  1. Nurse calls in because of herpes outbreak

    zahryia replied to nurseby07's topic in General Nursing

    This was a really interesting thread. I hope we all learned something today about our prejudgices and general lack of knowledge about certain health conditions. As we continue to care for our...

  2. What is the difference between what a CNM does and an NP of the same specialty?

    zahryia replied to justme1972's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Did you mean CNM (as in midwife) or CNS (as in certified nurse specialist). If you meant the latter, then the above link will provide you the answer. If you meant CNM, then the difference would be...

  3. AWHONN Convention!!

    zahryia replied to JaneyW's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I would have loved to go. Too much going on right now, but hopefully next year I'll be in

  4. going from graduation to L&D

    zahryia replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Geez, if that doesn't do it, I don't know what will. Perhaps you could join AWHONN, but other than that, I think you have it covered. P.S. I'd probably take out the midwifery information. Depending...

  5. Help! best places to live

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

    Then I'd recommend Towson. Good luck with your

  6. Help! best places to live

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

    Parkville is actualy just to the right of Towson...like 5 minutes away I actually commuted to both Hopkins and a job that was literally one block from Mercy, so I can tell you about both commutes....

  7. Help! best places to live

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

    I used to live there! I had a decent experience living there, although management was extremely nasty. If you plan on having a car, I wouldn't do it, because the parking fees are atrocious. Also,...

  8. Integrative Medicine/CAM and OB

    zahryia posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Have any of your nursess and/or units tried or embraced using CAM on your floors? (aside from doulas) There's supporting research to show that aromatherapy and acupressure may have a positive efffect....

  9. Frontier Clinical Bound

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

    I hope this is not your main concern-as you stated several reasons- for not wanting to do this, because your population will certainly comprise of women with histories of sexual abuse/assault and/or...

  10. Haven't recieved ATT code! (DC)

    zahryia replied to zakuro's topic in General Nursing

    Ditto.......

  11. Waiting on word for admission

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

    I hope to apply in a year. I'm really excited for you! Good

  12. Integrative Medicine/CAM and OB

    zahryia replied to zahryia's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That's interesting. I love learning alternative strategies. Sounds much better than a straight

  13. any current ob-gyn NPs? need advice, please...

    zahryia replied to withoutxyou's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would post this in both the NP and CNM threads. You won't get a lot of responses here. As for being a OB/GYN NP, the more appropriate term is 'Womens Health Nurse Practioner'. In that capacity...

  14. Integrative Medicine/CAM and OB

    zahryia replied to zahryia's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Wow! That's kind of sad but funny. At the end of the day, I'm sure she was happy with her baby. I'm surprised there aren't more replies. There's too much research out there that shows the benefits...

  15. Mercy medical center

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

    I've never worked at Mercy, but I used to live in the neighborhood. The neigborhood is absolutely fine. At night, it gets a little deserted, so you just have to be aware of your surroundings; as in...

  16. Tell me what you think....

    zahryia replied to OBbethie's topic in Ob/Gyn

    At first I thought she should get fired too, but now that I think of it, I've asked the nurses on the floor to give me an EKG before. They were willing but we never got around to it. Just to be...

  17. Distance Degree in Holistic Nursing or Alternative Medicine

    zahryia replied to alphabet's topic in Holistic

    I thnk we need to explore all options as they're not enough RN 'holistic' programs. Honestly, I don't think any of the CAM programs should have a BSN or MSN attached to it. It looks good on your...

  18. Any Iowa OR nurses on this site??

    zahryia replied to RNERHOUSESUPOR's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry to hijack this thread, but how are the Iowa nurses doing with the flooding going

  19. Should a Risk manager who is a nurse also perform direct patient care

    zahryia replied to christyPI71's topic in Quality Improvement

    I don't like it for the reason that was posted here. While I think it's great for a Risk Manager to continue to do floor work, I think it should be at another hospital. It just doesn't sit well...

    zahryia replied to Flagger03's topic in General Nursing

    I think the dues are roughly $100 a month and the parking is only $25 a

    Ac, what specialities did your friends work

  22. Need a Hopistal Job with Tuition Reimbursement

    zahryia replied to NCC21's topic in New York Nursing

    You explained just fine. I don't think it's a bad idea if you can juggle work and school at the same time. Unless you already have your CNA license, you most likely need to pass...

  23. Anyone doing HEDIS???

    zahryia replied to ARBY's topic in Quality Improvement

    Arby, is this a job you do in addition to a FT Staff position? Or do you do the Hedis job FT? I'm interested in doing this as a PT gig if possible, but I'm a new grad, however I have 5 years of QI...

  24. CNM/WHNP Programs (Georgetown/UPenn)

    zahryia replied to birthmamaew's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi, I'm bumping this thread to see what experiences people have had with Georgetown or UPenn. Any comments would be helpful.

  25. which cities are the best for CNM opportunities?

    zahryia replied to dinah77's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I think this is a great question. I would GUESS that San Francisco would be another great city, but perhaps it's a bit competitive due to the UCSF midwifery program. I'm not
