  1. Working at River Region Medical Center

    Hi Amber, I'll be at work Monday night so anywhere from 8p-7a would be a good time to try.
  2. Working at River Region Medical Center

    Every job- unit is what you make it. Right now I hear rumblings about the 36 hour work week that we just went too. I used to commute to Jackson but that got old so I had to take a break. As with...
  3. OR -C/S QUESTIONS

    The amount the circulator has to do in our c-sec is crazy- and you have to do more! Our nursery does receive baby from surgeon, so that is at least one thing. We do a base count (before entering or...
  4. IBCLCers? Started down the road, anyone else?

    Good Luck! I've been an IBCLC for 2 years and it means more to me than my RN (just bay a small margin though :-) )
  5. Cardiac to OB??

    My thougths are that the first year in nursing is really just figuring out your nursing practice. I spent 10 months on a telelmetry unit fulltime & PRN in a little county ER then I went to...
  6. Vag exams with sterile gloves or regular gloves?

    We use sterile gloves. Heck I want my care providers to wear sterile gloves to do anything to me (I'm only slightly kidding). Glove boxes are
  7. Titers

    Most programs have a release clause regarding Hep B vaccination. The titers come back relatively quickly. I would get the titer and then if you are not immune, get the first shot, check titer again...
  8. CHS nurses

    We are new to the CHS system too. I'm not real sure what I think of it yet. I'm new to the hospital (almost a year) and that is about the same length of time CHS has been here. We have been seeing...
  9. RN jobs still available in MS-central?

    Honestly- I don't know. How long has it been since you've done floor nursing? ACLS and EKG are definitely helpful. Masteral units- I don't know what that is, but if it is just more education to work...
  10. RN jobs still available in MS-central?

    Are you here yet? If not- there are jobs. But I hear different things lately about some places in jackson having hiring freezes and freezing extra benefits, but I heard Jackson nurses go a base raise...
  11. Nursing school & kids

    I am a single mom with 4 kids ages 3-10.I just finished nursing school. It is absolutely doable- especially if you have family and friends willing to help. Good Luck!
  12. Honestly ,I don't know. I took it. My BSN class is really amazingly smart. Most of them will pass NCLEX on the first try and will make excellent nurses. I do thing the system has failed them. I...
  13. Choosing The LPN track over RN

    Hi I didn't forget about you. I just didn't run into my friend the way I normally would over the holidays. She got tired of dealing with Hinds and applied to start in the Fall at lousiana tech...
  14. Wia

    I don't know what it is called in Louisiana. But it may be a place to look ofr info. Here each school has its own program guidelines and they can tell you more or call the unemployment office and...
  15. State Hospital "Whitfield"

    It is a beautiful campus. Apparently in the next 10 years they will have brand new buildings. They have an educational leave program that you can apply for while still a student that pays you and your...
