    How do you feel when?..

    cayenne06 replied to vregino36's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Hmm. If this is happening to you on a regular basis, I wonder if the manner in which your instructor is asking might be the issue. Not sure how to address that issue

    Please help!

    cayenne06 replied to RNstude's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Sounds like a valid diagnosis (but I am NOT a nursing dx expert by any stretch, nor do I have the NANDA book). However, is part of your assignment to identify the PRIORITY problem? If so, make sure...

    Switching specialties to L&D

    cayenne06 replied to NICU~RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree with k-t-did! ICU nurses are great in labor and delivery. Even though the patient population is markedly different, L&D nurses need to be able to deal with drastic fluctuation in acuity,...

    Want to be L&D rn but hate the OR?

    cayenne06 replied to Julcary's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I like the OR, but I HAAAATE PACU. The documentation, argh. When we do sections, the L&D nurses generally do "baby side" and the OR team circulates and scrubs. I am in CNM school and hope to do...

    simple drug calculation

    cayenne06 replied to kattie99's topic in Pediatric

    And also- if this was a real order, the provider would specify the exact mg/kg/day dose- you wouldn't go by the range given in the pharm book. I'm sure you knew that already though! 400mg/5L. Hahaha!...

    L & D experience and CNM -- opinions!

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

    Well. The CNM would have PLENTY of labor experience after completing midwifery school! I agree with you to a certain extent though. Of course the more experience you have with a situation, the easier...

    HUGS?!

    cayenne06 replied to sparky605's topic in General Students

    Well. . . I work in L&D and hug patients (and their family members) on a regular basis. Hugs range from a perfunctory pat to very emotional embraces. It's 100% situation-dependent. And of course,...

    Where to start

    cayenne06 replied to mommy2anangel's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    No advice either, but midwifery is an amazing job! Good luck on your journey :) When I applied to midwifery school, they accepted a math CLEP that had a statistics component. So I imagine your CC...

    cayenne06 replied to JenKnowles's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Yes, as other posters have mentioned there are indeed ADN-MSN programs (Frontier comes to mind), but these essentially incorporate the BSN coursework into the bridge program. Other BA/BS degrees have...

    Care plan

    cayenne06 replied to Anthony BSN,RN's topic in General Students

    I would never claim to be an expert in nursing care plans, but I wonder if there is something that is more acutely important to her safety than imbalanced nutrition? Falls, infection risk, airway...

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

    I would encourage you to go for your CNM as opposed to a direct entry program. Once you get your CNM, it is fairly easy to meet the qualifications for CPM certification, but the reverse is NOT TRUE. I...

    cayenne06 replied to cp1024's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    The UF CNM program is pretty good, from what I hear. I know of 3 midwives who went through that program, and all found employment very easily. I went to a direct entry midwifery school in Gainesville...
