1. Have you ever really heard a doctor say this?

   TRINI_RN replied to monkeybug's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I have never heard an OB say that, but I have had a patient or two say that. They were older women, closer to menopause with surprise unplanned pregnancies.

   Funnywoman, Hi. I tried to PM you, but your inbox is full. I have a few questions If that's alright?

4. Tell me about a time....give example questions.

   TRINI_RN replied to neurocheck2's topic in Job Hunt

   These types of questions are not my favorite because coming up with one specific example is sometimes hard. I just googled KSA's as suggested up thread and found literally pages of behavioral questions on VT's website. I'm attaching the document to t...

5. Nitrous Oxide use may come back to the US for labor pain management!!

   TRINI_RN replied to klone's topic in Ob/Gyn

   This seems like a wonderful alternative to the current methods of pain control available. I wonder how many hospitals are looking into bringing it back. I also wonder if the anesthesia community will try to block it.

6. DVT protocols

   TRINI_RN replied to lleamon's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Our protocol for scheduled c/s is to put the scd's on in Preop. The Docs want the scd's running at least a 1/2 hour before surgery starts. Had a fluffy lady the other day with hx of DVT and PE for indux, she'd taken her last lovenox the night before....

7. I am so bummed...

   TRINI_RN replied to Adams_Mommy_07's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm so sorry to hear that, I truly am. I also have PCOS, and I can tell you that for most women it is very manageable. Also, the fact that you found out so early on is good because now you know what the problem is and can work toward correcting it. T...

8. "Rooming in" on Mother/Baby - not one size fits all

   TRINI_RN replied to LilyBlue's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I'm sorry but as soon as she said the dad was asleep with baby on his lap while she was asleep there should have been some intervention. What if he had moved and the baby would have fell on the floor? Obviously the couple was to exhausted to care for...

10. Electronic medical records?

    TRINI_RN replied to TRINI_RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We have had 2 days of training in class, and now we have to practice at work when there is down time. The training was ok, but I think it would have been a lot better if it was department focused instead of just directed to medsurg. I, as well as nur...

12. ACLS

    TRINI_RN replied to Maikafer-RN's topic in New Nurse

    LOL, I just passed my megacode today! The class was 2 days for me and not bad at all. Study EPI, amiodarone, atropine, vasopressin, adenosine, and lidocaine. Know when you give them and at what dose. Also know the stroke protocol, which rhythms you d...

13. Electronic medical records?

    TRINI_RN posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    My hospital is going to a completely paperless electronic medical records system in a month or so. Are there any other L&D nurses out there using this type of system? I love the advantages this system will bring (being able to look up all past v...

14. Elective Primary C/S

    TRINI_RN replied to mamafeliz's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I haven't seen one since I've been on my unit. I asked a nurse who's been there for almost 5 years and she said she can only remember one. I personally oppose elective primary sections, it is after all still major abdominal surgery.

15. amount of time alotted from recovery to pp unit

    TRINI_RN replied to rnElaine's topic in Ob/Gyn

    1 hour, and It's so hard to get everything done in that time. Pt cleaned up, 4 fundal assesments and vital signs, all charting done and batch printed, orders in etc. Meanwhile, I usually have another patient that I'm responsible for. I try to get rol...
