Old School

Just wondering what kind of "Old School" practices are your units still stuck on.

Take my hospital for example:

Sanitary belts for c/s, which of course lands right across the vertical incision line that they all seem to use (for no really good reason other than it may be easier). Persoanlly I prefer the lovely "Victoria Secret" mesh panites we use on the NSVDs instead.

Still doing losts of good ole soap suds enemas...always fun trying to run to the bathroom 9 months pregnant and hooked up to an IV, BP machine(which is not part of the monitor) and of course the monitor.

Continous FHT monitoring on a 26 wkr here for 3 days of GDM teaching?!?!?

Not getting pt's out of bed no matter what. Even using a bed pan for someone who is 2 cm Intact and on pit, just because they are on pit.

Starting all IVs in the hand w/ and 18g angio not to mention the pain but these puppies don't infuse well especially when it comes time to push (pt's use their hands too much to start it here).

23 Observation for ALL!!! No matter what the complaint (maby I am exatruating, but it sure seems like it sometimes)

Ah, there are more, just can't think of them right now. Wish some things could change as this place is just not progressive in thought. Don't get me wrong I like where I work, but sometimes I just wonder....

:confused: Shaved?? Don't most come in "prepped"already?!?!

When I was orienting a few months ago, one of the "older nurses" says to a patient..okay enough, what's up with shaving the pubic hair off..I haven't seen one with hair in months. I about died laughing. The girls reply...my boyfriend likes it that way.
