1. Anyone here work at a hospital that uses nitrous oxide in labor?

   Lovekaylanicole replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

   So we make the patient sign a consent that says if anyone is caught using or even touching the machine/mask they will be asked to leave the facility and the Nitrous will be removed from the room. We decided to take a no tolerance policy on it and we ...

2. SHHHHH, dont tell anyone I'm a RN

   Lovekaylanicole replied to Barbie8808's topic in Professionalism

   I worked as a CNA throughout nursing school and for a few months after graduating while I was job hunting. I was honest with my employer and she knew as soon as I found a job as an RN, I'd be out of there. But, it was never questioned whether or not ...

3. Enrolling in online RN to BSN after NCLEX: Should I work?

   Lovekaylanicole replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nurse Beth

   Working full time and doing your RN-BSN is manageable. I don't have kids but I worked full time (3 12's per week) and did the program full time. It was only 3 semesters. The biggest thing is to stay organized. Once I got all of my due dates for the s...

4. Should I become a CNM or Air Force CNM?

   Lovekaylanicole replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nurse Beth

   I'm in the same boat. I want to go back for my Masters and I have always wanted to be a CNM but now that I work in labor and delivery as an RN and see their lifestyle, I'm not sure. I've been tossing around a masters in management/leadership or educa...

6. CNAs give medications

   Lovekaylanicole replied to Beaue's topic in General Nursing

   I used to do this before I became an RN. I was a CNA at an Assisted Living and I took a few hour course to become a "med tech". I always made sure I covered myself because I felt unsafe doing it. I couldn't tell any of them what their medications wer...

   Lovekaylanicole replied to bluemoon28's topic in COVID

   I signed up for the hurricane team and we are reporting to work tomorrow at 0700 (even though I am nightshift). I was also at work for 3 days last year during Matthew. I will be there Sat-Tuesday and we get double pay. I am bringing my scrubs, PJs, l...

8. Enrolling in online RN to BSN after NCLEX: Should I work?

   Lovekaylanicole replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nurse Beth

   I enrolled in an online only RN-BSN program right after finishing school and I think it helped me get my job. A lot of hospitals are Magnet or going Magnet and want to know that you're going to go back for it. I worked full time and did the program i...

9. Anyone here work at a hospital that uses nitrous oxide in labor?

   Lovekaylanicole replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

   So, we are in the process of starting Nitrous at our hospital. From all of the research we have done, most hospitals have a consent form to sign and in that it says that if anyone other than the patient is caught using it, it will be taken away immed...
