  1. Nurses Who Shouldn't be Nurses

    baby&mommynurse replied to bobnurse's topic in General Nursing

    There seems to be a lot of finger pointing in this thread at who is or isn't the better person. Some people see it as you're a better person for going into nursing because it's your "calling" or you...

  2. heelstick or venous???

    baby&mommynurse replied to kaibigan's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I believe she's from the Philippines, but is nursing in the US. Am I right,

  3. LPN's vs. RN's

    baby&mommynurse replied to scoley's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are places that will hire LPN/LVNs in the field that you want to work in, you just have to look for them. I am an LVN who works in maternal/infant care. My hospital hires LVNs in this area as...

  4. LPN's vs. RN's

    baby&mommynurse replied to scoley's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    scoley- It was probably the way your OP sounded which made some of us not want to respond. LPN/LVNs are given a limited scope of practice based on their education. LPN/LVNs, can practice under their...

  5. LPN's vs. RN's

    baby&mommynurse replied to scoley's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'll second that thought... One thing I will say is I don't think I like where this thread will likely end up

  6. I have hep c--should I continue with school

    baby&mommynurse replied to beginnurse's topic in General Nursing

    You'll probably have to disclose any health conditions you have, including that you have Hepatitis C, however you shouldn't be discriminated against for having it. Though you may have to take extra...

  7. Self-Scheduling

    baby&mommynurse replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Our blank schedules are always left out for about a month prior to being turned in, so we can always go back and change it if something comes up. We can put two Rs (request days that we really need...

  8. How Long Will You Nurse?

    baby&mommynurse replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    I voted on never... but that's because I'm still too young to retire and I have many plans ahead. Also, I'm one of those nurses who love bedside nursing. However, I do plan to drop down to part time...

  9. Other Side of Coin---Less than Humble New Grads

    baby&mommynurse replied to Mystery5's topic in General Nursing

    I'm an LVN and sometimes it's tough having these young know it all new grad RNs run around with their pompous attitudes and act like they know more than I do even though I'm more experienced and...

  10. heelstick or venous???

    baby&mommynurse replied to kaibigan's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    We always do heelsticks unless the lab indicates the need for venous, such as high hematocrits or if we're doing chromosomal

  11. LPN's giving Rhogam

    baby&mommynurse replied to peds2002's topic in General Nursing

    I have given many Rhogam injections... of course, it's always checked when recieved and I always check again prior to administering. Sorry. Don't have a link for you to check

  12. Pacific Coast Highway and sightseeing!

    baby&mommynurse replied to Liddle Noodnik's topic in California Nursing

    Hi... I responded to your other post in The Break Room, but I came across this second thread and wanted to add a couple of other suggestions. Pacific Coast Highway is always an ideal way to get up to...

  13. Self-Scheduling

    baby&mommynurse replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I love self scheduling. It allows me to work only the days I want as long as I work my committed number of days or if I know I need a specific day off, I can request it. It allows me to be very...

  14. Wearing scrubs in public...

    baby&mommynurse replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    I understand the concern and how infections can be transmitted through scrubs... but what about those of us who don't really work in a highly transmittable area, such as the nursery? Where I work,...

  15. Negativity at Nurse's Station is GETTING ON MY NERVES!

    baby&mommynurse replied to Mystery5's topic in General Nursing

    I've learned that some people are just complainers. I know a nurse who can't get through the day without complaining about something. On a good day, it's just one complaint... on a bad day, many...

  16. Nurses Who Shouldn't be Nurses

    baby&mommynurse replied to bobnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I've been sitting back and reading the opinions of the posters on this thread for the past two days and now I'm ready to put in my two cents. I've always wanted to be in the medical field because I...

  17. Crocs Nursing shoes

    baby&mommynurse replied to KrisRNwannabe's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Since hearing so much about Crocs on this website, I decided to buy a pair online. I just got them in the mail yesterday and haven't had a chance to wear them at work yet, but I'm absolutely in love...

  18. 8 hour evening shifts?

    baby&mommynurse replied to HisTreasure's topic in General Nursing

    I used to work 8 hour evening shifts. I liked it for a while and I did it for 2.5 years. I consider myself a night person since I like to be up late at night and I like sleeping in. Working evenings...

  19. newborn registrations

    baby&mommynurse replied to davima3's topic in General Nursing

    As soon as a baby is born, the baby is admitted as a patient by the unit secretary. The baby is issued a medical record number and all information is put into our computer system. Any problems with...

  20. What should I do??? New grad with 2 job offers...

    baby&mommynurse replied to raindrop's topic in General Nursing

    The hospital job will definitely give you more experience and has more opportunities for a new grad nurse... and may even provide more benefits than the convent. Check out what more the convent has...

  21. Rather odd question

    baby&mommynurse replied to FrostyLight's topic in Men in Nursing

    Whether odd or not, I'm sure your question deserves a genuine answer. In my opinion, do whatever you prefer, but hygienically speaking, you probably should wear some form of underwear. Personally, I...

  22. infection control - is it just me?

    baby&mommynurse replied to lionkore's topic in General Nursing

    You're not anal... you're being a good nurse. We also have semi private rooms at my facility and it bugs me to no end when I constantly have to ask the patients and their visitors are to stay on...

  23. If you are a mother/baby nurse, please respond to this student's question.

    baby&mommynurse replied to MommyJoy's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Our hospital is in the process of moving to mother/baby couplet care. For now, I'm mostly a nursery nurse, but I'm also trained in post partum. This was always my favorite clinical rotation in...

  24. is this normal newborn care? advice please

    baby&mommynurse replied to wobble's topic in NICU, Neonatal

  25. Grey's Anatomy Premier!!! + How to Contact Show Creators

    baby&mommynurse replied to miya's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you Gompers. From the beginning, I never really believed the show was knocking nurses... the show IS about residents not nurses. However, I did put my into the producers about how nurses...
