    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to JPF's topic in General Nursing

    Because in real life, you can't skip ahead to the next patient and hope they give you a clue as to how to save the first

  3. Male nurse???'man in uniform'WOW or no way!

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to HOP's topic in General Nursing

    In my years as a nurse, I've become an expert at certain things. I thought one of these things was decoding overly abbreviated charting entries. Congrats HOP, you've stumped

  4. Is it just me? Or is this the nursing school homework hotline?

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to realnursealso/LPN's topic in General Nursing

  5. 1 yr. of prerequisites before I can get into nursing program

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to Gisele's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Gisele! Where I went to school, taking the first year to complete prerequisites was an option, but not a requirement. However, to do all of the primary classes ALONG WITH the nursing classes...

  8. What Freaks You Out?

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to JennieBSN's topic in General Nursing

    What a refreshing change of pace from the venting... I'm an OB nurse, so anything that comes out the "bottom half" I can handle! I'm even OK with vomit. But snot, sputum, or any other respiratory...

  9. DUHHHHH!!

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to burger914's topic in General Nursing

    Don't beat yourself up, burger! We've all done these types of things, and any nurse who says they haven't is LYING! The important thing is that you learned something from it! As a new nurse in post...

  10. BOARDS: Good or bad if computer shuts down @ 75??

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to e-nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Since 75 is the minimum of questions you can receive, shutting off at 75 means that you very clearly demonstrated something. Whether that something is that you are a safe competent nurse or you are a...

  11. Needles

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to Dennis13's topic in General Nursing

    I can definately sympathize nursejanedough! While I don't like shots (Returning to good old Lamaze breathing is the only thing that gets me through), I'd take a shot or a blood draw anyday over a...

  12. Venturing into the Nursing Field

  13. outraged at TV show ER

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to TRN's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmmm. I did see the episode in question. But I did not take offense because I saw it as a representation of the parent's own stupidity and demanding nature, not the producer's. While I wish the...

  14. Suggestions??

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to ShannonB25's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hi Shannon! Is this the same peson who didn't feel it would be beneficial for you to take the course before? Surely there are other instructors in your area who may be willing to offer you the...

  15. Student nurse question r/t OB

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to ShannonB25's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I've been on the post partum unit at my hospital for a year and a half now. Some time back I asked one of our childbirth educators if I could "tag along" to her classes. I thought it would be a good...

  16. Anything nice to say?

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to lorrie's topic in General Nursing

    What a refreshing change of pace from the other posts I've read here! While I realize that nurses often need to vent their frustrations, sometimes I am saddened by the negativity I see here. Yes,...

  17. self medication

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to nimmue's topic in General Nursing

    Hello there! At the hospital I work at, a patient may use their own medications from home for pre-existing conditions if the doctor wries the order stating such ("pt may take own home meds"). We...

  18. Life after L&D?

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to Jhope's topic in Ob/Gyn

    All I was trying to say is that it seems odd to say that you're "following your heart" to an area of nursing, but you're already having thoughts about what you'll do next. Yes, some nurses change...

  19. Life after L&D?

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to Jhope's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I guess I'm just confused by your question. Where would you like to go? Are you talking about moving up to management, or moving on to other areas? I too followed my heart to OB/Women's Health....

  20. post partum postion

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to DM's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Your main duties as a post partum nurse are maternal/infant saftey, and LOTS of teaching! It's a different kind of nursing, one you definately have to love to do it. As for all interviews, relax!...
