  1. May 2008 grads....how are things going?

    zahryia replied to marilynmom's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Took my NCLEX on July 7th (I think), took a quick vacation and started working on July 21st. I have an amazing opportunity having gone straight to L and D. Having said that, my job is starting to irk...

  2. Hold that Push!

    zahryia replied to moz's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That's crap. That piece of paper will not help you in a lawsuit. See if you can get another

  3. Aspiring CNMs who work L&D

    zahryia replied to bebeleche's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    It should be ok to reveal this, but I would play by ear. I think at the end of the day, they want to know that you won't bounce after a year and a

  4. Help! best places to live

    zahryia replied to Proverbs 16:3's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Those places sound familiar but I can't say for sure. In general, I would say Mt. Vernon would a good fit, since you don't want a car. You can catch the JHH bus at Penn Station for free. Actually,...

  5. I do not think I can make it in L&D... devastated

    zahryia replied to RNKatrinaK's topic in Ob/Gyn

    zahryia replied to MamaT's topic in General Nursing

    Good for you! I hope it works out

  8. UMD vs. Johns Hopkins

    zahryia replied to NeuroNP's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Very true. They get a bunch of nurses from out of state/area who are impressed with the Hopkins name and cache and willing to work for a decreased pay. Depending on your floor, you might get that...

  9. new grads entering L&D

    zahryia replied to stelarRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I respect the nurses who think that med-surg experience is needed before you enter L and D, however I decided to go straight into L and D. I did a Med/Surg preceptorship in my senior year and HATED...

  10. A few CNM questions

    zahryia replied to Smark35's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    They're a bunch of crybabies. I don't know how you can call for increased supervision when the outcomes are superb with CNMs. It's ridiculous. But alas, we live in the U.S of A and money talks, so...

  11. Rescheduled Frontier Interview

    zahryia replied to RNLaborNurse4U's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Yeah!!! I'm so glad it went well. Keep us posted on the decision. In general, how far in advance do you have to apply for a class. I'm considering entering grad school in September. I will have had...

  13. How much do YOU make as a new CNM and what state?

    zahryia replied to luvLnD's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Good luck with getting this info. I don't think we get a lot of practicing midwives who post. It's mostly those of us who are thinking about the career or are currently in school. Epiphany posted...

  14. Rescheduled Frontier Interview

    zahryia replied to RNLaborNurse4U's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I'm sorry you're going through this. I'm sure you'll shine on your interview. Good luck to you and let us know how it

  15. First week on the job

    zahryia replied to JentheRN2007's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Very true. When things get hectic, no one cares you know the dfference between short term and long term variability (not sure it's even considered anymore), the key is knowing what to do, and that...

  16. Making ends meet in NYC

    zahryia replied to njxcrush18's topic in New York Nursing

    As for as groceries, go into more modest neighborhoods for food shopping. You'd be amazed at the price differences. These neighborhoods tend to be Asian (i.e. your closest 'Chinatown'), Latino or...

  17. Yelled At During A C-Section (Among Other Things)

    zahryia replied to RN1981's topic in Ob/Gyn

    RN1981, I feel your pain. While I haven't been yelled at, I've been snipped and I've had to just get over. Thicker skin is definitely key. Give it 4 more weeks and assess how you feel and just take...

  18. Starting UPenn this summer

    zahryia replied to epiphany's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I appreciate your honest feedback. I almost got caught up in the name versus the experience. I still question myself sometimes, but your post puts everything in

  19. Nurse Residency Programs

    zahryia replied to boykinm's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    NYU, Hopkins, Washington Hosptial Center and University of Maryland. I think Columbia Presb has one, but you have to had done clinicals there in order to

  20. How do you keep your Med/Surg Skills Fresh?

    zahryia replied to zahryia's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Sigh, to be young :wink2: Because you have time on your side, I'd probably go into Mother/Baby first. I'm in my mid-thirties and because a) I'm on a midwifery track and b) I a'int getting any...

  21. Best nursing (skills) books, CEU's, Online courses etc.

    zahryia replied to CA_LVN's topic in General Nursing

    I like 'Nursing Made Incredibly Easy'. It's nursing back to basics type of journal. Easy and fun

  22. L&D new graduates at Holy Cross Hospital

    zahryia replied to RNlovesL&D's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Honestly, it's too early to tell. I've only been in orientation a couple of weeks. So far, so good. They really are good about providing both a didatic and hands-on orientation. Ty promote...

  23. L&D new graduates at Holy Cross Hospital

    zahryia replied to RNlovesL&D's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I would check into other area hospitals as

  24. L and D Job Concerns

    zahryia posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I see recurring posts where people post that L and D can be stressful and physically demanding. Can you tell me exactly what you mean by that? I have a job offer for postpartum and hopefully will...

    zahryia replied to Belinda-wales's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM
