    epiphany replied to nycNurse2b's topic in New York Nursing

    epiphany replied to MAGGIEROCK's topic in New York Nursing

    epiphany replied to daisybaby's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Why is it when things have to be fixed, they have be fixed on the back of nurses? Along the lines of what Hellllo Nurse pointed out, how about the FACT that patient outcomes are improved when the...

    http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0838/is_125/ai_n6116811 Hi sueb: As a future CNM, I've been researching acupuncture for correction of breech presentation. There was a randomized controlled...

  9. Are patients confused about what to call NP's?

    epiphany posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    As future CNM, and possible FNP, I was wondering how patients address you? You are not a Dr., but you taking the same role. You're not playing to traditional hospital nurse role. So, my question, is...

  12. L&D Straight out of Nursing School?

    epiphany replied to Siouxz2's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Places that I've interviewed ranged from 10 weeks to 4 months. In my hospital, it's 6 months, including orientation to med-surg and ICU (was told the ICU skills were necessary because of the cases we...

  13. L&D Straight out of Nursing School?

    epiphany replied to Siouxz2's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Siouxz ; I think if L&D is what you want, go straight into it. Just coming of the job hunting experience in NY, I'll tell you what I've seen from my corner of the world. Best bet - internship...

  14. 12N Sleeping During Break

    epiphany replied to MEDRQST's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    There is a difference between being reported and actually having committed a violation. Anyone can report you, and you definitely have to answer to an accusation, but that doesn't mean it's the law....

  15. Are patients confused about what to call NP's?

    epiphany replied to epiphany's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I brought this up matter because I was thinking about the power of having a title, and the respect it gives to our profession. I mean, there is a reason why doctors are addressed as such. They've...

  16. Feeling depressed about A&P, may drop out of school :(

    epiphany replied to Claudia's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A&P is a b*tch. I totally sympathize with your pain. If it's any consolation, I believe that a strong A&P foundation will serve you well years to come, so look at this as a long term...

  17. 12N Sleeping During Break

    epiphany replied to MEDRQST's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Would you mind sharing that info with us when you've asked them? I am skeptical that the language can be construed to imply that being caught sleeping during break is a violation, but being totally...

    epiphany replied to MEDRQST's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Question is, are you on duty when you are on a break? That said, your violation posted for all to see is

  19. May RN Graduate....Failed First attempt

    epiphany replied to Cntw82BanRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think I see what you are going through. At least I hope. You said yourself you know instinctively that you'll be a great nurse. But sometimes others, especially family, can put so much pressure...

  20. May RN Graduate....Failed First attempt

    epiphany replied to Cntw82BanRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Sometimes life has a way of placing these obstacles in front of us, that's all. My advice is give yourself the right amount of time before you retake. It's not worth having a breakdown trying to do...

  21. Why did you take up nursing? What's your story?

    epiphany replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    I love, love, love your story! I don't know if your parents were using reverse psychology, but I'm going to borrow that trick and try it on my kid if the going gets tough.

  22. 12N Sleeping During Break

    epiphany replied to MEDRQST's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    For what it's worth, in the ICU unit where I worked, there was a snooze lounge for the nurses. It's like a den with sofas, and nurses as well as PCTs can come in to eat, read or NAP during their...

  23. Why did you take up nursing? What's your story?

    epiphany replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't want to be a nurse at all. Hated the idea nursing in fact. It was the only way I could delivery babies - medical school was too expensive and took too long. Hated the "nursing" aspect of...

  24. Post NCLEX Crisis

    epiphany replied to cndynf's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think we need to start a thread on how to relax after taking the nclex. For example: Go to the movies. Catch up on your sleep. Take a Tai Chi or Yoga lesson. Go ballroom dancing. Rock-climbing....

  25. Year off after finishing BSN program?

    epiphany replied to disneyjenca's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If your husband wants to work part-time as a compromise, how about agency work? I heard most agencies want experience, but a friend of mine managed to get agency work right out of school. He started...
