   You are correct...and I won't elaborate on your comment about the 'resident checking the reflexes'. I'd bet the reflexes were WNL (by the resident's assessment). Stick with your knowledge-you're probably gonna always win! I just had the same issue ...

2. OB "Freebies"

   DonnaH123 replied to malone2192's topic in Ob/Gyn

   We give the "freebie" advertising diaper bag and contents. We have bags from Enfamil, Similac, and Nestle (which is currently the contracted WIC choice). If the mom is not using WIC, we ask which brand they would like (whether they are breast or bott...

   Our management has asked the OB docs NOT to do circs at shift change. It interferes with report, causes OT, and is a huge safety risk. When a circ is done at shift change, the nurse who is doing the circ checks is also trying to start her shift, get...

7. Crib Cards & HIPPA - researching policies

   DonnaH123 posted a topic in HIPAA

   Hello, :typing I'm doing some information gathering to try to find out what the policies are in other facilities for writing names (LAST, baby's first, mother's first) on the crib card. Our policy (not written) was to put "Smith, Boy Sally" on the c...
