1. NFP questions

   RUNBNursing replied to hkrn89's topic in Public, Community Health

   Hi! I worked for NFP between 2017 and 2020. I really enjoyed it but towards the end I got a bit bored especially with the virtual visits during the pandemic. However, it's super niche and the...

2. 6 Couplets on Postpartum

   RUNBNursing replied to RUNBNursing's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Supposedly we were checking sitz bath to avoid burning the patients (??). The worst was if I started off with 3 couplets because then I would get 2 or even 3 admissions. This hospital is a...

3. 6 Couplets on Postpartum

   RUNBNursing replied to RUNBNursing's topic in Ob/Gyn

   That sounds a lot more reasonable. The half hour vitals was insanity and I felt bad for the moms that just wanted to rest. Our duramorph patients would get q1h respiratory checks for 24 hours, it was...

4. 6 Couplets on Postpartum

   RUNBNursing replied to RUNBNursing's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I'm in NJ. When I was hired I was told that the ratio at this particular hospital is 5 couplets and if I would be able to handle that. I wasn't sure what was "normal" so I said it was fine. No I know...

5. 6 Couplets on Postpartum

   RUNBNursing posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

   Lately, we have been getting 6 couplets on my postpartum floor. Over the past year, administration has also added a lot of new policies which means more work for us. This includes measuring 2 voids...

7. Trouble getting hospital job with no acute care experience

   RUNBNursing replied to RUNBNursing's topic in General Nursing

   My son was 3 years old when I started with NFP so he was in preschool (free where I live). I could drop him off before work and for a time he stayed in an afternoon program and I picked him up at 5:30...

9. How does your hospital do this? Newborn Assessment Nurse

   RUNBNursing replied to burritoexpert's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Like the previous poster said, it depends on average deliveries per month. The hospital I work for has on average 400 to 450 deliveries per month. On day shift there are generally 3 nurses in the...

10. Was offered an 8 week "Internship " with no guarantee of full time work afterwards

    RUNBNursing replied to RUNBNursing's topic in Nursing Career

    Thank you so much for your your advice, I think you touched on a lot of important points. I know its not comparable, but I went through my BSN program with a newborn and working as a PCT at a big...

11. 5 couplets on mother/baby unit

    RUNBNursing replied to RUNBNursing's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The reduced paid training is definitely BS. This is a non profit catholic hospital so I guess maybe that has something to do with it? Their new grad internships are very competitive since they are the...

    RUNBNursing replied to RUNBNursing's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thank you for your encouraging reply. I was offered the job and will be taking my med exam on Monday! 7 couplets sounds like insanity to me! I hope they treat me nice as a new grad. I agree that...

    Hello all, I need some advice! I just interviewed for a position in the mother baby unit (nights). This hospital has the most deliveries in my region (5000+) a year and they are known for their...

15. Trouble getting hospital job with no acute care experience

    RUNBNursing replied to RUNBNursing's topic in General Nursing

    I have definitely considered branching out to other specialties that are "easier" to get into. I definitely need benefits for myself and my son. I've looked into outpatient surgery but those positions...
