1. Bedside report in labor and delivery

   Mesmerize replied to massbaby's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I LOVE bedside reporting!! The patient feels involved, it promotes bonding, the pt can clarify any information. I want to see my pt as I am getting report, when you are in the room you're more likely to give better report bc you have reminders! I wan...

2. Up the Pit or stop it?

   Mesmerize replied to APL&D's topic in Ob/Gyn

   We have a pit protocol, there is a checklist we have to follow. If it doesn't meet the checklist we turn it off, and reassess! Doctors have to follow the protocol as well! Makes it so much easier! We used to have problems before, the nurses would see...

   Mesmerize replied to MplsMurse's topic in General Students

   As a new grad, I would not limit my options! still apply at the units that interest you, but at the end you should take any job offer! It's hard enough to find a job as a new grad, it's even harder to get into specialty areas! At this point I would ...

   Mesmerize replied to kitkats4breakfs's topic in Male Students

   Wow at #2 question!!! 🙈I can't believe you're even thinking that! Lying is a BIG deal, especially in the field of nursing! I don't know where you live, but every job that requires a title/degree in order to work at their facility , will require pr...

5. What is it with nurses showing up late!

   Mesmerize replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

   IMO Showing up frequently late for work is unprofessional! It is not fair for previous nurses to wait after long exhausting hours to give report to the oncoming nurse! I can understand if a nurse is late because of bad weather conditions. Even then,...

6. Stay in MICU or move to L&D?

   Mesmerize replied to girliegirlieRN's topic in General Nursing

   Staying for 3 years in ICU will not make you a better L&D nurse! Working on L&D makes you a good L&D nurse! Your ICU experience will not go to waste, it can be very helpful! Especially when it comes to time management, prioritizing , and ...

10. Is Nursing the hardest job out there?

    Mesmerize replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    Personally I don't think nursing is the hardest job out there ! However, getting your masters as a nurse is a must! Why you ask?! Because if you work in a fast paced unit, that requires physical force; or to act fast; adjust to daily policy changes, ...

13. Bedside Report

    Mesmerize replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    I absolutely love bedside reporting! The patient is involved, important information is less likely to be missed, pt can clarify information if it was miscommunicated. Both nurses are looking at the computer orders, meds, I&Os , and make sure ever...
