   Sorry for the end of my post last night, I was responding from my blackberry and thought I'd lost the post altogether! The gest of what I was getting at is that on our floor, it's too difficult to assign couplets and make it work in our situation.

5. Horrible experience...

   OBRN1994 replied to sarabear's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Since when do you need "stitches" to have dermaplast ordered? Many deliveries can result in "skid marks" that can be as uncomfortable as stitches! You blew those little guys out because you were at the very least PIH. I've never had a Doctor or Mi...

10. L&D traveller panic-stricken about the economy

    OBRN1994 replied to IndigoCarmine's topic in Travel

    A lot of agencies have "non-compete" clauses in their contracts, meaning...if you "test drive" the hospital & locale and really decide that you want to stay, you will not be able to take a full time job there for 6 months (at least I think that's...
