  1. What would you have done? Episiotomy

    Well not NO one... Sometimes the fetus becomes distressed and have prolonged decelerations. When baby is crowning and crumping at the same time, an episiotomy may be needed... And be the better option opposed to a c-section.
  2. What would you have done? Episiotomy

    I always have to wonder though, if numbers are worse in developed counties, because developed countries are more likely to have a system to collect data on outcomes, thus putting forward more negative outcomes. The same is true with other things, suc...
  3. Circ boards

    When we do circ's, we don't strap the arms down. We just swaddle them. I don't really see a need to strap them down.
  4. Best case scenario, you could get a job as a CNA on an OBGYN floor. If the manager/staff like you, once you graduate you could have a position waiting for you. Second best case, get a CNA job anywhere and it could give you the 1 up on a student witho...
  5. Uncensored Thoughts of a Nurse Interviewer

    I kinda got that vibe too... Hosh posh any skills/knowledge, if they fit in, by golly they must be a great nurse. *Que pseudo-tearing to promote bonding*
  6. You Don't Have to Be a Stereotype

    Well neither of these really answer or give credit to your claims about peppermint oil... I am not going to read the book but the link you provided didn't say anything about peppermint oil helping one void nor did it say anything about breastfeeding....
  7. You Don't Have to Be a Stereotype

    I'm assuming this is directed towards me? If you are assuming I am against natural medicine, you are mistaken. I simply stated treating something without a doctor's order is outside of a nurses' scope. As I said, in my facility, we don't use pepperm...
  8. You Don't Have to Be a Stereotype

    Wait, so do you sit on it or smell it? Or just different routes? I could understand sitting on it, as it probably induces some type of mechanism to relax the muscles? It seems like a wide practice I guess since most have agreed that their hospitals s...
  9. You Don't Have to Be a Stereotype

    I agree. I don't think you have to be black and white on what your beliefs are about the use of western medicine or alternative therapies. However, depending on where you are working, I doubt that peppermint oil was ordered by the doctor and/or can b...
  10. do you wash your hair every day?

    I always wondered for people who do this, does it make their hair greasy at all? I use a normal amount of shampoo and kinda too much conditioner so my hair is not dry. However, I do notice my ends are brittle a lot if I don't style it... So I do wond...
  11. Just venting here!

    I don't understand how a job you held in high school would have any influence on your pay as a nurse, say at least 4-5 years later with your nursing education and previous RN experience? Was the job even in healthcare? I also don't know who would acc...
  12. NEED ADVICE! Which position should I accept?

    I would choose the ortho floor as some of the knowledge can transfer to peds in your skill set. You won't be seeing too many strokes in the pediatric population... I hope. Although there are some neurological problems and skills you may see on the st...
  13. Can LPNs work in the delivery room or maternity?

    In my hospital, LPN's do not take any L&D. On only very rare occasions, we will have a LPN float to our unit to take mom-babies, but even then, the LPN's only get to do care on moms; no babies. So while there may be opportunities out there, I wou...
  14. Survey on infant male circumcision

    What is your problem? You have been the most condescending, arrogant, poster I have ever come across on allnurses. A simple, "No, I believe circumcision to be unnecessary" would suffice. However, you have continually come to calling people names and ...
  15. All in all, the thread has turned into nothing logical. Everything is refuted with personal opinions or ignored, not even hitting what was being discussed. But you know what? I'm happy. Happy because the CDC is supposably biased so that parents can c...
