  1. How to Choose Facilities?

    Idiosyncratic posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hey Everyone, I just recently got three offers for very different facilities and I'm wondering what is your biggest thing to focus on when it comes to making a decision? I've tentatively made a...

  2. How to Choose Facilities?

    Idiosyncratic replied to Idiosyncratic's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I chose the first one with the retirement. I had initially(before the first one got back to me) tentatively accepted the lower volume one. However, I rescinded my tentative acceptance given a much...

  3. Moving to Arizona

    Idiosyncratic replied to nurseinthecity11's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Surprise is pretty good, but just a warning - housing is gnarly right

  4. How to Choose Facilities?

    Idiosyncratic replied to Idiosyncratic's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thank you. I had tentatively accepted the slower hospital, but I was worried the commute would burn me over time. Since I do want to travel nurse(many many many years down the road), the volume of...

  5. Help ! Tips to switch from a Med-surg nurse to an L&D nurse

    Idiosyncratic replied to Honey J's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Honestly, the biggest thing I would suggest is you need to find ways to stand out. Do an Introduction to Fetal Heart Monitoring Course and the Intermediate(usually the minimum they want for these...

  6. Burnout in HH

    Idiosyncratic replied to 1999nurse's topic in Home Health

    THIS! My agency just recently decided they were going to give us oncall rotations. I asked if we could get a day off in the week following if our weekend was full. Which it's likely going to be. I was...

  7. Can you get AZ nursing license if under investigation in another state?

    Idiosyncratic replied to nurseinthecity11's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Honestly, I would guess that it would depend on how it is being reported at the other nursing board. Best advice, contact the AZBON and ask them. Their website may have a few directions for you as...

  8. Did I pass NCLEX?

    Idiosyncratic replied to Alyssa RN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Is it the temp RN number they issued you? If so, no it does not necessarily mean that you passed. However, if they gave your permanent number without the giant TEMP#######, then I'd say you passed....

  9. L&D at a small hospital- is it worth it?

    Idiosyncratic replied to SJaae's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Honestly, I think it'll really depend. I know that oncall where I was you had to be within 30 minutes of the hospital. There were nights where we had absolutely no patients. It's very inconsistent. I...

  10. Best hospital to work in Las vegas

    Idiosyncratic replied to osis's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I know the valley health system usually does. So any of those hospitals will generally work.

  11. CNA in L&D

    Idiosyncratic replied to rily.winkler's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My first facility hired NA’s for postpartum but not for labor and delivery. In postpartum they would do vital signs, help take patients off the floor at discharge, stock rooms, sometimes help with...

  12. Tips to be a stand-out OB/GYN new grad applicant

    Idiosyncratic replied to jenn42729's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I was able to get into mother baby/postpartum fresh out of nursing school but I was also willing to move 7 hours from where I was at the time living. I was able to land the job before I even...

  13. New Grad in L&D

    Idiosyncratic replied to ToHealTheSick's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I would say, if they are knowing you’re a new grad and not expecting you to get certificates- everything you’ve done is ample preparedness! Be prepared to learn, ask questions, take advice and...

  14. Job Shadowing After Interview in LDRP

    Idiosyncratic posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hello all! I landed another interview with an LDRP training program in my area more up north where it'll bee cooler. Anyways, they want to do an interview followed by shadowing a nurse for a...

  15. Job Shadowing After Interview in LDRP

    Idiosyncratic replied to Idiosyncratic's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Figured I would update; I got the job!!

  16. Job Shadowing After Interview in LDRP

    Idiosyncratic replied to Idiosyncratic's topic in Ob/Gyn

    OK, awesome, thank you! I'm just glad it's AFTER my interview. The last one I had was before, and my hair was a complete mess..they also didn't let me change out of the scrubs into my interview...

  17. Job Shadowing After Interview in LDRP

    Idiosyncratic replied to Idiosyncratic's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thank you for this! I am not a new grad, I have 2.5 years in postpartum, home health and med surg. Im very nervous because I know this will end up being an extenuation of my interview. But I will take...

  18. How long did it take for AZ BRN take to accept your fingerprint card?

    Idiosyncratic replied to blossomingnurse's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I transferred from NV and was able to get mine expedited because I had a job offer already. Once they realize that, it seemed to go MUCH more quickly. They gave me a temporary one, at first, expiring...

  19. Is it appropriate to "show off" that you are a Nurse on social media?

    Idiosyncratic replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    I don't totally think it's intended to just "get attention for attention's sake," at least. From the individuals that I work with, and know - it became a huge thing to somewhat "share" what being a...

  20. How Does This End?

    Idiosyncratic replied to MeganMN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Same. My husband and I have already contemplated this, depending on future

  21. KN95 mask?

    Idiosyncratic replied to guest1143647's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Mine doesn't even require that. They just throw it at you and say good

  22. KN95 mask?

    Idiosyncratic replied to guest1143647's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I have been wondering the same exact thing. When I first tried on a KN95, it was stabbing me in the eyes, wasn't fitting around my face well, and my glasses kept fogging up. I ended up having to kind...

  23. Types of Maternity Nursing?????

    Idiosyncratic replied to Jordan1927's topic in Ob/Gyn

    In my old maternal child unit, I worked in "postpartum" technically. However, many of our staff also had mother/baby on their badges. So, just because it says mother/baby does not necessarily mean...

  24. Dealing with Pets

    Idiosyncratic replied to Nursevibes's topic in Home Health

    ✋ That was me. 3 weeks antibiotics, puking my guts up repeatedly, multiple visits to the workman's comp person and an ER visit. My company doesn't force animals to be put away, but you bet your butt...

  25. Dealing with Pets

    Idiosyncratic replied to Nursevibes's topic in Home Health

    I know this thread is a bit older, but I wanted to put my two cents in. As a home health nurse who loves animals and has taken a dog class - I was the unfortunate one who got attacked by one rendering...
