1. Everything I do is wrong!

   BeagleLover2008 replied to teensmom's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I'm a little late to this thread party so hopefully by now you have your situation all fixed but I agree with some of the previous posters - why was the baby nurse doing that instead of nicely telling you that you should do it? I mean.. in my mind th...

2. Catheter Advice!!!

   BeagleLover2008 replied to LDR-RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

   The "winking" tip definitely works for me. Saturate the cottons with the betadine and swipe from top to bottom slowly and you'll usually see the meatus .. Oh and for sure if you cant find it, look lower .. I've seen it practically in the vagina in my...

8. NCLEX advice - Read this before you take it!

12. Proctors know if you pass NCLEX?

    BeagleLover2008 replied to BeagleLover2008's topic in NCLEX
