Unfortunately, my hospital is not very conducive to natural laboring. Upon admission, orders go in for everyone to be clear liquids, continuous EFM and toco, and LR running at 125 ml/hr. For any woman...
We do three pushes counting to ten each contraction. I usually have her start on her back to get the hang of it, then try side pushing or sometimes the squatting bar if her legs aren't too numb (which...
Usually you need at least 1, if not 2, years of experience in your particular field before joining with a travel agency. When you get your assignment, you only have a day or two of orientation to get...
When I worked in infertility we usually used Yasmin if we needed to alter a menstrual cycle. The PA I worked with loved Nuvaring and recommended that a
Yes, the way of life in NYC is fast paced and the patient population can be very demanding. (We often have to remind our pts that this is a hospital, not a hotel.) But at the same time I've worked...
Well, they're usually not in the best/safest neighborhoods, for starters. Again, with the exception of Bellevue, the city hospitals in Manhattan are in Central and East Harlem. And while I would work...
All hospitals in Manhattan are teaching hospitals and all pretty decent (at least the private ones.) NY Presbyterian Columbia and Cornell rank highly. NYU and Mt. Sinai have good reps, too. I've heard...
I wanted L+D right after school, too, and tried to avoid med surg. It was especially hard when my friends got their first jobs in pecs, OR, ER, and ICU. They all had connections and I didn't and I...
I used to work in a fertility clinic. I loved the work and my coworkers. It the administration was impossible to work with. Someday, in a different city, I'd like to try it again. Everyday was a...
That is exactly part of her point. Currently she works under her own license and can run her practice as she pleases, and she said in CA the nurse practice act doesn't allow MHNPs to be free agents...
Sounds frustrating. :-( my husband will be starting a new job in LA next year, and I've only done a bit of preliminary research. However, several hospitals in SoCal seem to be advertising positions...

Like most of you, we document q 30 with no intervention and q 15 once there is pit or an epidural. Part of protocol upon admission is continuous monitoring. Not many women complain since most don't...
I'm eager to learn more, too. The website showed nice pictures and descriptions of all the buildings, but nothing about prices (go figure.) I currently live on York Ave in the 80s and love it....when...
I think there is some issue with that practice test being down from the NLN's website. The nurse recruiter mentioned something about not being able to access that which "we can do nothing about." But...
One of my coworkers takes the LIRR in everyday from Huntington. Train+subway she says is 90 minutes each way. Poor thing, I don't know how she does it. When it snows, she's stuck out there. She...
I was given a practice exam from the HR recruiter, 60 questions. Similar in style to the exam I took, but the material varied. When I log on to the NLN website, I don't see many options. I took the...
I just failed, too. Not by much, so I'm hoping for the best next week. I only got a breakdown in terms of percentages, no review of the actual questions. I'm studying ACE inhibitors, beta...
