  1. I love nursing in Canada because...

    SuperFlyRN replied to bizzymum919's topic in Canada

    I'm confused about the Florida province thing unless you mean the snowbirds. I always thought Ontario was the warmest as our summers are looong and soo HOT! But I love it- As far as nursing in...

  2. Ontario Part time nurse seeking benefits, but from where?

    SuperFlyRN replied to X-treme's topic in International Nursing

    I am in South-Western Ontario-when I was part-time I looked into benefits. The ones offered through ONA were crazy for what I needed. Once I had 1500 hours worked at the hospital I was able to buy...

  3. Sick of working short

    SuperFlyRN replied to kristi-lpn2's topic in General Nursing

    I am always in charge on my shift (7p-7a) which is getting tiring enough on its own with all the arguing and crap that goes on within our units and I, typically, start with a full assignment-no...

  4. ? About not breastfeeding

    SuperFlyRN replied to Schmoo1022's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think it was misinterpreted what StuNurseUp was saying was mom's that are too lazy to breastfeed annoy her. Not judging them, but makinga statement. I have had mom's say that they do not wish to...

  6. Can you be stuck in OB/GYN if you choose to do it right our of school?

    SuperFlyRN replied to hurricaden's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Luckily, with Mother/Baby you have CaseRoom as the next step *up*, so to speak. So if you do mother/babe for a while and get too *comfortable* you can always move to L&D or NICU and still be in...

  7. L&D or Mother&Baby???

    SuperFlyRN replied to hugs&kisses's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I *absolutely* agree. When I was Xtraining to L&D (we are on an LDRP Unit) it was a great way to ease your way into it. Definately getting the experience with Maternal Newborn is an asset....

  8. What do patients say that irks you?

    SuperFlyRN replied to NurseforPreggers's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Absolutely, hands down UGH.....:barf01: :barf01:

  9. Naloxone as Antipyretic-Common?

    SuperFlyRN posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    just wondering if it is common practice in your facility to use naloxone (narcan) as an antipyretic. i am familiar with the pharmacology behind it, just wondering if it is commonly used. we have...

  10. What do patients say that irks you?

    SuperFlyRN replied to NurseforPreggers's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Sort of makes you wonder what else they have going on in their

  11. my first birth!

    SuperFlyRN replied to elizabells's topic in Ob/Gyn

    First birth, everyone in-between, and the three I had last night... One of mine from December was, easily, one of the best ever. They were an Indonesian family that came here (canada) in September...

  12. infants apical pulse

    SuperFlyRN replied to onduty23's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That's what I do! That and tap my finger... It was highly *recommended* by our Clinical Practice Managers that on babies less than 24 hours we listen for a full minute to assess for any abnormal heart...

  13. LATCH: a breastfeeding charting system and documentation tool

    SuperFlyRN replied to baby&mommynurse's topic in Ob/Gyn

    OMG-I saw the "doctors liked it" and I had to re-read. I have to tell you, I don't think our docs even realize what goes on once the babe is born (unless they are getting a circ, LOL!)-I'm talking...

  14. ? About not breastfeeding

    SuperFlyRN replied to Schmoo1022's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Is latching now a lost cause? By 4 months I know babes are pretty set in their ways, but.. I know it is exhausting because you are essentially double feeding. Is your dh/so able to do the feeding...

  15. What do patients say that irks you?

    SuperFlyRN replied to NurseforPreggers's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I just thought of something else that irks me "You are so lucky to work nights when it is quiet!" What the...? People deliver at all hours-most of our natural deliveries (not man-made inductions)...

  16. Naloxone as Antipyretic-Common?

    SuperFlyRN replied to SuperFlyRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Our anesthestists can be VERY hard-headed when they want to me. I have found it to be very different between when I work in the US and here. There is a lot more freedom and communication between the...

  17. What do patients say that irks you?

    SuperFlyRN replied to NurseforPreggers's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Jen- Absolutely! I think the first thing people said when I was pg was "get all the sleep you can now" but most new parents that is the #1 complaint-'I have been awake for ____hours and this baby...

  18. Help me handle Pitocin.

    SuperFlyRN replied to epiphany's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That resident sounds pleasant...:angryfire That was something I noticed when I work contingent in the states-the residents just seem to have carte blanche to do whatever-makes you very uneasy. Here...

  19. Naloxone as Antipyretic-Common?

    SuperFlyRN replied to SuperFlyRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I realized I put antipyretic after I went to bed-long night-after working 12 hrs than 2 hrs OT I then was on call for Pharmacy so little over tired I think-I was thinking Tylenol when I put...

  20. Help me handle Pitocin.

    SuperFlyRN replied to epiphany's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That seems to be the norm. We even have a saying when we phone the doc for admission RX-Do you want me to Admit'em, Pit'em, Epidural and Rupture? (those are standing orders) Thank God we can advocate...

  21. Need some encouragement!!!

    SuperFlyRN replied to klleo27's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree w/Mediatrix8, I have never seen the team effort like in OB/L&D. There are the odd times we are so overwhelmingly busy but our rooms are equiped with Code Blue alarms that when pulled alarm...

  22. Patients always needing something no matter what.

    SuperFlyRN replied to OliveVinesRN's topic in General Nursing

    Noahm- I cannot even begin to imagine what that must be like. It does *not* make you a bad nurse. You cannot do everything, you cannot please everybody. You are a wonderful nurse. I just accept that...

  23. ? About not breastfeeding

    SuperFlyRN replied to Schmoo1022's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Renee- That is funny you say that because that is what I call it-the newborn fog. I try to explain to mom, you know how tired you are, well he is alert for a couple of hours after and then takes a...

  24. What do patients say that irks you?

    SuperFlyRN replied to NurseforPreggers's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I know it is often hard to believe because most people think "I just had a baby" and it is insane to think that we need to do VS. THat is why I tell my patients (I hate to wake sleeping moms/babies)...

  25. Salary question??

    SuperFlyRN replied to joe134's topic in General Nursing

    Just wondering-why should they get paid more? Strictly because of the initial outlay? Just curious. We always argue this at my workplace. I went back to Nursing after working a few years as a...
