  1. Rh + and - and Coombs and blood types

    Postpartum RN posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am new to postpartum, and am having some trouble understanding how all this works. The blood type, rh positive or negative, Coombs. Does anyone have a simple or clear way of explaining this or...

  2. Getting into Postpartum/couplet care

    Postpartum RN replied to PurpleIvy2's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You can definitely email or stop by and speak with the manager and let them know your interest. Ask if you can float there as a break nurse, that way you get your foot in a little and get to know the...

  3. How much do you pay monthly for Health insurance?

    Postpartum RN replied to LDAthleteNurse's topic in General Students

    About $22 every 2 weeks, (per paycheck). This includes medical and dental for myself, 2 kids and a husband, vision for myself, and life insurance for all 4 of us with different amounts. No deductible....

  4. Failing nclex 6 times

    Postpartum RN replied to F8112014's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    In my opinion the problem could be that English is her second language. It is obvious from her/his posts that grammar and semantics are a struggle. I have worked with foreign educated RNs who are very...

  5. foot check on diabetic at dialysis clinic

    Postpartum RN replied to Healerforlife's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't threaten with a lawyer as was suggested earlier. I don't believe that is appropriate for you as an RN. I would do what the previous poster said though, document and fax it to the nursing...

  6. Community vs psych nursing before LD

    Postpartum RN replied to Hcoutinhojay's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I would take the hospital job. For this reason, you will already be in the system and it will be easier to transfer as an internal employee to labor and delivery. You will be able to meet more people...

  9. Going into the ICU as new grad

    Postpartum RN replied to NURSEJSS's topic in Nursing Career

    Take the icu job. It is obviously where your heart is. You will be unhappy with the other job since you are having doubts right now! In my experience, signing a 3 year contract is not a great sign....

  10. Night Nursing: Precepting & Perception

    Postpartum RN replied to Larry2016's topic in General Students

    I think you should stop worrying about how you won't learn anything on night shift (you will). Just wait until you start, then come back and update us. Night shift does all the same things that day...

  11. The Bad Day Thread

    Postpartum RN replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    I'm so sorry Farawyn.

  12. Please help :(

    Postpartum RN replied to %D#2's topic in General Nursing

    I am so sorry for your loss. (((Hugs))) How cruel and mean of this person to do this to you. I would never cover another shift for her again if she did that to me. She had the balls to ask you to work...

  13. Best MD note

    Postpartum RN replied to beckster_01's topic in Nursing Humor

    Although I love these and they make me laugh, I do wonder how do these doctors get away with this kind of charting? Does it fly? Or does someone audit them and they get Into

  14. minor complaints

    Postpartum RN replied to Flare's topic in School

    I really like reading your posts, all you school nurses. I am often shocked by the reasons students come to see you guys...even getting pads/tampons? Hmm...free right? It's just all so...I guess...

  17. People who don't look before flushing (#2)

    Postpartum RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Lol I always give my husband a hard time for not looking. Sometimes when he's I'll or his stomach hurts I ask him about his stool and he says "huh?? I don't look I don't know!" And then I tell him to...

    Oh my gosh this breaks my heart! That poor child bullying is such a huge issue these days. That's very kind of you to send him something. God bless you for doing

  19. Hey nurses!!! WE ARE PEOPLE TOO!

    Postpartum RN replied to AspiringNurse23's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Farawyn gave you absolutely no attitude, she politely informed you that there is a quote feature and to "please" use it. Frankly your response to her simple statement is dripping with attitude. If...

  20. to intervene or not to intervene

    Postpartum RN replied to nursephillyphil's topic in General Nursing

    Nope, not substandard. The word that came to mind for me was actually selfish. How selfish of her/him to not take 10-15 minutes out of their day to render help to someone laying on the ground...

  21. to intervene or not to intervene

    Postpartum RN replied to nursephillyphil's topic in General Nursing

    I never said I didn't want him/her to be my nurse. So I don't know who you are quoting. I said I hope elkpark never finds me unresponsive anywhere, as he/she made it very clear that he/she WOULD NOT...

  24. Med surg vs LTC

    Postpartum RN replied to jojo489's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I worked in A SNF for 2.5 yrs as RN. I will say it is brutal. I now work in med surg/telemetry. Both places are very very busy, but it is a different kind of busy. I did have a big learning curve when...
