  1. Vaccines

    OBwonKnewbie replied to OBwonKnewbie's topic in Ob/Gyn

    So you guys are seeing most of your mom's already vaccinated in the third trimester? We see only a small percentage who get vaccinated in the third trimester. Most nurses wait to give the vaccines...

  2. Vaccines

    OBwonKnewbie replied to OBwonKnewbie's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Very good

  3. Vaccines

    OBwonKnewbie replied to OBwonKnewbie's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am pretty sure we have the polysaccharide, so I think the PPSV23. I did read the pdfs on the CDC site and it said that if one has never received the pneumonia vaccine before that they should get the...

  4. Vaccines

    OBwonKnewbie replied to OBwonKnewbie's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Really? We don't give it often, but our screening tool has them receive it if they have a chronic resp. condition (like asthma) or they are a

  5. Vaccines

    OBwonKnewbie replied to OBwonKnewbie's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thank you so much! That is very helpful. Our patients have been getting a little better about getting their vaccines in the third trimester but the doctors offices don't seen to stress it too

  6. Late admissions/close to shift change

    OBwonKnewbie replied to Enmc412's topic in Critical Care

    Same. When I am admitting a new patient (in L & D) I get them on the efm monitor and then initial vitals. I start asking admission questions while I start their IV (I practically have the...

  7. LPNs leaving me out in clinical

    OBwonKnewbie replied to Jo0232's topic in General Students

    That's just rude and childish. Don't be too upset they sound like horrible

  8. Feeling guilty about calling in sick.

    OBwonKnewbie replied to Becca, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Amen, couldn't have said it

  9. Failing nclex 6 times

    OBwonKnewbie replied to F8112014's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    In my state every application to take NCLEX submitted to the board is public knowledge. If a license is not issued, it says "closed" and they do not go away. So an employer could potentially see how...

  10. Failing nclex 6 times

    OBwonKnewbie replied to F8112014's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I do not want a nurse who couldn't pass nclex until their 15th attempt taking care of me or anyone I care about ......let's not forget it's a minimum competency exam, and just because you pass school...

  11. Feeling guilty about calling in sick.

    OBwonKnewbie replied to Becca, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I hope you did not get a no call no show, OP. That would suck. Regardless of what the call off policy is, you were obviously sick enough that you were willing to accept the consequences of calling...

  12. Are too many certifications a bad thing?

    OBwonKnewbie replied to Ruger8mm's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Thank goodness you were there to advise that dumb ICU nurse and that dumb doctor... ...I just don't know how either ever did their jobs without you

  13. The sloppy image of nurses today

    OBwonKnewbie replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Learn something new

  14. Feeling guilty about calling in sick.

    OBwonKnewbie replied to Becca, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting. I'm learning from these threads that I must work for a pretty good place. We are required to give 3 hours notice before our shift to get a single point for a call off, if we call off...

  15. Feeling guilty about calling in sick.

    OBwonKnewbie replied to Becca, RN's topic in General Nursing

    She was feeling ok until she was in the car driving to work, that's when the bad GI stuff happened. I don't call off work for heartburn or for one episode of diarrhea in which I feel better after, do...

  16. Are too many certifications a bad thing?

    OBwonKnewbie replied to Ruger8mm's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I don't think it's bad per se, but just remember that you are responsible for the knowledge you are certified for. That's an awful lot of certs and knowledge to keep up with. For instance, you will...

  17. Disciplining employee in front of other employees?!

    OBwonKnewbie replied to Seas's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that it was inappropriate for her to talk to you about the issue in front of everyone

  18. The sloppy image of nurses today

    OBwonKnewbie replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Why couldn't they use a beauty

  19. The effects of not reporting harassment

    OBwonKnewbie replied to Funkymiss187's topic in General Nursing

    You have to put all that info into the pyxis!? That's crazy.

  20. The effects of not reporting harassment

    OBwonKnewbie replied to Funkymiss187's topic in General Nursing

    This. Setting everything else aside, I absolutely agree that more doctors need to look information up themselves. Unless I'm currently on the computer charting or am doing nothing (ha, ya right) then...

  21. Is my choice of where to volunteer a big deal?

    OBwonKnewbie replied to ps3114's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you would be better off trying to work in a hospital as an aide, if you

  22. Administering Tylenol to a friend

    OBwonKnewbie replied to Em31200's topic in General Nursing

    HAHAHA! RNdynamic, That is certainly traumatic for you. How dare that guy be sick and need suctioning. I bet you told him to knock it off too, and he simply didn't listen. How dare he think you had...

  23. Administering Tylenol to a friend

    OBwonKnewbie replied to Em31200's topic in General Nursing

    BWAHAHAHA!!!

  24. WHAT TO DO...Nurse is refusing to give PRN medication

    OBwonKnewbie replied to purplenurse1's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Does the zofran actually seem to work for his nausea? Does he eat his meals? Does he actually

  25. WHAT TO DO...Nurse is refusing to give PRN medication

    OBwonKnewbie replied to purplenurse1's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Why is he so nauseated? Vertigo? Chemo? What is the actual cause... If he is requiring a prn that much maybe it should be scheduled or he should be on something else to deal with the cause of his...
