  1. Who mixes pitocin and mag?

    Dayray replied to bbnurse's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Pharmacy does both now. We used to mix our own pit. At my old hospital we mixed it all pit, mag and antibiotics. Like so many things haveing pharmacy mix your meds is both good and bad. It's nice not...

  2. Doulas?

    Dayray replied to asher315's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree (as usual) with all the things Smiling said about pushing. I do a few other things in addition. I'm not really sure how much contributes to success and how much is just my style but it's hard...

  3. Maternal Care Plan help please

    Dayray replied to griffheelz's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I would love to help but I'm not sure what you are asking for. All you have listed are some nursing diagnosis there is no data. Good data gathering is the key. If you have done a good assessment and...

  4. How do You deal with Man-Hating Female Nurses?

    Dayray replied to PrisonrNurs's topic in Men in Nursing

    I had a past experience with this and was not successful in dealing with it. Some nurses hated me for being a male nurse and they slowly poisoned the ones that didn't by either lying to them or just...

  6. Doulas?

    Dayray replied to asher315's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Her advise was out of a book I guess I should clarify by saying that it wasn't so much bad as it was just not fit for the situation and different from what I do. The real problem was that she was...

  7. Doulas?

    Dayray replied to asher315's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am not sure how you turned this into an issue of a patient refusing pitocin or me forcing a woman to take pitocin. I certainly don't see anything in my post about someone not having rights to refuse...

    Dayray replied to SierraN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You did fine. #1 you knew the doc and new what he would want you to do. #2 this pateint needs a spec exam and it doesent sound like you have an OB in house. You had to get one there to properly assess...

  9. Doulas?

    Dayray replied to asher315's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Dayray replied to asher315's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hi Jolie =) It was a busy semester for my wife so was takeing up allot of the slack with household/ family stuff and was on a major reading binge. I did stop in from time to time but just did'nt...

  12. Why do we need the docs for delivery?

    Dayray replied to ER1010's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think Nurses opinions on this subject are largely dependent on what type of environment we work in. Personally I have worked in both a small rural hospital (briefly) and a large busy high risk/ high...

  13. Marginalization of Male Nurses

  14. Rather odd question

    Dayray replied to FrostyLight's topic in Men in Nursing

  15. OB Clinicals

    Dayray replied to carolynd's topic in Men in Nursing

  16. Cord Blood Collection

    Dayray replied to JaneyW's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Our hospital policy is that we don't do anything with the kits. Supposedly people pay like $5,000 for the kits and initial storage then $500 a year for the storage. I don't want to b responsible for...

  18. Why do some nurses do this? And why are they allowed to?

    Dayray replied to Town & Country's topic in General Nursing

    I used to work a ton of OT. When I worked post partum I did as many as 16 12's in a row. Heck I even worked OT as an LPN during RN school. I can't seem to do it now, last year the most I did was 9 in...

    Dayray replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yes,it really depends on the child's personality. I really agree about having extra supervision. I've seen it both ways, good and bad. One delivery I will never forget had a 6 year old little boy in...

    Dayray replied to KRVRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Dayray replied to NurseMelissa's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Dayray replied to alphafe's topic in Ob/Gyn

    In response to the person that said that parents cant watch their children all the time. This is true it is not possible to watch your kids all the time but you shouldn't have to. Yes there are going...

  24. Old Ladies Having Babies

    Dayray replied to alphafe's topic in Ob/Gyn

    As far as the issue of age in child bearing we all have opinions. I try to remember that things like this are often a matter of perspective rather then right or wrong. I do think that the issue of a...
