1. Rooming in with baby-Question

   SuperMomBob replied to SuperMomBob's topic in General Students

   Oh yes. I do understand completely. My statement for the project is "In new mother's with uncomplicated births..." I kind of want to change the statement to promote hospitals getting Baby Friendly status. I still believe it is a mothers choice if she...

   SuperMomBob replied to SuperMomBob's topic in General Students

   Thank you again! I certainly think this data will help my case! I am hoping to work on L&D when I graduate. It is my life's dream! My local hospital is Baby Friendly. Our experience having my sons was awesome. I had a C-section after 48 hrs but h...

3. Rooming in with baby-Question

   SuperMomBob replied to SuperMomBob's topic in General Students

   Thanks! Those are some of the sources I was using to get my statement together. My instructor first said that "everyone knows it is superior so I suggest finding a different topic". I explained that surprisingly a lot of hospitals do not room in. He ...

   Hello everyone! I am working on a quality improvement project for school. I am having trouble finding information on the number of hospitals that actually have baby room in. I have found tons on Baby Friendly Hospitals, only 326 actually have the sta...

5. Advice wanted, as an older RN student, what thing should I NOT do?

   SuperMomBob replied to hamsterwheel's topic in LPN-RN

   Being an LPN in a bridge program, I have learned to keep quiet. My fellow classmates know, it eventually comes out. It is valuable in clinical, like I don't stress giving medications like some of the other students do. I have to bite my tongue with s...

9. To medicate or not to medicate

   SuperMomBob posted a topic in Medications

   So I generally work 3p-11p. I always scope out the PRN's to see if my patients like to take sleeping meds or anxiety before bed and always ask if they want them. I otherwise use my best judgement if I feel they need or don't need them. Basically I do...

    SuperMomBob replied to BSNbeauty's topic in General Nursing

    I have asked my patients before if they have "poopies"! Sometimes I really have to stop before I speak! Usually they just laugh and I explain I have a 3 yr old and a 10 month old.

14. Advice on transitioning to RN

    SuperMomBob replied to SuperMomBob's topic in LPN-RN

    No transition course. It is the same school I got my LPN so at least all their rules and system are not foreign. I will also have some familiar instructors and some of the same clinical sites. I guess my best options would be to read over my text boo...

15. Advice on transitioning to RN

    SuperMomBob replied to SuperMomBob's topic in LPN-RN

    I believe she was meaning for me to brush up on skills that I may not be using. During orientation she kept talking about how hard it was for LPN's to reset their thinking to that of an RN. I am starting with a group of students at the beginning of t...
