   ShannonB25 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

   your unit does this??? I'm wondering because the last hospital I worked for routinely gave abx at the 12 hr mark if a patient was ruptured, but the unit I work for now doesn't give anything UNTIL Mom is showing signs of infection (febrile, etc)... Th...

   I Love this thread...of course, I am also sitting here with my cheeks that are wet with tears, but I adore these stories, nonetheless. So..for mine. One of the first times I *knew* I'd made a difference to a patient was during nursing school. I was...

   ShannonB25 replied to Sparklecat's topic in General Nursing

   Well, I went back to work after an over 2 year hiatus. It can be done- lol. I returned to Labor and Delivery, as that's all I've ever worked. While it's challenging as well, there's not another place I'd rather work. I highly recommend the area. ...
