  1. Evidence Based Practice

    Gwenith, Thanks for the referral! I checked out the site, doesn't have anything on what we are currently working on but the models are a good reference. I went to a conference last week, and it has shown that Euro/Australian medicine is WAY ahead ...
  2. Evidence Based Practice

    Ok, so I have been away from the forums, for quite along time, but I need some input. I am part of the hospital's EBP program and we are starting one for labor and delivery, my specialty. Now up till now, there is very little EBP used in L&D uni...
  3. Toradol for PTL?

    very interesting use of Torodol. I would be interested to know which conference you went to and their references.
  4. new med order

    I work at an institution where this is a standard option for 2nd trimester IUFD inductions. It works very well as another poster mentioned above, the POC and placenta were delivered sometime during the second bag. This is a viable option for those w/...
  5. Rush University Medical Center

    I think that I saw the same rates and that was for a resourse program if I am not mistaken. Good luck w/ all of that I worked in Rush's perinatal system for over a year now and wouldn't mind working at Rush, I like the intensity but perfer not to be ...
  6. What's your craziest delivery story?

    Another one comes to mind as for babies just flying on out. Had another multip, was 7cm, wanted to go on her side, BOW intact/bulging, so ok no prob, doc was in the lounge. About 2 min later she says she feels pressure so I go to check her, she isn...
  7. What's your craziest delivery story?

    Well, I have had more than my share of crazy deliveries. The inner city hospital where I work had several OBs that were pretty laid back about rushing in to deliver. So nurse deliveries were not that uncommon. Coupled w/ the fact that some of the ...
  8. Anyone fax report?

    I think I know someone who works at your sister hospital on the floor and hates it. Main gripe is the fact that sometimes by the time that she actually gets to the fax the patient is already in their bed ready to be assessed. It has caused alot of ...
  9. new nurse vent

    Sorry about your bad day, stick in there, organization and time management come from experience. Days like this are ones that will make you a stronger nurse if you don't let it overwhelm you. Did you care for your patients as best you can? If so t...
  10. SHAVING & WAXING

    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: Trusn: You just saved me from the same nightmare!!!! :imbar Thanks for the good laugh!!!
  11. I Hate Pp!

    I'm with you. I too can't stand working postpartum. I like the teaching aspect and all, but would never want to do it even on a semi-consistant basis. I work nights and find it very boaring, to slow paced. I even get board w/ antepartum patients....
  12. Choosing a specialty - website

    Interesting test. I work OB currently and that ranked #26 for me. Liked my Emergency med rotation and that ranked near last. My number one was Nuerosurgery followed by plastics. I always thought of myself as more of a truama/cardiothorasic type i...
  13. Tension in the workplace

    Thanks for the good ideas, I will start by speaking to the HR director when he comes back from vaction (every body seems to be on vacation except me;) ) You did hit that nail right on the head Kids-r-us, that is exactly what is going on from my per...
  14. Tension in the workplace

    Hey, Sorry never did thank those that replied, so thank you! A month has gone by and not much has changed. I myself am frustrated. So are others. Our manager is back and fully aware of the situation, yet nothing has been done to my knowledge. So ...
  15. Tension in the workplace

    Hey all, again asking for advice, but this time not for something that is specifically my prob. I have been working in a community hospital L/D for about 8 months now, love the job, and the co-workers are culturally diverse. Now one culture does o...
