   ohfeelyafundi replied to ohfeelyafundi's topic in Ob/Gyn

   ohfeelyafundi replied to Swiftee's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I didn't realize that I would absolutely love OB intil after I was trained and worked for a year or so. It took that long for me to be able to feel a little more comfortable and relax a little more during stressful situations. As a student, you do...

9. Yet another question :)

   ohfeelyafundi replied to ShannonB25's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Hey Shannon! My typical 'load' varies from day to day. It really depends on each patient and their history, emotional state and current medical situation. BUT...for the most part it wouldn't be unusual to have a 'normal' early labor and a mom and b...

10. mandatory on call time

    ohfeelyafundi replied to valene's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hey Valene! We do about 360 deliveries a year and we don't have any mandatory on-call time. The idea was tossed around a little bit, but it got shot down quickly by our union negotiators. We have a pretty good group of nurses that will come in if t...
