1. Ever had an MD document things to make you look bad?

   HR_LPN replied to ruralnurs's topic in Ob/Gyn

   My comment is alittle off the main subject here, but why is there only one nurse at delivery? That would scare the pants off me! What if mom AND baby went to heck in a handbasket?

2. fundal checks

   HR_LPN replied to short1978's topic in Ob/Gyn

   You should always check your hospital's policy book for their policy for fundal checks. In our hospital we check q 15 min for 2 hours then q 4 for 24 hours then q 8 until discharge. Now this is for "run of the mill" deliveries. If there is any in...

   I have had no experience with Subutex, but we have had some Methadone withdrawals. We give Morphine or Phenobarb.

5. The skinny on working nights

   HR_LPN replied to UNC_nurseL&D's topic in Ob/Gyn

   For me, you'd have to pay me shift diff to work days! Hate days, love nights!

6. quick question....

   HR_LPN replied to jenpan's topic in General Nursing

   I am unsure about TOD for TN; but I call TOB in EVERY delivery I'm in. The doctors are usually too busy clamping the cord or something like that to pay much attention to the clock. Hope this helps!

7. Patients who stick around after discharge/legal risks

   HR_LPN replied to JKL33's topic in Emergency

   I work in an OB dept in a community hospital. Occasionally we get pts that come in from EMS that have no way home once ready for d/c; and they are usually a little loopy after their Nubain/Phenergan cocktail. We usually call the Police dept and t...

8. LPN's in OB

   HR_LPN replied to obnurse13's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I work mostly PP and some Nsy. I am currently learning some about L&D. I work in a small community hospital. On one shift, you have 1 ob nurse, 1 nsy nurse, and 1 pp nurse. I can do some L&D, but I cannot work independently. The other 2 ...

9. Time Management

   HR_LPN replied to luv2shopp85's topic in General Nursing

   Our hospital has Glucometers where you scan the barcode off the pt's "sticker" and then proceed to check their sugar. Well, when I work the floor (I'm in OB so not to many BS for us.), I take all the pt's stickers who have BS for the night and put th...

12. What are the positions in the delivery room?

    HR_LPN replied to mgalloLPN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm an LPN who works Postpartum in a rural hospital. I'm currently taking classes to train in nursery. I'm a fresh graduate and was very lucky to get my job. Most "rural" hospitals will hire LPN's to do PP and Nsy IF they cannot find a RN who is w...
