  1. Pregnant L&D RN

    not2bblue replied to starry01's topic in Ob/Gyn

    most of the questions are fairly typical for pregnant women to be asked. What are you having, are there twins, how long have you been married, is your husband happy about the baby, how far along are...

  2. CAREER help

    not2bblue replied to Maree87's topic in Ob/Gyn

    curious why you would consider Dental hygiene if you can't stand being in the dentist

  3. CAREER help

    not2bblue replied to Maree87's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Doctors can be jerks too. Only a minority nurses work in settings outside of the hospital if they want to work in women's health. (generally when they get burned out plus they will want you to have...

  4. Switching from LDRP to Labor and Delivery

    not2bblue replied to Kdavisobrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You have the opportunity to train in L&D but worry it might be too much, however you also ask if you have enough experience to do travel L&D? Respectfully, why would you take a travel...

  5. Wearing Scrubs Outside of the Workplace

    not2bblue replied to NewGradRN114's topic in General Nursing

    Just to add this, but if your scrubs are being washed in the same washing machine as your regular clothes (even in a separate cycle with bleach between), your washer is likely covered in these gross...

  6. Transition to Peds OR

    not2bblue replied to Toast&Butters's topic in Operating Room

    I work in a peds hospital, never in adults but our 2 hospitals are one huge building. The or rooms for kids are hot, no joke it is 80 degrees in there sometimes and never cooler than like 72. The...

  7. Precepting Experienced Nurse

    not2bblue replied to beachgirl17's topic in Operating Room

    She has 20 years of experience in various areas, but how much specifically in the OR? She may not have enough experience to really be ok in a fast pace setting, particularly if she said she has basic...

  8. New to OR -need advice -arrogant rude surgeon

    not2bblue replied to ORGeek's topic in Operating Room

    I got thrown out of a room (and have not been scheduled with the surgeon since) simply because he didn't want anyone in his room who is learning the OR. I know this is true, because he told me...

  9. struggling in orientation

    not2bblue replied to FutureResearchRN's topic in Operating Room

    9 months into the OR, just finished periop 101 and I still feel lost, confused, and some days I hate it. A few months ago I was so depressed it was starting to effect my health negatively. It gets...

  10. OR call schedule

    not2bblue replied to jenniecubbies808's topic in Operating Room

    I am really confused by what you are trying to explain. So, we have specialty call (even though we do everything but hearts) and we are required to take so many hours per monthly schedule. Usually, we...

  11. Nursing Diagnosis conflict help!

    not2bblue replied to Emantsch's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    also, just a little info: Many pain meds will treat a fever anyway, so you can treat both at once with one med. So, knowing that the med in your hand will treat both, which would be the bigger reason...

  12. Nursing Diagnosis conflict help!

    not2bblue replied to Emantsch's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I will just add that increased body temperature is an expected finding when the patient is in a lot of pain. Look up the correlation between pain and body temp because you need to know that...

  13. Money or future

    not2bblue posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I have a good job teaching vocational/practical nursing, but the future is in question. I teach at a proprietary school and many of them have been closing recently. Our student population has dropped...

  14. Why don't nurses help each other out.

    not2bblue replied to princessnurse_2be's topic in Nursing Career

    I think there is a difference between giving advice and helping someone in an online anonymous website. It is very nice of you to want to help others, that is why we are nurses- to help, but how do...

  15. Care plans

    not2bblue replied to Fly_Nurse's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Instead of saying WNL, describe the findings. You don't have to go overboard with a description of every freckle though. Just write a

  16. I NEED DIRECTION

    not2bblue replied to msfefe44's topic in General Nursing

    I'm confused too. You graduated in 2008 with nursing but you are trying to get into nursing in 2016? I don't think anyone here can give you the direction you are looking for because you need to decide...

  17. Calling in sick, boss harassing me.

    not2bblue replied to swweetipie's topic in General Nursing

    I am pretty sure that medical issues are protected even from employers. I would call HR and ask that a representative be present for this meeting because they are clearly not going to stop bothering...

  18. Is this legal?

    not2bblue replied to nursemeem624's topic in Private Duty

    First of all, I mean this in the nicest way, but you need to work on your writing. Documentation is a huge part of nursing and way you write needs to improve! :writing:You use some abbreviations that...

  19. Moving questions

    not2bblue replied to aerorunner80's topic in General Nursing

    I did a phone interview when I lived across country from the job. I think it is a waste of time and money to do it in person if you don't get the job. If you are moving there regardless of if you get...

  20. Any advice for someone interested in women's health

    not2bblue replied to passion4womenshealth's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Wow. You've done a lot. It may or may not give you any advantage when job searching. As a new grad, you have the same experience as those who have not done anything at all and that is what the nurse...

  21. Stagnant for three weeks!? (misc life advice)

    not2bblue replied to kmahnke93's topic in General Students

    I'm not really sure what to tell you here. In the future, I wouldn't quit a job until you have a start date for the next one. 3 weeks may be an underestimate, the state can take a long time to do...

  22. Tattoos in Nursing School

    not2bblue replied to BBboy's topic in General Students

    I have 7 tattoos, including a full back piece. It means a lot to me because my brother designed the whole thing and did the tattoo (which he does for a living) so I get it. But not one of my tattoos...

  23. Finding the right nursing program?

    not2bblue replied to tragan's topic in General Students

    Not every school has the same prereqs so check that first. Go to a state school. Do not do for profit if you can avoid it, at all costs. They cost double or triple and you get the same degree and earn...

  24. Follow up on a job application

    not2bblue replied to thomas76's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Did you actually apply or just send over a resume? It's possible that you were told they were forwarding it just to push you aside, because the director of nursing is the highest manager for nursing...

  25. Tough question to ask admins/recruiters?

    not2bblue replied to blackvans1234's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I asked how success is measured and how feedback is given. Got the job. Rephrase it a little so it doesn't sound so stilted. But I think it is important to know what to expect in terms of if you are...
