1. Recommended Preparation for Midwifery School

   L&D4Lyfe posted a topic in CNM

   Hi Everyone! I'm an L&D Nurse pursuing nurse-midwifery as my end-goal degree. I've been on the path of wanting to be a midwife since 8th grade and I'm honing in on starting the next phase of my education: CNM school! My main question for those ...

2. L&D Orientation

   L&D4Lyfe replied to LawyerRN2b's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Don't go somewhere else and don't freak out! Oh my goodness you sound so much like I did as an orient and on my bad days, sometimes how I sound now! A few things that may or may not be helpful: (but let the record show I'm trying to be helpful) 1--...

3. New Grads path to L&D

   L&D4Lyfe replied to Ella2598's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I would absolutely fight to get an L&D job right out of school, but big piece of advice: Not everywhere that decides to give you a shot is actually capable of giving you a real shot. When you go into your interviews find out more about the hospi...

4. Staffing postpartum mag

   L&D4Lyfe replied to Djknurse's topic in Ob/Gyn

   That was how it was at the hospital I worked in as a postpartum RN. Either a mag pt. and a m/b couplet, a mag pt. and two NICU moms (aka babies in NICU), or two mag pt.'s.

5. Breech protocol

   L&D4Lyfe replied to XXXX5's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I know we will often deliver a breech twin B as long as the baby A is vertex... that's the only kind of sort of policy I can think of when it comes to vaginal breech.

6. Getting over a bad outcome

   L&D4Lyfe posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

   I'm a newer L&D nurse just about to hit my 1-year anniversary. I had my first birth with a bad outcome recently. When I say bad outcome I mean a birth where baby was born severely compromised, requiring resuscitation and transport to a facility ...

7. LDRP Hospitals

   L&D4Lyfe posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

   Hello! I'm a new nurse with almost a year under my belt. Long story short here's where I'm at: I got my dream job in L&D at a large hospital (6-700 births/month) and WAS NOT READY FOR IT. Moved for the job, knew no one, had bad training experie...

8. Did I do the PVT right?

   L&D4Lyfe replied to L&D4Lyfe's topic in NCLEX

   Anyone? I'd love an answer. What I think is that I went through step 1, and 2 but not step 3. That it's when you're pressing submit to get you to that third step of finalizing your payment, you get to see if the trick is there or not. I would love so...

   I got my ticket a few days after that last post! I gave my community college transcripts to them and the next day got my ticket.

10. Did I do the PVT right?

    L&D4Lyfe posted a topic in NCLEX

    Ok guys... freaking out. I took the test yesterday at 2pm. I finished at 7:30pm with 127 questions. I was so tired by the time I got home at 11pm (I took the test a ways away because it was the earliest test date I could get) and was just dying to ...

11. Still waiting on ATT-- California

    L&D4Lyfe replied to L&D4Lyfe's topic in NCLEX

    Thank you everyone for the helpful comments. I have seen that my check went through, so the application arrived with them. However, it says it was cashed Jan. 22nd which makes me concerned they won't process the paperwork until that time. Also, I wa...

12. Still waiting on ATT-- California

    L&D4Lyfe replied to L&D4Lyfe's topic in NCLEX

    Thank you so much for the response and being willing to help me see what the ATT looks like! I have registered with Pearson Vue and paid the $200, did so about 2 months before I applied for the NCLEX. I chatted with them today and they told me I shou...

13. Still waiting on ATT-- California

    L&D4Lyfe posted a topic in NCLEX

    Hi! I graduated on December 18th from Nursing at a school in Virginia. I was unable to use the online NCLEX application using the BreEZe system because they had the wrong ID code for my school listed and there was no way to correct it. I contacted ...

14. School ID # for NCLEX

    L&D4Lyfe posted a topic in NCLEX

    Hello! I'm trying to submit my application for NCLEX to California's BRN and am all set except for one thing. There is a section on BreEZe where they ask you to put in information about your Nursing School. Within that there is a drop-down bar that a...
