    Regions that take male new grads into L/D

    cayenne06 replied to guest769224's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I worked briefly with a CNM who was male (I HATE the term "male nurse" or "male midwife") but have never worked with an RN in LDRP who was a guy. I agree that there IS a hiring bias. Men also seem...

    NPs working with chiropractors

    cayenne06 replied to mystcnurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    A good chiropractor can be as vital to the health care team as a PT or physiatrist. The problem is that the chiropractic profession is based on the magical idea of subluxation (not to be confused with...

    Gynecological scope of practice

    cayenne06 replied to DreamerMW's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I work exclusively in GYN as a CNM and we can, with the right training, have a very wide scope. I am brand spanking new so my excitement still comes from ultrasounds and IUDs, but my colleagues do...

    cayenne06 replied to loving2024's topic in General Students

    What's more important- addressing the hypokalemia or avoiding potential hyponatremia? What is the potential result of holding the drug until you can consult with the MD? I am not an ER nurse and so...

    FMLA for an addiction

    cayenne06 replied to CoffeeRTC's topic in General Nursing

    FMLA is certainly appropriate for someone undergoing treatment for their addiction, at least in my opinion. But it's obviously not for someone who feels they need to call out frequently due to an...

    Device to insert misoprostol vaginally

    cayenne06 replied to OBnurseEdu's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yes, I have always just inserted digitally but I will be the first to admit that those tiny little pills are a PITA. I have generally gone for PO administration for this reason and because oral admin...

    School project

    cayenne06 replied to Kgonzalez55's topic in General Nursing

    If you had posted this a week or two ago, I bet we could have offered all sorts of helpful solutions to finding RNs to interview. It's not a good idea to leave these types of projects till the last...

    New Job in postpartum/advice?

    cayenne06 replied to MarrahRN91's topic in Ob/Gyn

    OMG yes. Super embarrassing to discharge a baby that still has their cord clamp on, ask me how I know lol. Or cheerfully tell mom she is ready to go home, and have her hesitantly ask me if she needed...

    Surviving ICD 10

    cayenne06 replied to Nursetk4's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yep, the front desk double checks my bills and coding, then it gets sent to our billing agency for a final looksee before it is submitted. I just do my best to pick the right code and let them sort it...

    Libertarian Healthcare

    cayenne06 replied to 1edwood79's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    THIS. Exactly. Is profit margin really the marker by which we should judge a company's success? Is a good company one which does everything in their power to increase revenue for shareholders? Or...

    Best Midwifery School programs

    cayenne06 replied to Livvy24's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Because then I would have been responsible for procuring my own clinical placements. I chose Baystate because of the wealth of clinical opportunities available. I also wanted a brick and mortar...

    HELPPP!!!

    cayenne06 replied to PrettyRN9's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Well what draws you to L&D? I can say that I know a lot of people who think it is all cute babies and happy families. Much like how some people think being an ED nurse is about high drama and...

    Magazines? Education while working

    cayenne06 replied to Lindseyg_123's topic in General Nursing

    I got myself a personal subscription to uptodate, and find it WELL worth the money to help me stay in the loop, especially now that I am no longer working in a busy tertiary teaching hospital. It...

    Scared to admit I am a RN who cares

    cayenne06 replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    I went into nursing for probably one of the least-liked reasons- to become an APRN. Never, ever wanted to be a bedside RN and it was nothing but a means to an end for me. I certainly did not become a...

    Scared to admit I am a RN who cares

    cayenne06 replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, so that is a nice anecdote, and I can relate. When I am playing games I often rely on my gut instead of logic, because it is fun to play that way. Like you, I also lose more often than not when...

    Log Narcotic Before/After

    cayenne06 replied to ArceusAlpha's topic in General Students

    I work in a teensy community hospital, and LDRP, ED and ICU are the only unit that uses ANY electronic charting at all! We are actually just now, this month, rolling out a comprehensive EHR and...

    Log Narcotic Before/After

    cayenne06 replied to ArceusAlpha's topic in General Students

    I've been an LDRP RN for a few years (am now a CNM but still moonlight on the floor as an RN), and I frequently chart my meds before I administer them-even narcotics. Our MAR is still paper, and often...

    Assisting with Circumcisions

    cayenne06 replied to Babsten22's topic in General Nursing

    Well when there are no complications, a routine circ is pretty easy to assist with and I am sure an MA or PCT could handle it easily. But in the rare cases where a complication occurs, at the very...

    Oh and applying for rx privileges is a separate process, and you will also have to undergo facility credentialing and individual credentialing with each insurance company. Usually employers help...

    Your state's BON website should list the requirements. You will likely have to pay a fee, fill out an application, and send in some supporting documentation. Your school should have gone over this...

    Wait. Not only are you not paid for call, you arent even paid if you have to come in?!?! That doesnt sound like a demanding amount of call (coming from a cnm, lol) but it does sound like they are...
