    cayenne06 replied to fedynaj's topic in General Nursing

    The ER at my hospital requires ACLS within one year. the course is wicked hard, but I think you could reasonably expect to pass if you took it now. However, I think you will learn SO SO much more if...

    The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    cayenne06 replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    Huh? Who wears gloves for every patient contact? And I must have missed something, because I don't remember anyone advocating going gloveless when PPE is indicated. Are you talking about the body...

    The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    cayenne06 replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    Not quite... a couple vaccines are made using fetal cell lines as a medium (I believe there are two cultures being used nowadays, could be wrong). Could fragments of DNA wind up in the vaccine? Sure....

    The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    cayenne06 replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    I support an adult's right to use whatever pseudo-medicine they wish. But the fact remains that homeopathy flies in the face of basic laws of physics and is nothing more than an expensive (and...

    cayenne06 replied to Laceyrochelle26's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    80ish is pretty standard for a new grad in my area. Which is shockingly low, if you actually break it down by hours worked (not even including after hours time spent charting, etc). It worked out to...

    Bedadine for vaginal birth

    cayenne06 replied to twahls65's topic in Ob/Gyn

    no evidence to support any sort of perineal/vulvar prep for routine SVB. In fact with all the new data we are seeing regarding microbiomes and their effect on health, it's not unlikely that antiseptic...

    Do you get hit/spit on? Does body fluids splash on you?

    cayenne06 replied to KatFUTUREnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I had a mom's bag of water break while she was standing by the bed and I was kneeling under her (baby was minutes from being born). My hair was DRIPPING. I learned my lesson, that's for sure! But...

    I accepted a job offer but now I want to back out

    cayenne06 replied to coolchic88's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I did the same thing when I graduated CNM school. I felt terrible, and gave notice to the other job as soon as I had an official, signed offer from the job I wanted. It's business, and all you can do...

    cayenne06 replied to BturnerRN's topic in General Nursing

    New Grad Resume Help for L&D

    cayenne06 replied to babyrnhlw's topic in Ob/Gyn

    See if you can get some experience with childbirth education- i bet there are local CBE providers who would be more than willing to "precept" you by letting you attend their classes and help out,...

    cayenne06 replied to Laceyrochelle26's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    It WAS a dream job! We did about 40ish a month, so it would range from none to as many as 4 on my busiest shifts. Most commonly, it would be one or two. These births could range from very...

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