2. The Cervix hunt

   mee6 replied to Mary C's topic in Ob/Gyn

   First don't stress it takes a LOT of checks before one gets it and then sometimes it is still hard. Start "practicing" if able on an epiduralized multip. They are usally not thinned out as much (at first) as a primip in labor. When you find it you...

4. Women who don't know they're pregnant

   mee6 replied to StarNurse2006's topic in Ob/Gyn

9. Anyone here who went to L&D as a new grad?

   mee6 replied to twoangels's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Yep - right to L&D from nursing school. Hated everything else in school. Once in a while have a few regrets about not getting any MS experience with pg pts. with "other" medical issues, but overall no. Still loving L&D after 6 years!!
