  1. confined to bed after 4cm?

    Dayray replied to littlemrs's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Walking during labor is great it relives pain and helps progress labor. My patients are only confined to bed if they have an epidural. even with pit I still get them up to the BR and will put them in...

  2. Need advice: non-hospital birth?

    Dayray replied to mm1021's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree with the other 2 posters about the hospital back up. I personally am fascinated by home birth. I am also concerned that some of the info I have read is hmm how should I say.. wacky but don't...

  3. Elective C-sections

    Dayray replied to Altra's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I strongly agree that women should have the right to choose what they want. Epidural , no epidural, pain meds, music playing, lights on or off, eat the placenta don't eat it, feed it to the cat......

  4. 2yr. Assoc. nurse or BSN nurse? Which is better?

    Dayray replied to Will's topic in General Nursing

    You will get a million different answers to this question. here is mine. ADN - in most cases get more clinical and on the job type training. because of this they start out better able to handle floor...

  5. Elective C-sections

    Dayray replied to Altra's topic in Ob/Gyn

    As crazy as this sounds I think we are very close to elective C/S being a normal thing. think about it we C/S almost all twins, almost all breeches almost all who have had a previus C/S and the...

  6. Nurses are not Doctors

    Dayray replied to Plato's topic in General Nursing

    yes in my area I am sure that they do work FOR and not with the MD's. They are paid by the MD and don't bill on there own. I am on friendly terms with them and worked with many of them before they...

  7. Nurse to Couplet Ratio?????

    Dayray replied to aimeeRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    4 , maybe 5 in a pinch. I can provide quality care for 4 but anymore then that and it's just going threw the

  8. Nurses are not Doctors

    Dayray replied to Plato's topic in General Nursing

    I just wanted to say that I can kind of see what he is saying about NP's. I'm sure it depends on where you work. I'm sure that in some places NP's are independent from MD's and approach things from...

  10. 14 Nurses Fired and 9 disciplined in Kentucky

    Dayray replied to nurseattorney's topic in General Nursing

    This Gerber person is obviously not a nurse. If she/he were this would have been handled much differently. It sounds to me as though even though there weren't written standing orders it was implied...

  11. I Hate You, Heart Attack.....

    Dayray replied to mother/babyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, you are very gifted with words. I am sorry for the pain you felt. Thank you for letting us read that. You floored me, awesome

  12. "salary requirements"

    Dayray replied to joyflnoyz's topic in General Nursing

    I would find out what other nurses are getting then ask for just slightly above that. With the shortage I doubt they will pass you up just because your salary requirement is on the high side. When it...

  13. Nurses and Anatomy

    Dayray replied to prairiegirl's topic in General Nursing

    I defiantly don't remember all the things I learned in A&P but when I read a chart and see an anatomical word I can usually either remember it or figure out what it is. I can also figure out...

  14. But I have little kids!

    Dayray replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, So please tell me how my post became a rant about single people being selfish? Yes I did use that word but go back and read my post and you'll see that I never said such a silly thing. Also I...

  15. Want to know positive and negative feedbacks about working in Maternity Unit

    Dayray replied to inna's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I, as usual agree with smiling, You can't begin to understand maternity nursing until you experience it on a day to day basis. As nurse in this area you will experience every possible emotion on a...

  16. But I have little kids!

    Dayray replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree, I have 4 children and Christmas is a big deal to them. I volunteer to work all other holidays and have even traded days off so single coworkers can have the partying holidays off. Yet...

  17. Where are all the p.p. Nurses views?

    Dayray replied to wannaknow's topic in General Nursing

    I think they are talking about post partum depression. If you are there aren't allot of resources for this. Studies have been done but nothing definitive has been published. I did my senior research...

  18. Deliveries

    Dayray replied to acuteobrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I've never been in that situation and being that I am still not as experienced as most nurse on my unit, I would try to get someone else to take over for me. However, if I had to do it and there was a...

  19. Any male nurses on your OB unit???

    Dayray replied to *Ferty~OB~RN*'s topic in Ob/Gyn

    The female not being allowed to cath a male patient thing is so strange to me. Here almost all nurses are women. so many times having a male cath a male, isn't even an option. I guess it just goes to...

  20. OB Nursing with a disabled patient

    Dayray replied to AlabamaDesigner's topic in Ob/Gyn

    A person with any special circumstances should interview doctors and find out how they do things. If lady partsl birth is possible for you and thats what you want, you need to find a doctor who will...

  21. Lotus births.

    Dayray replied to dawngloves's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Man, I thought I was open minded but this just blows my mind open. I could handle and even see some of the sentimental/ symbolic value of barring the placenta under a tree. Even though It gives me the...

  22. Any male nurses on your OB unit???

    Dayray replied to *Ferty~OB~RN*'s topic in Ob/Gyn

    I've heard allot about ban's against male nurses working OB. I assume that it's never put into writing but it is still stated and enforced. I've heard of 2 men that tried to challenge these ban's and...

  23. Any male nurses on your OB unit???

    Dayray replied to *Ferty~OB~RN*'s topic in Ob/Gyn

    Funny thing was that the 3 who did ask for a female nurse all had male doctors =P I once asked an out of town patient why she had come to my town to deliver. She said she had wanted a female doctor....

  24. Any male nurses on your OB unit???

    Dayray replied to *Ferty~OB~RN*'s topic in Ob/Gyn

    What does his being male have to do with his comments? I once worked with a female nurse who would hit her patients, she was reported over and over but for some reason was allowed to continue working....
