yeah i had been pulling clots out for a couple days, and i thought one was in there again, so i reached up and pulled but it wouldnt come, so i pinched, and I pinched off a foot.

HEE HEE IM brilliant!:rotfl:

It is! I think i will increase my chances a bit too because I want to work in High Risk.

LOL I am from the area so it was an easy guess are you talking about Tony hospital?

Michigan City?

I can say from laboring without meds, it hurts, but it isnt impossible even in a hospital.

NatKAt, in their defense, they were very cordial once i saw the doc. they took the baby and put it in a 2*2 tray and covered it with gauze.. they asked if i wanted to see it and left me alone to say good bye for about 5 minutes. They then took the baby to pathology by hand for a necropsy.

Lol

I couldnt agree more, and I would have called my OB from the hospital room phone.

I can tell you that the ED nurse sat with me for about 4 hours, pulling out clots, cleaning me up and crying with me.

I will NOT have an epidural next time if i am able to. I have fibromyalgia now and I am in pain every second of my life, so its nothing new to me.

I have two kids and have had 13 miscarriages, but even before my kids thats where I wanted to work. AND, I really only want to work at one hospital, but I will keep my options opened. I still have a long way to go in school.

yeah i know what you mean. Onco would be more fun in an intellectual sense. You get to be on the cutting edge in terms of new proceedures and drugs. I would hate it because of the morbitity of the patients in a unit like that.

Oh im sure itll be exciting, its just that im afraid ill mess up on my paperwork and stuff.

I know that many people have felt very rewarded working in a gero unit. That is something that is hard to find often in nursing. Many people are less than happy about their nurses or doctors. Gero patients and families tend to be happier.
