  1. UNR RN/BSN

    MrsEd posted a topic in Nevada Nursing

    Is anyone out there currently completing the RN/BSN program at Orvis School of Nursing. I just applied for the fall and was curious how the program is. Any insight would be greatly appreciated....

  2. L&D nurses - can you look at my birth plan?

    MrsEd replied to Lola77's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Ditto Wow! I can't believe in this day and age how rigid your hospital is. On our unit the L&D nurse recovers mom and does the initial assessment on baby. We do not have nursery nurses. During...

  3. L&D nurses: Advice please!

    MrsEd replied to magn1jes's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I personally really appreciate it when my patients have a birth plan b/c it gives me the opportunity to sit down with them and discuss their expectations. While we have standing orders for bedrest...

  4. Recommended Lactation Consultant/Educator class?

    MrsEd replied to exactlywatt's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The single most useful tip Gini taught me was to never work harder than my patients

  5. Recommended Lactation Consultant/Educator class?

    MrsEd replied to exactlywatt's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I completed the Lactation Educator course through UCSD online. Pretty easy course, yet packed full of very useful, applicable information. After completing the LE course, I was in UCSD's lactation...

  6. Need scrub and shoe recommendations please!

    MrsEd replied to KGMM's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I swear by Dansko clogs. Ever since I started wearing them I no longer suffer from lower back pain or knee pain after being on my feet for 12+

  7. Any RNs from Ventura County?

    MrsEd replied to dropRN's topic in California Nursing

    You could check CMH in Ventura or

  8. Help, do Urgent Care clinics hire student nurses?

    MrsEd replied to su9032's topic in Emergency

    Just curious why you're so desperately looking for a position in Urgent Care. Seems like there would be better places suited for a student intern, such as a hospital unit or

  9. Methotrexate in an OB setting

    MrsEd replied to FLOBRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I got two doses of methotrexate when I had an ectopic several years ago, and I don't recall the nurse who administered the injections wearing anything more than gloves Even after 2 doses I still...

  11. New grad needs help deciding which job to take L&D or Dialysis Clinic

    MrsEd replied to mommo5's topic in General Nursing

    If L&D is your passion, I say go for it!! Gain some experience and perhaps a schedule with better hours will become available or you can take your experience and apply for positions that may...

  12. UNR RN/BSN

    MrsEd replied to MrsEd's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Thanks for the info. I applied for the RN to BSN. Fortunately I have all my prereqs complete (it's very helpful that I already have a degree from UNR). So, I guess now I will just wait and see how...

  14. Comfortable Shoes

    MrsEd replied to LatinainOhio's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    All I wear are Dansko professional clogs. They are the only shoes that allow me to be on my feet for 13 hours a day and not get back/knee pain. Any time I wear any other shoes my knees and back are...

  15. Should I quit nursing school...?

    MrsEd replied to jfisher23's topic in General Nursing

    I think this is a fabulous idea :) As a Corpsman did you get acute care experience? If so, you should get your LVN license while you're in school, and perhaps start working as an LVN - it's a great...

  16. male labor and delivery nurses

    MrsEd replied to booluvstrains's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We do not have any males working in our L&D unit, and I for one would LOVE to work with some males. The general attitude from the RN's on my floor seems to be that male RN'S can't work on our...

  17. Working Nightshift as a New Mommy

    MrsEd replied to Mary C's topic in Ob/Gyn

  22. Sharp New Grad Residency Winter 2010/2011

    MrsEd replied to twentysomething's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm not sure to which post you're referring, but I certainly DID have to interview for my new grad position (2 interviews in fact), and I did not previously know a single person within in my...

  23. Sharp New Grad Residency Winter 2010/2011

    MrsEd replied to twentysomething's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If you're really interested in working in the ED, you may consider taking the Emergency Department Nursing Certificate Course through UCSD Extension. There are no guarantees that it will get you a...

  24. Sharp New Grad Residency Winter 2010/2011

    MrsEd replied to twentysomething's topic in First Year After Licensure

  25. Sharp New Grad Residency Winter 2010/2011

    MrsEd replied to twentysomething's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I don't consider myself "junk", thankyouverymuch! Everyone I know who's landed new grad positions, whether ADN or BSN, has sought out other opportunities and taken extra classes that would make them...
