    SheaOBRN posted a topic in Travel

    Anyone have any opinions about Carle Foundation Hospital in Champaign Urbana, Illinois? Labor and Delivery Unit...I live close to this location and am trying to get a contract so I can be near my...

  2. Question for all of you travel nurses

    SheaOBRN replied to NICURNMB's topic in Travel

    I wouldn't make this jump right now.....the economy is crap and contracts are few and far between. My experience traveling-the insurance was minimal. I ended up paying over $4,000 for an emergency...

  3. Need advice on Travel Nurse Solutions

    SheaOBRN replied to zyna15's topic in Travel

    SheaOBRN replied to elizabells's topic in Ob/Gyn

  5. Do birth plans grate on your nerves?

    SheaOBRN replied to cradlecrewer's topic in Ob/Gyn

    L & D'er here.......no, none of our interventions are helping bring about better outcomes, absolutely they lead to more c-sections....but what are we to do????? Are you telling me that when this...

  6. Going to OB right after nursing school?

    SheaOBRN replied to PinkNBlue's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I went to Labor and Delivery right out of school.....I loved it and still do! I had no desire to do anything else, but I did do an externship for school on med surg. I tought I would hate it and it...

  7. Doula Etiquette

    SheaOBRN replied to suewolfie08's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Speaking for myself only....I am perfectly aware of the role of the doula in the birthing experience. I think it needs to be said to make sure that the doula knows her role in the experience as well...

  8. Doula Etiquette

    SheaOBRN replied to suewolfie08's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am all for doulas helping our moms....I feel that most of the time, I am not able to be there and support our moms due to patient loads and ridiculous amounts of charting. I do however feel a small...

    SheaOBRN replied to Anagray's topic in Emergency

  11. I need opinions!

    SheaOBRN posted a topic in Travel

    I need help guys! I am just a few shifts away from being done with a contract I have been really unhappy with. We have had some really bad outcomes there and have had several issues occur that I have...

  12. I need opinions!

    SheaOBRN replied to SheaOBRN's topic in Travel

    I CARE because what is occurring is not in the best interest of the patient on a regular basis (thats why I became a nurse-to help people get the best care and results!) and because I have bonded with...

  13. Nursing school vs. CRNA

    SheaOBRN replied to ExCorporateRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You have to go to nursing school first to become the RN in CRNA....usually at least a year experience in ICU as a RN before you can apply to CRNA

  14. I LOVE it. I LOVE LOVE it.

    SheaOBRN replied to NewStudentGirly's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    interesting....where is this? I wish you all the luck in the world, nursing school is tough. It sounds like it would work if you are especially motivated! I just hope you are not shorting yourself in...

  15. I LOVE it. I LOVE LOVE it.

    SheaOBRN replied to NewStudentGirly's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    What the H--- is discovery learning? I am curious, never heard of it. I am also curious to know how you learn nursing as a profession and career with no instructors....I can't get half the students to...

  16. American Mobile

    SheaOBRN replied to nbrody's topic in Travel

    I work for Medical Express-a sub group of American Mobile. You will see a lot of negative comments about the company, but I have had no problems with them. My paycheck has always been correct and on...

  17. Travel nursing

    SheaOBRN replied to jmeng's topic in Travel

    This came across my mind today when I was speaking with my rcruiter for Medical Express (AMN). She suggested me calling the nurse manager of the hospital I am trying to get a contract at, and I did...

  18. Would this work??

    SheaOBRN replied to MK6babies's topic in General Nursing

    This is a great plan, we need you! However, be diligent in what nursing school you want to attend. Many schools have waiting lists that can offset your plans for a year or more sometimes, so apply as...

  19. termination and pto benefits

    SheaOBRN replied to litbitblack's topic in General Nursing

    In my opinion, regardless of termination or resigning, you should get your PTO.....YOU EARNED IT! It is considered part of your benefits. Maybe there is something to be said that you had so much saved...

  20. best and most useful nursing certifications?

    SheaOBRN replied to amy0123's topic in General Nursing

    I would have to say that it depends on your specialty....each area has its own certifications that are necessary or helpful. I am a labor nurse, and I have ACLS, BLS, NRP, and LNC....I could also get...

    SheaOBRN posted a topic in Legal

  22. consulting while traveling

    SheaOBRN replied to SheaOBRN's topic in Legal

  23. Birth in the Media

    SheaOBRN replied to Nefertari1279's topic in Ob/Gyn

  24. Wedged baby during C/S

    SheaOBRN replied to lapink55's topic in Ob/Gyn

  25. What can I do as an RN?

    SheaOBRN replied to foxc1121's topic in General Nursing

    I think that you would be more hands on in the ER or Labor and Delivery....it depends on the hospital and staffing situation. If you have residents and MA's and CNA's then some of the hands on, task...
