  1. Why are you REALLY going into nursing? Honest answers please.

    ER1010 replied to Sheri257's topic in General Students

    Because you have to go to nursing school to work in obstetrics...thats

  2. Interested in becoming a Neo-natal/Obstetrics Nurse

    ER1010 replied to dayciew139's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Although it may not be the "best" attitude, I don't see why it isn't ok, as long as you are realistic. OB patients can have all sorts of medical and surgical complications. You will need to know all...

  3. NICU and views on abortion

    ER1010 replied to SteveNNP's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I am a nursing student, but I understand why the OP is asking this question, and would also like to know what NICU nurses think. I am inclined to think that people working with such infants views...

  4. The fun side of peds

    ER1010 replied to Honu0612's topic in Pediatric

    Honu, I think they misunderstood you. Don't take it personally, this is just a forum. You wouldn't judge a whole group of people by one person in real life, so don't leave these forums just because...

  5. Why do we need the docs for delivery?

    ER1010 replied to ER1010's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am sure they enjoy births, I just thought since the doc doesn't come in (usually) until the end, that it makes it less fulfilling. It seems to me like some OB's are more interested in special...

  6. Why do we need the docs for delivery?

    ER1010 replied to ER1010's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Just to clarify, I don't mean that obstetricians are not useful, just supposing that they are overused. I don't quite get why a highly qualified physician needs to run in to "catch" the baby on a...

  7. Why do we need the docs for delivery?

    ER1010 replied to ER1010's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Stevie, Can you elaborate on why you wouldn't want to catch the babies? I.e. litigation, complications, after-birth, tears, want someone to help, etc? Just curious, as I am a student.

  8. Advice on x-ray during pregnancy

    ER1010 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I recieved 2 chest x-rays two days after conception. They did not use any kind of shield on me. I know that chest x-rays have very low doses of radiation, but do you guys have experience with this?...

  9. Stirrups? WHY???

    ER1010 replied to RNLaborNurse4U's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Maybe a dumb question, but why are stirrups less preferable than holding a leg? I would think I would like the stability from a

  10. Top Hospitals in the U.S. in clinical quality

  11. What percent of clinicals spent doing gross stuff?

    ER1010 posted a topic in General Students

    Just curious how much time you have spent working with poop, such as enemas, bedpans, nasty clean ups, etc. Also other nasty bodily fluids, such as vomit, discharge, etc..

  12. Anyone else thinking about post-partum units?

    ER1010 replied to LindseyLou2222's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thats what I think I want to do at first. I think it would be a great introduction to maternity, and I eventually want to incorporate l&d. I don't wanna just jump straight into l&d without...

  13. Clinicals: what was the biggest surprise or thing you would have wanted to know?

    ER1010 posted a topic in General Students

    Are clinicals more fun or less fun than you anticipated? Is it harder or easier? What was surprising/different than you expected,

  14. The scoop on Practicums or Preceptorships

    ER1010 posted a topic in General Students

    I am guessing that these are the same things....Do you always get to pick what area you precept in? Or is it a "pick from one of these three choices" type of a thing? Can you do ER, ICU, peds and OB...

  15. Poll: Are there openings in L&D?

    ER1010 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    If a new BSN grad was interviewed today at your hospital, do you think there would be an opening in l&d? Would there be an opening in post-partum/newborn? Please include any info about recent...

    Are you per diem in one specific area: (i.e. OB, NICU, PEDs) or are per diem jobs usually just in

  18. Intimidation Tactics as Teaching Tools?

    ER1010 replied to Catys_With_Me's topic in General Students

    BabsRN, Are you a nursing instructor? If you are can you please let all the potential nursing students where you teach so we can RUN LIKE HELK in the other direction??? LOL, I don't mean to be rude,...

    ER1010 replied to NurseCard's topic in Pediatric

  21. Maternity/OB Clinical Specialist

    ER1010 replied to ER1010's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

  25. Please help me find a nursing school in Philly

    ER1010 replied to Pookybean's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Hey, Well first of all you probably don't need anything beyond algebra for nursing. Maybe pre-calc, but that shouldn't be a main concern. As far as I know the classes you absolutely need are anatomy...
