    The postpartum nurses at my hospital are the ones who train and do transition nursery, Which means they go to all deliveries of babies over 37 weeks. Not every PP nurse is trained in transition...

    Needing encouragement and insight

    Ashes172 replied to gingie1987's topic in General Students

    When I went into nursing school literally ever semester my friends and I would say "it'll be better next semester once we just get past this class".... It was never better. I know it's hard(not just...

    Needing encouragement and insight

    Ashes172 replied to gingie1987's topic in General Students

    Honestly, this sounds like it's well within the norm for nursing school. They work really hard to set up clinicals so there isn't much say in scheduling that they have hence not many options for you....

    Should I take a year off before nursing school?

    Ashes172 replied to NegNic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You could get your EMT or CNA and get some experience during your year off of school. Help get you more comfortable in the field and start making connections. A CNA is faster but you can do more with...

    Leaving my first job

    Ashes172 replied to pixiestudent2's topic in General Nursing

    What about working in a GI lab? There are other M-F nursing jobs. Ultimately it's up to you and your priorities. How would it work for you if you had 3 12's, weekends and possibly night shifts? What...

    Nursing student vs Parent?

    Ashes172 replied to Lrodrig1089's topic in General Students

    I started nursing school with a 2 year old, I'm graduating next month with a 4 year old and 10 month old. Nursing school is hard without kids, so with kids, yeah, it's harder. Worth it? To me I...

    Which should I choose - Preferred OB position in small town or Rehab job in dream town?

    Ashes172 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I'd take the OB job where you currently are because it will be much easier to get a job in that unit in Boise after you have experience. If you move it could be a long time before you get your dream...

    I hate nursing school (and it is not because it is hard)

    Ashes172 replied to baleen's topic in General Students

    Nursing is my second career. First degree was chemistry/biology and I was naive and thought nursing classes would be similar to science class. Ha! Boy, was I wrong! My first semester when I was just...

    CNA over the summer? EMT?

    Ashes172 replied to vic42975's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Personally I would go for the EMT over the CNA. I have my CNA and wish I would have done EMT instead. To me it is more useful and will give you a better heads up. Also depends in what you want to do...

    Ashes172 replied to queenofthenile's topic in General Students
