  1. Workload split between RNs/CNAs

    expectant replied to Alpha13's topic in General Nursing

    CNAs and PCTs (the title and particular tasks they can do are determined by the hospital) do things that the RN is able to delegate to them. Being able to delegate it does not mean that you will...

  2. Just started, and found out Im pregnant?!

    expectant replied to iwannabeaLVN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    congrats!! I would wait until you are past your probation period, if possible. You should have insurance set up by then and it would be a little harder to get rid of you if they wanted to. Not all...

  3. Expecting RN- Would like suggestions

    expectant posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hi all- long time lurker, first time posting. I'm an RN with absolutely no experience with L+D. None, nada, zip. All I know is that boiling the water is to keep the menfolk out of the way. :) I'm...

    expectant replied to expectant's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks for the ideas! I forgot to mention in my first post that I had been snacking on little things often during the day and drinking gingerale to help. I tried ginger altoids but, well, yuck. I...

  8. Expecting RN- Would like suggestions

    expectant replied to expectant's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Glad to hear your'e doing well! You're a few weeks ahead of me but I'll catch up in the end. My doc OK'd Vitamin B6, and gave me Zofran but I've actually felt much better the last couple days and...

  9. X-Ray Exposure

    expectant replied to Missa's topic in MICU, SICU

    I'm a pregnant ICU nurse, too, and I can tell you what I found out. At 6 feet away from the radiation source, there is no measurable exposure. That's true in cath lab and angio, where we sometimes...
