  2. How do you handle miscarriage/ IUFD?

    Dayray replied to Aneroo's topic in Ob/Gyn

    There is some very good advice already posted here. There are fetal loss classes as Deb said and they are very good things. They say some things that make allot of sense but that you might not think...

  3. placentral abruption

    Dayray replied to tiamai's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Sudden and complete abruptions happen but I've never seen one happen while the patient was on the monitor. I've had them come in reporting a sudden sharp pain followed by heavy bleeding and no fetal...

  4. Starting rate in L & D

    Dayray replied to county162's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We get $200 a year for RNC here =( hospitals don't hold specialty or education in very high regard it seems. RN's are just a license to corporate

  5. Need some opinions

    Dayray replied to RaeT,RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree with the above. A charge nurse is there to help you and to make sure you don't make mistakes. However it's your patient and your license and you have to make the final decision what to do. If...

  6. Public Breastfeeding

    Dayray replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    I think people should be able to breastfeed in public. My 4 children were breastfeed and my wife often had trouble with people. Some even told her that she was disgusting. My wife is very private and...

  7. Is it legal/ethical for preceptor to sabotage student?

    Dayray replied to Roland's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  8. Will it wreck me? Would it wreck you?

    Dayray replied to NurseDaddy2006's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Nursedaddy I think you already know what I have to say about discrimination and guys in L&D so I'll just say forget what that RN in the park said, it's horse @#*^. As for working in an area where...

  9. info about risks of urinecatheter during deliviey

    Dayray replied to Uti's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Are you talking about an "In and out cath" or a foley (one with a bag)? In regards to in and out (or strait) cath I haven't read anything about that. I would think they risk of damage to the urethra...

  10. Is it legal/ethical for preceptor to sabotage student?

    Dayray replied to Roland's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If she is already feeling stress and just orienting, doesn't that tell you something? ICU is a rough place the reason most places require at least a year's experience is because it is a hard place to...

  11. As bad as they say??

    Dayray replied to lancerRN2b's topic in Men in Nursing

    Nursing is a great profession. At the same time there are many problems in nursing. As to weather or not its a good profession to get into it depends on the person. For me the good things I get out of...

  12. CNA performing a newborn screen?

    Dayray replied to rnmi2004's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The discharge teaching is the thing that bothers me. Sure most of the baby care is common sense and a CNA could easily pick up the information needed to give PP instructions to a mom. Still though the...

  13. triage

    Dayray replied to acuteobrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We are setting one up it wont be staffed by our RN's it will have a different staff of experienced nurses. I guess it could be a good thing but I will kind of miss doing triage, they are kinda fun...

  14. More questions

    Dayray replied to OB_or_NICU_hopeful's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think these words can mean different things depending on the school, hospital, department, geographical area you work in. I did an internship for the last 3 or 4 months before I became an RN. It was...

  15. MD's "pushing" epidurals?

    Dayray replied to Mrs.S's topic in Ob/Gyn

    In areas where epidural are common people doctors and nurses tend to develop a comfort level with them. Also they tend to be surprised and even a little annoyed when people deviate from the norm. I'm...

    Dayray posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    OK so I'm just trying to get perspective here. I’m supposed to be asleep and have to work tonight but can’t sleep because of nightmares. We have an OB where I work that routinely will do this...

  19. Questions for L & D Nurse's....

    Dayray replied to Hope2BaRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hi, "Is it more common to work 8 or 12 hr. shifts in L & D?" 12 hour shifts are the most common in all hospital nursing. Some places still do 8's and there are some situations where people even do...

  20. Evil OB

    Dayray replied to Dayray's topic in Ob/Gyn

    So I talked to my manager today and I think we might be able to do something. After I posted this thread I had some time to think it over and decided against reporting it as abuse. I wish I could...

  21. Does MD really stand for Mad Diva?

    Dayray replied to OliveVinesRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree direct is the best way still there are some Doctors that simply will not respond well to a nurse that is anything less then submissive. For the most part OB's tend to be the best when it comes...

  24. Male interested in nursing - need help

    Dayray replied to voiddweller's topic in General Nursing

    If I were in your situation I wouldn't bother applying to a BSN program. Look for a bachelor to MSN bridge program. They allow you to get a masters in nursing in 18 - 24 months. You wouldn't be a...

  25. How do I live my life after being at the hospital? Help!

    Dayray replied to shadowrose81's topic in General Nursing

    You will probably be able to balance it out in your mind. At first you'll have a hard time getting over the things you see. After a while you'll wonder if you're a bad person for not getting all...
