  1. No/Late prenatal care? do you see it often? why do you think it happens?

    MishlB replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Many of our "Moms", and I use that term loosely, do not get prenatal care because doctors tend to frown upon drug use during

    MishlB replied to t2000JC's topic in NICU, Neonatal

  4. What is your hospital's policy on supplemental feeding?

    MishlB replied to cabbage patch rn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I guess I don't see this, since most of our new moms are teens, and they don't have time to BF, or they say they will do it later. Umm,

  7. Induction craze

    MishlB replied to Blizzard's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Being stressed is not a reason for induction. It will happen when the time is right. We have many docs that induce early for convenience or whatever, and I disagree. Mother nature is a wonderful...

  8. Induction craze

    MishlB replied to Blizzard's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I wish we had only 3 deliveries a day. 8 inductions on the book as well as scheduled sections and whatever else may come up. Scary, and yes, spread too

  9. Bilingual or not?

    MishlB replied to ShellyNC's topic in General Students

    While Spanish is "the" language to learn nowadays, I dount you will become fluent while in nursing school...it'a almost easier to learn on the job, the medical stuff, and the different types of...

  10. Back-to-back 12 hour shifts

    MishlB replied to Tiki_Torch's topic in General Nursing

    MishlB replied to BSNgrad2004's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    MishlB replied to RNLaborNurse4U's topic in Ob/Gyn

  15. Cholostrum/breastmilk as eye treatment

    MishlB replied to L&D_RN_OH's topic in Ob/Gyn

    So at what point would you feed a baby? 44 is pretty low, and I would have probably syringe fed formula. Have seen many babies drop because parents don't feed baby as they should. They can still BF,...

  17. NY State may require nurses to obtain 4-year degrees

    MishlB replied to Brian's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

  19. Mother-Infant Coupling

    MishlB replied to niquern's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Our ratio is one RN to 4 babies. Our hospital does rooming in, and nobody has complained. They know this coming in, and the majority like it. If they are too weak, or on Mag, yes, the baby is in...

  20. Mother-Infant Coupling

    MishlB replied to niquern's topic in Ob/Gyn

  21. Medical patients on post-partum floor?

    MishlB replied to tiliimnrn's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    It all boils down to $$..an empty bed is empty income. Our postpartum floor takes anything from lap/chole to rule out TIA. If a woman is also pregant, it doesn't matter what she has, they all come to...

  25. How many nurses do their own vitals???

    MishlB replied to AmyRN1227's topic in General Nursing

    Are you a nurse? It angers you to do vitals when you see PCA's standing around? This patient is YOUR responsibility, not the PCA. You have the license, and this is part of your job. Doing vitals is...
