I'd like to see how others go thru the newborn assessment. Starting at delivery.. how do you find the first pulse? by the umbilical cord...what about resp.? what steps after that...eye oint, vit. k, the intitial assessment the whole nine yards! I'm just interested in seeing if we all do it the same or if the routine varies from person to person.. Thanks, Brandy I'm working on getting me a routine down...any hints are appreciated

i'm an lpn and i started working in ob last week. the hospital where i work has ldrp rooms. when i was hired it was my understanding that lpn's can work in nursery and do pp care. however the ob director mentioned today that she had done some studying and i can "labor" pts...my question i guess is are there other lpn's out there that are doing this. and what techniquely qualifies as "laboring a pt" would that be lady partsl exams, monitoring pitocin, etc. thanks for all the help. if it helps any i live in tn....and i know that i can not give an iv push!!!!! i'm willing to learn all and i am going back to school i just don't want to be out of my scope of practice and i told her that i really wanna learn nursery and post partum before i tackle the laboring job. she said whenever i was ready. thanks for all the help and advice from all you seasoned nurses....rn and lpn alike... brandy

Hi everyone.... I just started OB on Monday. There are some abbreviations that I'm not familiar with. I'd appreciate a list that I can compile and put in a notebook. Thanks, Brandy

Hi I'm Brandy I've been an LPN for 1 year last month and am currently as of 2 weeks ago pursuing my RN...I really wanna work OB. My doctor told me to put in my application which I did. I talked to the OB coordinator 2 weeks ago and she told me that if I hadn't heard from her in 2 weeks to call her back...That was yesterday. SO I called, no answer left a voicemail. Should I call her back today or wait on her to call me? Thanks...hope this makes sense... Brandy Lpn pursuing RN Hoping to work in OB
