  1. L&D Interview - Tips?

    Idiosyncratic replied to Idiosyncratic's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Oh trust me that situation question threw me WAY off. I did the best I could, stating how I thought it should be handled but admitted that I’d not experienced it. The behavior questions were a print...

  2. L&D Interview - Tips?

    Idiosyncratic posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hello all! So I am a previous postpartum nurse who got out due to a bad situation and kind of regretted life for a while. Ended up in case management home health nursing which instilled that I DO love...

  3. L&D Interview - Tips?

    Idiosyncratic replied to Idiosyncratic's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I wish I would have been able to see this before the interview! I’m pretty sure I bombed it, but who knows. They asked a lot of behavior questions and then a situational question with a preeclamptic...

  4. Drug testing in Las vegas Hospitals...

    Idiosyncratic replied to RUSTY1313's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I had been hired in 2018, and there was no hair testing - just urine. I have known people hired for Mountain View not requiring hair either.

  5. New Grad Burn Out

    Idiosyncratic replied to WickerRN's topic in General Nursing

    Oh dear do I feel you, do I feel you so much. Although I'm in a different world, I always get the heavier loads(many other nurses have made the comment, and even make jokes about not wanting to work...

  6. For anyone who went straight into Mother-Baby/L&D as a new grad, do you have any regrets?

    Idiosyncratic replied to lexxa25's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'll make myself the one weirdo of the bunch, but... I completely regret it. Don't get me wrong, mother/baby can be a phenomenal experience. However, I wish I would have told freshly graduated me to...

  7. Frustrated and Ready to Call it

    Idiosyncratic replied to Idiosyncratic's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I commend you for being able to do this for 15 years - that's seriously incredible. I am pretty much trucking along as best as possible until a feasible solution comes up. Currently, I'm locked in a 2...

  8. Frustrated and Ready to Call it

    Idiosyncratic posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    As many I have read, I have only been a nurse for 6 months now, and my first job was actually in my dream population; mother baby. I've been on my own for a couple months now, and I am absolutely...

  9. Frustrated and Ready to Call it

    Idiosyncratic replied to Idiosyncratic's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have three small children, so these only work so far without being a complete neglect of a parent to them. I attempted to speak with the Director a few times, but there literally is no openings....

  10. Frustrated and Ready to Call it

    Idiosyncratic replied to Idiosyncratic's topic in First Year After Licensure

    My doctor suggests that I switch to days since this is a very new thing for me, and the numbers that he kept getting were not something he liked. I ended up having to call out that night because my...

  11. stethoscope question

    Idiosyncratic replied to Emmypenguin's topic in Ob/Gyn

  12. Frustrated and Ready to Call it

    Idiosyncratic replied to Idiosyncratic's topic in First Year After Licensure

    What about the issues physically being developed in relation to? 160/109 BP, worries about dvts...all from my doctor. Being on hypertension meds already, an antidepressant, and sleeping meds. All of...

  13. ADN L&D position

    Idiosyncratic replied to belle980's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My goal is LD, but I have started with my ADN in PP. I've heard from many that sometimes you can take a stepping stone from postpartum to labor when the timing is right and you're not brand new....

  14. New Grad RN - just got hired in Mother Baby/OB Acute

    Idiosyncratic replied to EileenC's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm only 6 months in on my experience, but the biggest thing I think I could say: be willing to learn, AND jump into situations as they arise! The more you learn, especially while on orientation, the...

  15. WIll I hate Ob-gyn nursing?

    Idiosyncratic replied to Sangrita RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I wanted to throw another opinion out there. Throughout all of nursing school I absolutely despised my med-surg rotation, but once I got into mother baby it was completely different. Labor and...

  16. L&D vs OBGYN

    Idiosyncratic replied to JuliannaJ's topic in Ob/Gyn

    In my hospital we used to use the word OBGYN, and you may be in any of the units(LD, PP, Ante). But now we use specifications for the units. So I don't think it means anything really, just ask during...

  17. ADN L&D position

    Idiosyncratic replied to belle980's topic in Ob/Gyn

    No that's not true at all. Where I live we accept new grads and ADN/ASN in the mother baby units. I'm a new grad ASN and got into PostPartum who will transition to LD.

  18. New Grad Moving Las Vegas

    Idiosyncratic replied to llxzachxll's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Well, I know my unit is hiring like crazy, as is most of my hospital. And they are very new grad friendly, like have hired easily 15 new grads and then some. If you want, you can message me

  19. New Grad Moving Las Vegas

    Idiosyncratic replied to llxzachxll's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Wish I saw this sooner! I definitely would apply at all the VHS hospitals. I lived 400 miles away, and got hired at one of their hospitals in a specialty unit as a new grad. Hope all turns out well!...

  20. Interview Questions?

    Idiosyncratic posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hello everyone! I'm sorry if this is a repetitive question, but most of the threads I've found have been old. I am a soon to be graduated nurse(May!!!) and have an interview for a large hospital in...

    I used UWORLD more than anything else and found it more useful than anything else.
