  1. The most ridiculous birth plans you've had the pleasure of reading

    dariah replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    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...

  2. how do you push with your patients?

    dariah replied to violet_violet's topic in Ob/Gyn

    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...

  3. How is the job market in California right now (2012)?

    dariah replied to Joe33's topic in California Nursing

    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...

  4. New Nurse

    dariah replied to meganfilzen7's topic in General Nursing

    Ahhhh I'm planning on moving from NY to MN as well. You'll have to let me know how things work out. My first project will be getting my MN

  5. OB/GYN nurses!?

    dariah replied to JZ_RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    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

  6. Rn salary in new york city

    dariah replied to hmacey's topic in New York Nursing

    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...

  7. Reputation of Manhattan Hospitals

    dariah replied to FutureCRNA15's topic in New York Nursing

    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...

  8. The youngest new mother's you've seen

    dariah replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't think I've seen younger than 15, but tonight I saw a G8P2 who was 22. Aye aye

  9. give up or keep looking?

    dariah replied to kgowiern's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Most schools I think now are requiring students to find their own clinical sites now. Maybe you'd be able to work with a local

  10. Reputation of Manhattan Hospitals

    dariah replied to FutureCRNA15's topic in New York Nursing

    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...

  11. New York Presbyterian PHARM EXAM!

    dariah replied to janetrette's topic in New York Nursing

    Lasix and heparin are bound to show up. Study side effects of beta blockers, ACE inhibitors,

  12. give up or keep looking?

    dariah replied to kgowiern's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Is traveling not an option at all? My school in Minnesota is mostly online but I have to go to campus 3 times per

  13. How do you pronounce...?

    dariah replied to violet_violet's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Mon-tay

  14. Really sad :(

    dariah replied to NOLAmommy3's topic in Ob/Gyn

    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...

  15. Fertility / Infertility Nursing???

    dariah replied to Sl1011's topic in Ob/Gyn

    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...

  16. How is the job market in California right now (2012)?

    dariah replied to Joe33's topic in California Nursing

    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...

  17. How is the job market in California right now (2012)?

    dariah replied to Joe33's topic in California Nursing

    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...

  18. How often do you document fht's?

    dariah replied to at your cervix's topic in Ob/Gyn

    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...

    We were using

  20. NYP housing

    dariah replied to i.am.a.nurse's topic in New York Nursing

    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...

  21. New York Presbyterian PHARM EXAM!

    dariah replied to janetrette's topic in New York Nursing

    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...

  22. LI to NYC commute

    dariah replied to 13905 BSN's topic in New York Nursing

    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...

  23. New York Presbyterian PHARM EXAM!

    dariah replied to janetrette's topic in New York Nursing

    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...

  24. New York Presbyterian PHARM EXAM!

    dariah replied to janetrette's topic in New York Nursing

    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...
