1. What's the weirdest baby name?

   FroggieLiz replied to teresab_2000's topic in Ob/Gyn

   No, not S's. It had -, ', and `. I told her she couldn't name her baby that on the birth certificate. Then, I just wanted to know why she chose that kind of name, so I asked. No ethical problems, here. So long as it fits on the birth certificate, I d...

2. What's the weirdest baby name?

   FroggieLiz replied to teresab_2000's topic in Ob/Gyn

   we had a family whose last name was Hicks recently, and they named their baby boy Braxton. I had to tell apatient the other day that she couldn't name her baby what she had decided because it couldn't go on the birth certificate with all of the ' a...

3. NCLEX prep course

   FroggieLiz replied to FroggieLiz's topic in New Nurse

   I ended up doing the Hurst Review, and I passed the NCLEX in 75 questions!

4. Funny OB things people say

   FroggieLiz replied to at your cervix's topic in Ob/Gyn

   We recently had a patient's husband call and say that his wife had "dropped" her mucus plug...I asked him, "was she holding it?" (What makes it funnier is that he is a CRNA who does quite a few epidurals in our unit).

5. What's the weirdest baby name?

   FroggieLiz replied to teresab_2000's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Today I saw (thank God not a patient) a Clitaurus...Either the parents had a sex and astrology problem or they loved their car a little too mcuh!

6. Fundal pressure

   FroggieLiz replied to Kristin_collegemom's topic in Ob/Gyn

   When the doc asks for fundal pressure for AROM, and I will put my hand there, and just pretend. Often, they'll get so frustrated with my lack of "muscle strength" and do it themselves. That's fine...then it's all on them. Docs will ask for it if th...

7. Fundal pressure

   FroggieLiz replied to Kristin_collegemom's topic in Ob/Gyn

   It is against our policy. There are doctors (and nurses) who will ask for or perform fundal pressure regularly. Usually not from the first push, though. I know that some docs are really lazy when it comes down to it (and should probably retire or ...

8. What's the weirdest baby name?

   FroggieLiz replied to teresab_2000's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Today, we had a pt name her son Izzard (yes, like Lizzard without the L) Yesterday we had a pt name her daughter Shiann Desire (supposed to say like Cheyenne Desiree) I'm noticing that if you take a word and add La' in front of it, it becomes a "grea...

   Patient just yesterday came in and on the triage paper wrote "pain in my viginil bumps"--mispellings and all. I don't know what "viginal bumps" are, but I am certainly glad I was not up for next admission!

10. What malpractice insurance??

    FroggieLiz replied to InmyblooD's topic in Emergency

    Good points, loricatus. I will have to think about this some more. Even the nurses I work with who have been sued still say they won't carry the malpractice insurace as extra because they believe that it would have made things worse on their part i...

11. What malpractice insurance??

    FroggieLiz replied to InmyblooD's topic in Emergency

    I don't have any, and neither do any of the nurses I work with...and the hospital I work for RECOMMENDS that we do NOT carry it as nurses. Why? Because studies show that IF something ever happens, then the "victim" is more likely to sue you (or go ...

12. Unapproved abbreviations

    FroggieLiz posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    As I am orienting to an L&D unit, I am learning quite a few "unapproved abbreviations" that are used in passing (not charting, except on occasion). They lighten the mood. So, I was just wondering if your unit has any similar? FOB: Father of ba...

13. Funny OB things people say

    FroggieLiz replied to at your cervix's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Ok, I'll just stick with this past week to keep it short: We had a pt come up to the counter to be "triaged" and when asked what was wrong, she said, "my naval is ripping and it hurts" Well, she was pretty far along in her pg...maybe she was getting...

14. What's the weirdest baby name?

    FroggieLiz replied to teresab_2000's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I so agree with everyone who hates the Nevaeh name...had a pt who wanted to name her daughter that, but was quite upset that her friend had taken the name from her. And, yes, when she told me she said, "it's heaven spelled backwards." Anyway, the p...

15. What's the weirdest baby name?

    FroggieLiz replied to teresab_2000's topic in Ob/Gyn

    :yeahthat: On a side note, did everyone hear about the couple who wanted to name their child "4real"? They were denied because a name can only be characters, not numbers...some people just don't make any sense to me at all!
