   sounds like the prof either didn't think through the senario or is testing you to see if you noticed what's wrong with it.

2. my birth plan - nurse friendly?

   nurse_maya28 replied to nurse_maya28's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Its actually not what its from - it's just not advisable for anyone with a history of GBS or similar conditions ( like MS) to have spinal narcotics. Mine actually came from the TDap vaccine after my daughter was born

4. Help with Maternity Case Study

   nurse_maya28 replied to 2bNurseCai's topic in Ob/Gyn

6. my birth plan - nurse friendly?

   nurse_maya28 replied to nurse_maya28's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I still fail to see how any of you think that after reading my birth plan that I am expecting the nurse to "talk me out of" an epidural???? please show me where I have stated that. I believe I have stated that my doula and husband would be talking m...

7. my birth plan - nurse friendly?

   nurse_maya28 replied to nurse_maya28's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Well, if I'm lucky enough to deliver at our rural remote hospital there will be at least 1 agency nurse if not more and at least 2 new nurses that don't know and understand my history and wishes. A birth plan is an easy way to communicate with them t...

8. New grad feeling left out

   nurse_maya28 replied to lovelylady3's topic in New Nurse

   Yes I'm sure it's very likely that everyone else was the problem at her job and that she was the perfect nurse and everyone else was jealous... yes I bet that's what happened. Just because I was more blunt here then everyone else, doesn't mean I don...

9. my birth plan - nurse friendly?

   nurse_maya28 replied to nurse_maya28's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Thank you so much. I guess I should have stated this earlier, but I thought it was understood - I am also an L&D nurse that will delivering in the department that I work in (god willing). I would never expect that a nurse should deny pain meds ...

    Did you even read it? I do have a doula hired and I stated that my husband and the doula will be talking me down if needed, but that i wished for the staff to be aware of my strong feelings. They have containers that I can use there. I know its th...

11. What can I expect in OB?

    nurse_maya28 replied to NiecyWhitRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    you could go on and get a midwife certification, but I would suggest at least 5 years in L&D first. NRP certification, ACLS certification and lactation certifications are all helpful. Also doula courses are invaluble and I would recommend for e...

    nurse_maya28 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think I have have done an ok job of doing a birth plan for a birth I am rather anxious about, but wanted to be sure it was nurse/ doctor friendly. These are my co-workers, so many know my history and concerns. I want to just let a neutral groupp ...

13. New grad feeling left out

    nurse_maya28 replied to lovelylady3's topic in New Nurse

    hmmm you seem very defensive and you seem to have a very entitled attitude for a rather new nurse. As others have said you need to take a good long look at yourself first, because if you think that everyone else is the problem and you are the poor v...

14. The most ridiculous birth plans you've had the pleasure of reading

    nurse_maya28 replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My personal favorites are the ones that come in with detailed birth plans that they haven't even shown to the provider, let alone discussed any of their desires. The plop this novel down in front of me because "my doctor will do what I want, but I k...

15. Does god make mistakes?

    nurse_maya28 replied to Julie Reyes's topic in Pediatric

    I don't think god makes mistakes, but i do think humans do, they may mean well, but a mistake is still a mistake. In this case i think the humans involved messed with god's plan by intervening so much, but of course once that slippery slope is begun...
