2. Evidence-Based practice re: Pitocin Inductions

   finallyRN replied to HazeKomp's topic in Ob/Gyn

   This was actually part of our Pitocin protocol at the last hospital that I worked with but no one ever did it. I wonder if it actually works.

3. Rady's Children's Hospital San Diego orientation... INFO please?!?

   finallyRN replied to lolale's topic in California

   I have worked there for a little while. I did not start there as a new grad but have heard good things about the program. One of the biggest problems is that they make you rotate for at least a year. It is like 6 weeks days 6 weeks nights. The pa...

6. Do you get a lot of false alarms coming in?

   finallyRN replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I delivered my son in the L/D unit that I worked in. I had been having BH contractions for a few nights previously but the night I went into labor they got strong really quick. I think I had about 4 really hard contractions about 6-10 min apart bef...

   finallyRN replied to bjssk's topic in California

   I graduated from there in 1999. I feel it was a great school. I know that we only lost 5 students in the 3 years to failing classes and I believe that only 8 people did not pass the NCLEX on the first try. We had about 90 in our class. It is a ver...

10. 20 week twins PTL

    finallyRN replied to crissrn27's topic in Ob/Gyn

    At the hospital I use to work L&D at we would probably tried to stip the PTL and give steriods. Unless there were other issues there should be no reason not to at least try to stop the labor.

12. "upping the pit" with regular ctx's

    finallyRN replied to emilyriv34rn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We have low dose and high dose pit inductions. With the low dose we up 1 every 15 mins. With the high dose we up 4-6 every 30 minutes. I find that the low dose actually works better than the high dose.

13. How many 37, 38-weekers wind up in NICU?

    finallyRN replied to mermom's topic in NICU

    Our hospital does not allow for inductions before 38.5 weeks for this very reason. We had one doctor in particular who would induce 37 weekers and they usually were earlier than that.

14. "upping the pit" with regular ctx's

    finallyRN replied to emilyriv34rn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    like the other posters said Ultimatley if you don't feel comfortable don't do it. If the doc continues to pressure you go to your charge nurse or manager, if they don't support you, find another job!

15. How do you get/give report?

    finallyRN replied to breastfeedingRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We had voice care but just recently got rid of it. It didn't work in our unit. I think we just had too many people with negative attitudes who didn't want it to work. I thought that is was fine but I do prefer face to face report because that wa...
