Should a C Section baby have the eye Rx? Should an NSVD baby whose mom is free of infection have it? What did we do before Vit K? I've never worked OB but I think there's a little too much "medicine" involved - when the L&D is healthy and uneven...
I'm not sure you should put such specific information on here. But it sounds like the shot was ok. Next time, you have to aspirate. On IM's, you have to make sure you're not in a blood vessel. Your teacher is wrong. Just do it, don't say anything...

If the parole is still pending, please attend it. And take the prosecutor with you. The sister of Sharon Tate has managed to help keep the Manson clan locked up all these many years and I think it's due, at least in part, to her always going to the...
What freaked me out was when doctor was asked to give some cough med to a patient who was coughing his brains out all night and no one had bothered to get him an order. Doctor's reply was "He's a whiner. Let him cough." I thought Huh? You don't ...
