Just finished my OB rotation. Healthy newborns won't have many diagnoses, mostly risk fors. Here are some we have used: Readiness for enhanced parenting r/t bonding and attachment amb parents...
Sounds like you have some serious yuckiness going on. I'm so sorry. I wasn't that sick with either of my kids, a little more so with my second. I ate crackers in bed several minutes before rising and...
I am an 'older' student scheduled to graduate an RN in May. I very much would like to be a hospice nurse. The particular hospital I'm interested in has had a hospice nurse job vacancy for about a year...
I'm not a nurse yet (soon, though!) and can't answer. I might suggest you search the forums with the terms "questions nurses" and you may find answers in previous posts. Good
There have been comments on the board lately about the current state of nursing and how challenging it is to be in this profession. As a soon-to-be graduate nurse choosing to do something meaningful...
Matt59, There was a similar thread on the forum a few weeks ago. If I weren't studying furiously for a respiratory exam, I'd find it for you, but alas, I need to keep my priorities in line. If you...
Hey, I understand completely (or as best I can as a person who does not have an eating disorder). One of my best friends has extreme, treatment resistant bipolar disorder, and her daughter is also...
Just finished my OB rotation and this hospital has 9 LDRPs and 3 gyn rooms. Plus 3 triage beds and its own surgical suite. The hospital where I gave birth twice was about the same setup -- except they...
Awesome, Triage! I have read your posts, maybe even participated in a few threads, and always like what you have to say. You inspire me. I am so happy that a good thing has happened to a fellow nurse...
Yes, it's respiratory slime and oral care for me. Those spittle strings when you pull out the dentures ... gag. I have learned to work quite effectively with my peripheral vision. On the very first...
This week, the Joint Commission was at the hospital where I'm doing clinicals. The nurses kept referring to them as "Jay-co", and I assumed they were mispronoucing the acronym. But when I go to...
I finished my OB rotation today and fell in love. I talked to the nurse manager and I think she's interested in me. Of course, it all depends on what's open when I graduate, etc. I'll have to do...
My instructors probably would have lashed me for not answering the pt! In other words, you can't win. Just yesterday my OB instructor, a WONDERFUL teacher who also does clinicals, responded to my...
Congratulations! Did they ask the question, and how did you answer, if they did? I'll be interviewing soon as a graduate RN and am trying to learn all I can off this forum. Again, good luck in your...
