   ERNURSE4MS replied to AussieJack's topic in Emergency

   don't get me wrong, i love er, but not one episode goes by without me shouting at the screen. and the docs doing nursing stuff. that has me rolling on the floor. i have never seen a doc give an injection of anything more that local anesthetic, and ch...

2. Longest "Visit" in ER b/4 admitted to your floor

   ERNURSE4MS replied to Town & Country's topic in General Nursing

   i totally agree. we have been called to the carpet for waits of 4 hours!! can you imagine that. the pt, family and administration seem to think that we keep them down in the er for spite or to cause trouble. we don't!! most of the time i have no cont...

3. OB Emergencies

   ERNURSE4MS replied to ERNURSE4MS's topic in Ob/Gyn

   EEEKKK! That is a bad siuation. My advice to you is to research emergency treatment for OB's in your TNCC courses. Also I would recommend NALS as well as PALS these have some really good neonate info in them. Also do you have round the clock ER docs?...

4. Med error,I'm suspended,I need advice,please!

   ERNURSE4MS replied to Mama2-3's topic in Safety

   WOW. Talk about overkill. Unless there was something not in your post, what they did sounds alot like persecution. The scenerio does not add up. Has this happened to other nurses that you know of( in that faciliy)? Have you any other actions against ...

5. OB Emergencies

   ERNURSE4MS replied to ERNURSE4MS's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Midwife- what I hope happens from this is that the lines of communication between L&D are opened. There seems to be a big lack of communication in general but most of all with L&D. I don't understand it. There are weekly incidences of L&D...

   ERNURSE4MS replied to ERNURSE4MS's topic in Emergency

   Thanks for the replies. I have an update. The L&D nurse manager called me today and told me that I did a good job with that pt. She said I did exactly what I was supposed to do in that situation. She also said she took care of the comments about ...

   Thanks for all the replies. I have an update. The nurse manager for L&D called me today. She said I did a good job with the pt. She said I did exactly what I was supposed to do and probably saved the mom's life. I appreciated the kudos from her e...

   ERNURSE4MS replied to ERNURSE4MS's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Thanks for the posts. This was stressful for everyone involved. I have never see an abruptio before today, but had studied the s/sx in TNCC several times. There were several factors that were difficult here. One thing I haven't mentioned was that thi...

9. OB Emergencies

   ERNURSE4MS replied to ERNURSE4MS's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Thanks for the input. I do know the signs of OB emergencies. I felt that the mom was in too much distress to transport her without stabiliztion. BTW I checked FHT immediately and could not find any ( probable fetal demise prior to arriving to the er)...

10. OB Emergencies- kind of long

    ERNURSE4MS replied to ERNURSE4MS's topic in Emergency

    Thanks SIRI. I don't have alot of OB experience( little to none lol). I can't think of anything I would have done differently. I understand how stressful it mest be for an L&D nurse to go through this senerio in their side but I don't want them t...

11. OB Emergencies

    ERNURSE4MS posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Okay, this is kind of long but I wanted some input on this. Let me give you some back ground. I work in a rural ER( level 4 and 9 beds). We triage all OB's that come in except scheduled inductions or scheduled sections. We call L&d if they are gr...

    Okay this is kind of long but I would like your opinions on this. Let me give you a little set up- I work in a rural level 4 ER (small 9 bed). In our hosp we triage all OBs before they go to L&D unless they are a scheduled induction or section. I...

14. ER doc misread EKG? (long vent)

    ERNURSE4MS replied to JAHJF's topic in Cardiac

    okay it does sound like the er doc missed the mark, but i have to stand up for the er nurse. i have been in this situation, where it was obvious the pt was having an mi but the er doc refused to believe this and even after being shown an elevated tro...

15. The people you meet.......

    ERNURSE4MS replied to Bolts's topic in Emergency

    i just wanted to put in my 2cents worth. i agree with dixielee. also i have noticed that the older generations( over 60) are more stoic. the younger generations have been raised ( for the most part) to think that they are entitled to never feel pain....
