Yes lets stick together on this- I have known nurses with all levels of education and have found that all different levels of experience and common sense as well as intelligence exist within all ranks. Trust me, I know RNs with a Masters degree that...
I worked in long term care when I had my secnond and third. I was working as a Nurses Aide for child # 2, took leave 2 weeks prior, worked as Nurse for child # 3- I would have been at work the day I delivered except my dog was sick and the oldest h...
Such a sad situation, I hope you are able to get to the bottom of the when and how, and hope you are able to make decisions that your fmily can live with. As for the school thing, my 14 yr old announced at the dinner table TONITE that a couple w...
I agree that it is probably a management issue or could there be a staffing issue? We never have more than 4 couplets assigned to one nurse unless we are shorthanded. When this occurrs it is usually because the main unit is full and the PPs have been...

Helpful hints all! I follow the pts lead too, after all this is HER birth. I hate the Docs who insist on pushing when complete, never mind that mom is numb and cannot! I have them wait if they have an epidural until they feel they HAVE to push. Se...
Ok, thanks- that has been my experience, which is why I called anesthesia before I gave report that am. But all the Day nurses said -Oh it's because of her history- so I wasn't sure what to think!
Hey all- I am sort of new to L&D and i have a queation. The other night my pt was a pt who had late prenatal care and was + for opiates in her urine at her first visit in October. She comes in to deliver, of course in pain. I get a Stadol orde...
Oh yes, these pts ARE high risk and in my hospital would require continuous monitoring and if you are on mag you have a foley- NO brp! -contiuous monitoring with hourly or even more frequent bps,prn.-and hourly I & O etc..... As for Who watches ...
