  1. bargain shopping for books!

    Starting an RN-Bsn-Msn program 10/13. Who has a good site for textbooks? There's a ton out there and I want the best deal ;-)
  2. Is an MSN worth the money?

    My sister (twin) and I have been RNs for 8 years. I specialized in L&D and she specialized in NICU. We love our jobs, but we both enjoy teaching as well. We want to go back for our Master's. The $$ is what is stopping us. We both have two ch...
  3. ADN to MSN online? With no specialty?

    My twin sister and I have been nurses for 8 years (labor and delivery and NICU). We both want an MSN, but do not want midwifery or NNP, or any other specialty. I have done a little research, but maybe the forum can help. We are looking for an online...
  4. ADN to MSN online? With no specialty?

    Lemme edit: I am not wanting to specialize because I don't want to limit myself. If I want a same day surgery center for example one day, I do not want to be overqualified etc. That being said, nurse leadership/education wouldn't limit me to staying...
  5. I know I have to get a BSN soon, but where is the cheapest option? I won't get a raise with a BSN and I don't want to go into debt getting one. Ohio university seems like the place everyone I know goes, but has anyone done the research on the cheapes...
  6. Just a rant rn-bsn

    I see you're from cleveland, have you tried Ohio University? That seems to be a popular one....I am from Cleveland too and am in the search myself.
  7. I don't want to go into debt with no raise :(

    Thank you everyone i will look into there asap.
  8. Best shoes for the job?

    In your opinion what is the best overall shoe for you at work for 12 hours on a busy busy day?
  9. NCLEX Classes: Teaching?

    Ofcourse there are opportunities. A lot of people would like you to have a MSN like a nursing school. Starting form scratch is always an option, but maybe "getting your feet wet" in a company first will help you see if you would like it.
  10. Ob call requirements

    We get a whopping $2/hr to be on call. It should be paid because you have to be ready to go at anytime.
  11. No need in Ohio

    I am a l&d nurse and was looking into the legal nurse consultant. I have an interest in these, especially in maternity cases, but I do not hear there is a need in Ohio for this. Is it possible to work remotely to another location? Experienced leg...
  12. Ob/gyn reading

    Any EFM books or AWHONN books are great!! Casual reading, "Midwives" is a fictional book but an awesome read.
  13. L/D experience for seasoned RN

    I am not sure why they won't look at you. Personally, I would take someone with nursing experience over a new grad. Maybe it's the pay? But still, the managers shouldn't care about that.... Maybe update your resume a little more and see what they wan...
  14. We were told that when I worked night shift. I think it is to cover their butts because nurses cannot treat without orders. Truthfully, the new nurses listened, the experienced ones still triaged like we always do...
  15. Labor and Delivery/Maternal

    Anyone ever hear of telecommuting jobs as case managers for labor and delivery/maternity? I would love to do something like that.
  16. Projects in your OB department

    Curious to hear if anyone has any projects going on in their departments to improve outcomes/patient satisfaction. Just always looking for new ideas :)
  17. The big shoe debate...what I learned

    I have been a nurse for 8 years and I don't know if it is because I am getting older or what, but my legs are always hurting now after 12 hours. I recently went to a seminar for runners and was brave enough to as about the best shoes for nurses. I th...
  18. Projects in your OB department

    Interesting!! I hear you nocturnal about the small hospitals. We are in the process of possibly merging with another local hospital
  19. Sterile Vag Exams: HELP!

    Take your time and check a lot of people. Everyone has different anatomy. Remember back to your first manual Bp when you didn't hear the "thud" at first. You will get it, just keep practicing. Feel for the head and work around there.
  20. Have SO Many questions for experienced RNs in Ob/Gyn Nursng

    I need someone to lay me with the facts and not sugar coat anything and tell me what your average day is like? Average day for me. I get up at 4:30, get my kids ready, my lunch ready, and head into work. I get there by 6:30, look at the "day" for wh...
  21. What companies offer short contracts?

    The lowest contract I have seen is 8 weeks. I also hear of strike nursing that does at least 2 weeks...anyone know any companies that offer short high paying contracts? I am an L&D nurse. If you any ideas for nursing income on the side....I wrote...
