Yeah, I think it will be neat! Last year I know there was an ankle sprain, but not much else. It's just a neat feeling. It was neat just going back as a counselor - now I get to be both! I also...
Hi, I am going to be camp nurse next week at the church camp we are going to. I am an OB nurse by profession, so am a little rusty on my first aid interventions. I can use common sense, but...
Yeah, I know I'll just be a band-aid queen (LOL) but I guess I get a little uneasy out of my element. I don't think there will be a need for an OB nurse there - (we hope) LOL. I figure it will be...
I am an RN in OB/PP/Nsy and we were required (until recently) to take call every 6 weeks from Friday 7pm to Monday 7am - that equals an entire weekend of basically house arrest. Making sure you have...

Well, I can give my my experience. I graduated last May, and was very fortunate to start in OB - as that has always been my goal - the whole reason I went to nursing school in the first place. Anyway,...
