So, I was very excited about the Grey's Anatomy scrubs that came out. Flattering and nicely made. Lately though, I've noticed an ugly trend. Every nurse and student nurse I see wearing them is...

We give a celebration meal too. We also give a water jug with logo and a bag of toiletries (lotion, shampoo, hand sanitizer, kleenex). We give hand made pillows to the c-sections and stockings out at...

Thanks Jean Marie46514 on helping me view it a different way. I try very hard to be non-judgemental, but lately, it has been very hard sending these babies home fearing you may see them as the next...

I agree. It is just like the Hepatitis B series requirement as far as I am concerned. Granted, the effective rate is about 60%, so obviously, the more people who get it, the more everyone will be...

I am constantly amazed that educated nurses don't trust/believe when it comes to vaccinations. Half the nurses I work with don't support vaccinations. It is simple germ theory with almost a 100 years...

LDRP is the only nursing I have ever done. I used to love everything about it. Over the last 5 years it seems as though the patients are different. Perhaps I really am jaded, but the trends of more...

I was hired to Maternal Child Health as a new grad. When I was hired, I specifically asked if they thought I needed to have some time on med/surg first. They said they needed me directly in L and D....

I was thinking of all the skills we have that allow for easy "catching". Years of fetal monitoring, skills fairs for complications, training for c-sections, BLS, NRP, comfort techniques for moms,...

So, I was applying for a clinic position in Occ Med after doing years of labor and delivery... The supervisor interviewing me asked me if I "catch babies" and said she "always wanted to catch a...

Just wanting your opinions: I know an RN who has recently become a CNM, but she only works at her hospital in the capacity of a labor and delivery RN. Lately, she has been using the portable...

Decreased fetal movement- NST Bleeding/Spotting- NST and perineal inspection/evaluation before vaginal exam if okayed by doctor ? ROM-amnisure or nitrazine Nausea and Vomiting- signs and...

I know how you feel. I am trying to do the same thing after 10 years in LDRP, just not to the ED. I just keep looking for openings to come around, not sure what else to do, though, I want to get into...

I've done nights in LDRP for 10 years. I have 3 kids, the youngest is a baby...I have always preferred night shift. This is where you will find the best teamwork and teamplayers! With your schedule...

Hi, I have been an RN for 10 years in labor and delivery. I am feeling very burnt out and in need of a change and new challenge. I know correctional nursing at a male facility seems on the...
