Siri or Smiling-- Just curious if anything new has been released in terms of research on this issue? I just changed hospitals and at my old hospital we did 250-300 births a month and therefore Amnio's quiet frequently. Our policy was a 300 cc bolus...

I just started at a new hospital and some of their protocols are a bit different than what I'm used to. I'm wondering if any of you can give me a little clarification. Where I was working, we did all IV's to gravity and only ran pit, mag, insulin e...

Hello all...I want some honest, straight forward responses here. I've been an OB nurse since November 2005--I started in postpartum and then began L&D training in January 2006. So I'm getting close to a year of L&D experience and am dying to...

I'm thinking about taking my first assignment in Wichita with Access Nurses. Has anyone out there done a travel assignment with them there? Or with another company? I'm trying to find out if the rate they are offering is right. Since I'm new at a...

How many of you L&D nurses who have been traveling for a while are ACLS certified? At my current hospital, this is not a requirement so I haven't done it but I am contemplating starting traveling soon and am worried that there will be hospitals ...

So how much experience do you need to do agency work? And does anyone know pay rates for travel RN's?

I was supposed to be "Crystal Bell"....thank goodness I ended up w/ a better twist! I had parents the other day w/ the names Douglas and Diana spelled: Duglas and Dayana Different but noones ever sure exactly what the name is I suppose.

Congrats on graduating! I just moved out here in oct. from Omaha (but I'm originally from KS and got my first degree from K-State) and didn't have much of a problem finding a place. I think it was relatively easy to find something on Craigslist. y...

I tried sending you a pm but your inbox is full...I'd love to ask you some questions. email me? thx! j

I just always laugh and say..."nope. not yet! Have to find a boyfriend first!" Then I tell them that I'm content right now to just deliver babies, play with them and then be able to give them back to their parents. Usually people just laugh at me....

Hello-- I am just finishing the L&D training program at Mills-Peninsula in Burlingame and am thinking about finding some per diem work in the next few months and would love CPMC b/c I know it gets some higher risk stuff (since we transport to you...

seriously, I was having this same issue 2 1/2 years ago. I did prereqs at El Camino College in Torrance and then hated Mt. st. mary's program and couldn't bear to do CSULB's in the first year. So I went to Creighton University in Omaha, NE. They'...

I think it's great! I'm not surprised to see UCLA come up with this since Cal State Long Beach started an accelerated BSN program a year ago and the only school in this market in LA was Mt. St. Mary's. What all of you naysayers have to realize is t...

I saw some show on MTV the other day and the 18 y/o girl's name was Diamond Champagne.

It's so nice to know I'm not alone out there on the--"hey...leave me alone for 5 seconds so I can organize my thoughts instead of focusing on you nagging me!!" Supposedly this too shall pass and we'll all be better for it in the end. Thanks for sha...

Ok so I have a question. The other night a Doc was doing a SVE on my labor patient and said "she's 1-2, 70, 0 and very posterior. When they say this...what do they mean w/ the posterior comment? Like is the baby OP? or her cervix is posterior?? ...

THANKS ALL!!! I'm so lost when it comes to vag exams but I know I have to just keep practicing to get it down...

dead serious. No aguanto means "I can't stand it".

SpudID-- Hang in there! I'm only a few months into my orientation too but I had an idea that might help you w/ the Spanish speaking patients. I speak Spanish as does my preceptor so we get most of our Spanish deliveries. Even though I speak Spanis...

Ok so I am from LA but am now living in the midwest (moved here last year to go to an accelerated BSN program) and am moving to SF in October. I'm trying to find a position in the ED, Peds, ICU or L&D in the Bay area and ideally want a new grad ...

I heard the fingerprinting thing was an ordeal. Now I have them done already on the paper form but I've heard it's better to go through the live scan process b/c it's quicker for verification. Do you or anyone else know if this is true? I've done ...

yea!!! I leave next Wed. so maybe I'll see ya when I'm there for my interviews. Congrats on the new job and making the move successfully. Any advice on the Sac trip for the temporary license???

Hello acebsn05-- did you by any chance go to Drexel's accelerated program? My friend just graduated from that program. Anyway..I have interviews set up with California Pacific Med Ctr and I know they are having some job fair on Fri. Oct. 21st which...

You should check out Creighton University's accelerated program in Omaha, NE. I know I know...it's the midwest but I just finished it and I would recommend it 100 times over to anyone! It's only 11 months which is great and you do 58 credits and ab...

Thanks SherBear!! Now that moving is less than 2 weeks away I'm getting a little more love from the HR people in the area. Now it's just packing, packing, packing!!!
