When you enter the MSN at Frontier, you are already automatically placed on the DNP track....why not just finish there and not have anything to worry about?

Shortly after a mama gave birth, "You behaved exactly how I wanted" While giving an epidural, "Epidurals are actually better for baby" Care to add to the list?

On October 17 I found out that my baby was no longer alive. I was 18 weeks pregnant. I have taken all the time off that I can with PTO and sick leave (I don't qualify for FMLA until January), and I will be returning to work this Sunday. I am very muc...

Maybe she was a TOLAC? Then cytotec would be contraindicated....could still use foley bulb, though. I see many ridiculous reasons for inductions all of the time, and I see many failed inductions as well. Sad, really. Many women don't even know why t...

I lay the Pt flat, no bump, but the HOB elevated at about a 30 degree angle. I usually only leave them like that for about 20 minutes, enough time so that the epidural has time to set up equally on both sides and rise to abdomen level. After that I u...

Thanks so much fo the advice! Ill begin searching in January... hoping for a job offer by march and move in April

I am seriously considering relocating from the Charleston SC area to the Denver area in spring of next year for a variety of reasons, but principally to attend midwifery school. The cost of renting houses there is considerably more expensive than wha...

Thank you. That is much lower than I anticipated, especially considering how much more expensive housing is. Its not much more than what I make as a new grad in sc.

We have plenty of nurses and scrub techs with tons of visible tattoos....not really an issue at my hospital.

Aspiring, I am so disappointed to read these! So, so sad! I wonder why some of these people get into obstetrics/ gynecologics if they have absolutely no regard for women and the sanctity of birth.

Holy cow! This sounds like assault!

mmm, that type of experience will help you to get a nursing job, BUT you will most likely need RN experience before beginning grad school (there are some exceptions to this, depending on which school you attend).

WOW! Please bring unions to the South! There is a large airplane manufacturer in my community whose Machinists Union tried to establish itself here and was literally run off by crazy right-to-work Southerners. The union representatives left a couple ...

Maybe push for baby friendly accreditation? That will implement many of the things that you are talking about. https://www.babyfriendlyusa.org/

I had 13 SATAs and 75, passed, the trick also worked for me.

Not sure, 10 weeks seems short, but maybe some ICU nurses will chime in. It seems like you would be in a supportive environment if you chose the ICU position so that would make the transition easier from orientation to independent nursing. And even ...

This will probably get moved to the nursing with a criminal backgrounds section. If you live in SC, there is a good chance that your DUI will get knocked down to reckless driving without having a firm BAC. That being said, that is still a conviction ...

IMO, it would be easiest to address the reasons for the recent changes in PAP ages and frequency. 5 minutes is not a very long time to talk, so you don't want to get into something that is too complicated.

I would def take the ICU job. I will add, though, 10 week orientation seems a bit short....

Do you mean glycemic control? I know I am a new nurse, but I have never heard of glycerin control....

Could not agree with this more!

Wow.....
