   WOW! This is my first year at this hospital and we got LL bean travel bags. They are very nice. This is something I would actually have bought for myself. They don't have the hospital logo or anything on them.

2. New Restroom protocol per management....

   Cindy-OB RN/CCE replied to mother/babyRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I worked for a care management firm a couple of years ago and we received the DUMBEST memo about bringing "smelly" foods for lunch. Apparently someone brought fish and someone else was offended by the smell. Anyway, I saw this same restroom policy o...

   Cindy-OB RN/CCE replied to thisnurse's topic in General Nursing

   I had a post-partum mom ask me to get clippers out of her purse and clip her finger nails! I thought I heard her wrong so I asked her to repeat it and she did. I handed her the purse off her bedside table that was ten inches from her hand and said, ...

   Thanks everyone for the support. We had a meeting last night for staff to vent and it helped alot. Autopsy showed a tight knot in the cord. We still don't know why the strips looked good all the way to the end.

   We lost a baby today. My first and the doctors first. Strip looked great all the way. No one knows what happened. It was devastating for all involved. The poor parents were in shock along with the staff. I can't imagine that this will ever get easie...

9. support person consent

   Cindy-OB RN/CCE replied to valene's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I don't know why we will be getting rid of it. Most people think it's just extra paperwork. It can be a pain if there are alot of observors. Some moms have dad plus both sets of grandparents then you have to go around and get 5 people to sign the ...

10. support person consent

    Cindy-OB RN/CCE replied to valene's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My unit has that same permit form. Mom signs it stating who can watch the delivery. The observors sign it stating they will leave if asked and not hold the hospital liable for any injury to themselves. My manager says we will be getting rid of it ...

    Congratulations on your up coming graduation. Where I work new nurses spend a day in out patient surgery and start IVs. It's great experience and really boosts confidence. Maybe you could suggest this at your new job. Also don't be afraid to say you...

    I had a Davis's NCLEX book and it was a great study guide to use for tests. Some of my school exams had the exact same questions as the NCLEX book. Cindy

13. Help on Med Surg from OB dept.

    Cindy-OB RN/CCE replied to Ekaye's topic in Safety

    I also work in OB and in my hospital we float to med-surg but they can't float to us. It seems to me that each unit should cover themselves, excluding emergencies, and that if everyone would stop keeping track of what other units were or weren't do...

14. OB Dept Staffing

    Cindy-OB RN/CCE replied to doj's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Our hospital does about 300 deliveries a year. We always have at least 1 RN in the unit even if it is closed or census is low. 2 RNs who can do L&D are scheduled but if it is really slow 1 will go and help med-surg. If it is busy we have an extra...

15. I finished NRP today!!

    Cindy-OB RN/CCE posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm so happy. I finished all of the NRP tests today and did the mega code. I hope I never have to use all of it. I start nights on Tuesday and have two more weeks of orientation left. Things are coming together and getting easier. I'm by no means...
