place where we could check this out online or do we have to ask the schools themselves? Where's the best...
I've been reading a lot of birth plans on the web - the one I use with my clients has been currently hijacked by my computer. I know that I include this question on my birth plan about students...

I've wanted to commented on this... the problem could be with the PCP's office. Whenever we call and tell them what's going on (sore throat, fever, could it be strep, etc.), they usually tell us to...
I don't think that anyone should criticize you for using the system. You used the system the way it was meant to be used - to help people who really want to become productive members of society to be...

Ditto. Stand too close to a mom who's delivering and you'll be right in the line of fire for some prime birth glop. Imagine having to get THAT out of white on a daily basis. Makes for high uniform...
No, you didn't overreact. As others have said, it's YOUR kid, you make the rules not your mom. Your mom should support you with discipline. Boy, I know my grandma would have been upset if I had done...
BabyRN2Be replied to TexasPoodleMix's topic in General Nursing
Some of it has to do with her perceptions of nursing before she went to school. I'm wondering what she expected it to be like? Did she expect nursing to be like it was in the 60's when the acuity...
I was wondering if anyone has read any of the books written by Echo Heron. She is a gifted writer, and I have loved her books (Intensive Care, The Story of a Nurse; Condition Critical, The Story of a...
BabyRN2Be replied to Town & Country's topic in Geriatric, LTC
This reminds of something that happened recently in my family. My fiance's grandma had to move from her LTC because it was closing. Unfortunately, my future MIL was in a rush to find a place to take...
Definitely bring in a note documenting the problem. I believe that they are supposed to accommodate those (within reason) who have such problems. The note is the first step, though. Do that and see...
BabyRN2Be replied to MoonChild RN's topic in General Nursing
congratulations, moonchild! :balloons: we live in an age in which we are very lucky. there was a time in which the test took two days and one had to wait at least 6-8 weeks before they knew they...
BabyRN2Be replied to KibbsRNstudent's topic in General Nursing
When my mom graduated in the early 60's, they all wore caps. When she went back to work in a nursing home in the mid-80's, she wore a cap so that the residents would know that she's a nurse. By that...
Thank you Mitchsmom. Wonderful list. In fact, I think that I'm just going to cut and paste your list and make it my wish list on Amazon. :chuckle Sounds like they'd make a great library in and of...
Since I haven't received any replies to the post that I made in "Recommended Reading", I thought that I might bring this down here to see if I got a few more responses. After all, these aren't really...
At our hospital, nails longer than the pad of the finger are not allowed. This is for all employees working in NICU, L&D and P&P. This not only goes for acrylic nails but for natural nails as...
Sorry for the double post, but I read this and had to respond before I forgot. I can't agree with you more. The more that I see and read, the more that I say "See a Midwife" whenever I hear that...
Thank you, palesarah! :) I believe I mentioned it here when I said that I had asked an L&D nurse about birth plans. She said that they are fine as long as it's not a 7 pg book from birthplan.com...
Zhlake has some great suggestions. I agree with her - don't download a 7 pg birthplan off the net and mark what you do and do not want. The staff doesn't have time to read it, and most of the time...
I just wanted to emphasize that I realize that students need to learn SOMEWHERE. If I didn't have some sexual abuse issues, it wouldn't be a problem. Since I work with some clients who have these...
I love "The Birth Partner"! I have it as suggested reading for the spouses or other partners if they are interested. It was one of the books I constantly read. I'm really upset that it won't be...
No one is being hateful, just reporting on what happened. Fair and balanced. Anyhoo, back to our summer reading... I'm now reading Immaculate Deception II. If anyone gets time to check this one out,...
Yes, I am in a position to say something, only IF I'm working on a private birth. Most of the time I come on, the mom has been in the hospital for a few hours already and they already have students...
