   The cabinet is behind the desk in our nurses station. We have a bin for each of our two Novii monitors that has all of the parts in it. This is where we also keep our basket of essential oils. We have made it a habit to put it back pretty much as soo...

5. Good program for online Women's Health NP school??

   kejRN replied to hellonurses34's topic in NP Students

   One of the nurses I worked with on Labor and Delivery graduated from FNU last year. She did the midwifery program. She had good things to say about it. A nurse that I currently work with just got accepted last week to the WHNP program and she seems v...

   kejRN replied to hellonurses34's topic in NP Students

   Hey! I am in the same boat as you. I am looking at either FNP or WHNP. School is crazy expensive! I hear good things about FNU though.

   kejRN replied to XXXX5's topic in Ob/Gyn

   They are helpful...for the most part. We have a joke on our unit that Monica (the brand of device) can be a very fickle creature. When it works, it is amazing. I just used one the other night on a laboring natural patient and it was great. She was ab...

   kejRN replied to XXXX5's topic in Ob/Gyn

   We have 2 of them. When they are not in use, they are in a cabinet at the nurses station and the base is plugged in so that the battery is ready to go for the next patient. We have had them for a while and we have never had a lost pod...knock on wood...

    kejRN replied to TarheelGirlx3's topic in NP Students

    @sandchedrick, BSN...Totally off topic, but I was looking at different posts regarding FNU NP program and saw that you live in Hawaii. My mom is a nurse and my parents are looking at moving to Oahu. What do you think of the hospitals there?

12. PIV usage for lab draws - POLL

    kejRN replied to dvmcafee's topic in General Nursing

    I am an L&D nurse in Virginia. We do draw labs off of newly placed PIVs. We wait until the lab is at the bedside and then start the IV. They also do it that way in the ED, except they have their own "mini lab". I am not sure how the rest of the h...

13. Can you become an RN at age 19?

    kejRN replied to Drizzle203's topic in General Students

    I think it is kind of unheard of, but not impossible to achieve. I graduated with my ADN 3 months after I turned 20. I took most of my pre-reqs my senior year of high school. I turned 20 in February of '08 and graduated in May and started working at ...

14. Daily huddles

    kejRN replied to Jhalliburton90's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We do ours just before beginning the shift, before we get report. We discuss the basics of all the patients on the unit. We all like to somewhat be aware of issues of the patients on the unit. We also discuss any risk reports that were done on the pr...

    I work on a Labor and Delivery unit. We do urine drug screens on every patient that comes in, regardless of whether or not they have history. We used to only do a UDS if they have a previous drug history, no prenatal care, or we were suspicious. Thes...
