   SanDiegoCaliRN replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Klone, low risk women have babies who crump for no reason at all at or shortly after birth. Low risk women hemorrhage, have shoulder dystocias that DON'T resolve, no matter what maneuvers you perform and develop preeclampsia in a day when the day bef...

7. Can a woman refuse an emergency csection ?

   SanDiegoCaliRN replied to pixiestudent2's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I had a mentally retard patient once and her mother, who was her legal guardian and conservator, gave written permission on her behalf to perform a C/S. That baby had a lot of problems but it survived

8. Can a woman refuse an emergency csection ?

   SanDiegoCaliRN replied to pixiestudent2's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Not at my hospital and I don't think legally a C/S can be performed against a woman's will anywhere. Written consent is required to operate because until the baby is born, it doesn't have "rights." We had a North African woman refuse a C/S for recurr...

   SanDiegoCaliRN replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I am not afraid, I'm cautious. There's a difference. If I'd had my son at home as I had planned, he would have died without a doubt, and I had a picture-perfect pregnancy and labor with no risk factors. The delivery is where things got very scary, v...

12. Blame the nurse!

    SanDiegoCaliRN replied to Tina, RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We don't know the answer to any of those questions. But plain and simple, if the RN wasn't in the room, it's most likely primarily her fault. If she was, it may be no one's fault because emergency C/S's take priority over uncomplicated vag deliveries...

13. Blame the nurse!

    SanDiegoCaliRN replied to Tina, RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If you'll read the small follow-up at the bottom of the story, it says after release of the publication and a hospital review into the situation, the nurse is claiming she WAS in the room at the moment of delivery but the couple still disputes that. ...

14. Baby Friendly- getting a tad over the top

    SanDiegoCaliRN replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have to agree with whoever said this "Baby Friendly" initiative is going a bit too far. I love the push towards breastfeeding but ultimately feel it's a mother's choice and her choice should be supported. I also feel a newborn nursery should be ava...

15. Changing to a New Specialty

    SanDiegoCaliRN replied to xSoCaLRNx's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think you should go for it without hesitation. Don't let fear of failure or change hold you back. The only thing that will prevent you from realizing your dreams is fear. You've got experience as an RN. You can totally do this! Good luck...
