2. FHR tachycardia dilemna-sorry if its long but i need advice!

   ADreamersWife replied to michstamps's topic in Ob/Gyn

   It sounds like an SVT. I've seen it twice in utero, and both behaved as you described. One pt was pre-term and we did cardiovert with drugs for the mother. Extremely interesting and a very good learning experience. We kept her in our high-risk unit...

3. CNAs in L&D

   ADreamersWife replied to prisicruz's topic in Ob/Gyn

   The L&D unit that I work for now, utilizes CNA's, LPN's and RN's. However, when I was in nursing school, the local hospital did not use CNA's in their L&D. So, I wrote an e-mail to the nurse manager of the L&D unit explaining how much I...

4. Military Wives in Nursing

   ADreamersWife replied to mypixiedust's topic in General Nursing

   I work in a military hospital. I would really recommend getting into the GS system if you can. It might take a while, but once you are in-you are in, and as a spouse, you have preference. You can transfer to the next post when you PCS, and you do ...

5. HOTEL OR HOSPITAL?????

   ADreamersWife replied to rn4babies63's topic in General Nursing

   I'm a L&D/PP nurse as well. As long as it isn't interfering with the mom's rest, I have no problem with it at all. It becomes a problem to me, when like you said, Dad is in the bed, and Mom is in a chair, or on the couch. I try to see what the dy...

   ADreamersWife posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

   My hospital has decided to have a core group of R.N.s that can scrub and I have excitedly volunteered. Does anyone know of any good websites that would have pictures and names of the instruments? Also, any helpful hints on scrubbing would be greatly...

7. what meds should I NOT be around while pregnant?!?!

   ADreamersWife replied to momnurse84's topic in General Nursing

   If you have any HIV patients, do not handle AZT during your first trimester. Also misoprostol (Cytotec), you need to handle with gloves on. It is used "off label" to induce labor and abortions. Personally, when I was pregnant, I would get someone ...

8. Move from small hospital to large hospital

   ADreamersWife replied to ADreamersWife's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Thanks for the replys. Makes me feel a little better about making the transition. I figure, if I don't do it now, I won't, and I know the experience would be great.

9. Move from small hospital to large hospital

   ADreamersWife posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

   I have been a labor nurse since 2005, and have worked in two hospitals that both averaged between 150-180 deliveries per month with level II NICUs. My husband and I are relocating to the Tampa Bay area, which has several large hospitals.(6000-7000/y...

10. Gateway in Clarksville

    ADreamersWife replied to momofdandm's topic in Tennessee

    I worked there for two years in the L&D unit. If I remember correctly, I think that night diff was two dollars, and weekend like 1.50. That might not be exactly correct, but it is in the ballfield. I don't know much about the work environment ...
