  1. Is OB/GYN an eye opening for young MALE student?

    I have been an obstetrics nurse for MANY years, and have worked with a few gentlemen (and I say that because that is what they were) who were among the best OB nurses I have ever known. If you think about it, many of the patients have a male doctor....
  2. why?

    I have many years as an OB nurse, and have worked with many nurses. Granted, nearly all of them were female, but one of the best was a male--with a wife and three kids. I'd let him care for me or my loved ones any day! :loveya::yelclap:
  3. Unbelievable Family Members

    Oh yes, those wonderful family members. We often call them PIA! (translation, if needed --pain in the a**):chuckle
  4. Anterior lips and future deliveries

    A small comment on the incision and where it is. Remember--the incision that is important is that of the uterus. Some docs make a vertical skin incision, and a low cervial uterine incision (don't ask me why--I see no rhyme or reason) So, if y9ou se...
  5. Funny OB things people say

    As an OB nurse who is retired for MANY--TOO MANY years, thank you for all the laughs. I would like to add "upper dermal" to the list. I'm sure there are many others I could add, but my memory is not what it used to be. :chuckle:chuckle
  6. Stirrups?

    Good grief! I've been out of OB for about 8 years, and hadn't used stirrups for several years before that. I had worked in several different hospitals, and with "young" and "old" docs as well as midwives. I guess that we are just more modern aroun...
  7. What age do you plan to retire?

    :cry:I am quasi retired for 3 years, and take my word for it. It ain't what it's cracked up to be!!!!!!!:zzzzz:down::no::vlin::anbd::anbd::grn:----I can't find any more smilies that apply to my feelings about retirement!
  8. My boss is stealing narcotics......

    Has anyone contacted the federasl drug agents? I have been told that this is by federal law. If the management does not do this, you are obligated to do so, as you identified the missing drug. :innerconf
  9. Depression...

    I. too, have depression. I've probably been depressed since childhood. I had a dear NM who took me into her office and asked me to get help. She knew me well and realized that I was at the bottom of a big black abyss that was sucking me deeper. She...
  10. Possibly Abused Young Girl

    I would rather overreact a hundred times than not act and be wrong. You may have saved her from this, and at least someone cares about her. :redbeathe Doesn't sound like the "dad"does:(
  11. Bipolar nursing student

    I have a friend who is a family practice MD. She was dx as bipolar shortly after opening her practice. She has organized a support group in Denver that is very helpful. She also has a website that you might find useful -- beyondbipolar.com -- You ar...
  12. What kind of LTC resident will you be?

    Not only do I have "DNR" tattooed on my sternum, but I have "no IV'S" on my anticubitals, "no central lines" on my clavicals, "no tubes" on my belly, and "exit only" on my rectum! Otherwise, I will be the sweetest lady---till no one is looking!
  13. Diagnoses you never thought you'd see?

    Having worked labor and delivery for many years, I have seen many anomolies. We had a cyclops (single eye in forhead) and a mermaid (different hospitals!) Thank God we had so very many healthy kids.
  14. Nurses Wanted

    Then there is the other side. When you make a difference in someone's life. When you are the one that notices a change of condition. When a patient or family member thanks you for your help. When you are recognized in a store by a family member or...
