  1. Muslim, Orthodox Jews, Mennonites; How to care for female patients of "modest" faiths

    Dayray replied to sunnyjohn's topic in General Nursing

    That was way out of line. Asking her to remove her head covering and not allowing her a second gown had nothing to do with providing her care. This was a blatant refusal to honor her beliefs. Your...

  5. any ideas on when???

    Dayray replied to athomas91's topic in Ob/Gyn

    What I tell people is this: You go to the hospital (instead of delivering at home) for 2 reasons. 1# pain control - go to the hospital if you need pain meds (sure some people would take them as soon...

  6. Frequency of vaginal exams during labor

    Dayray replied to BETSRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Like many things my opinion has changed on this over the last year or so. Here is what I do. Natural patient. On admission, when I think they are getting close to complete (with a multip), when they...

  7. ABG's

    Dayray posted a topic in General Nursing

  9. Should I find a new OB??

    Dayray replied to hope3456's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm not that familiar with AFP so I can't comment as to its validity but Smiling is a very well read so I would trust what she said. What I will say is that, it is very important that you have good...

  11. Cervix stretching..dense epidurals - advice?

    Dayray replied to SierraN's topic in Ob/Gyn

  12. cytotec for retained tissue

    Dayray replied to jenib's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm surprised to hear this. I would have thought that it would actually reduce the chances of the retained products coming out because it makes the uterus firm. Sure it can cause contractions in...

  13. What Grossness Is Cool?

    Dayray replied to mshooha's topic in Emergency

    Have to say I love starting IV's too. I get such a sense of satisfaction when I feel that little pop and see the flash; I even like advancing the cath off the needle. Ever been caught checking out...

  14. Md's Against Crna's?

    Dayray replied to LLL123's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Physicians aren't necessarily against advanced practice nursing but they do want to keep nurses "in their place". Most MD's see nurses as below them in education, practice, skill and status. The fact...

  16. Do nurses have a role in "educating" physicians in new treatments? Consider the story

    Dayray replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    I strongly agree that Nursing and medicine should have a collaborative relationship. As I become more experienced with health care I have realized that the definition of "collaborative" is (to say the...

    Dayray replied to gwrn99's topic in Emergency

    We give reglan Iv all the time for nuasea. You can mix it in a 50 cc bag and infuses it slowly. the bad effects are much dininshed by giving it slowly. I usualy draw up 10mg/1cc in a 3 cc syringe and...

  18. CNM vs WHNP

    Dayray replied to Rachel921's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    If you want to deliver babies and prenatal care then you want to be a CNM. WHNP provide well women exams and GYN reated outpatient services. CNM's can also do most of those things and can deliver...

    Dayray replied to mshooha's topic in Emergency

  21. Ice to reduce a swollen ant lip?

    Dayray replied to scnnmom's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I read that book too. I'm not sure if it would work I mean wouldn't it just melt? The reason I didn't look further into the idea is because to me a swollen ant lip means the baby isn't descending....

  23. Why a C-Section?

    Dayray replied to edj02's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yeah, pain is subjective, that’s kind of, my whole point of view. Patients are making choices in regards to pain meds and now elective C/S based on their subjective concepts of pain. I don't frown...

  24. Deep suctioning babies after delivery

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

    We dont have NNP's in attendance at all our deliveries. Most of the time we dont even have a second nurse. We call a second nurse or the NNP depending on what we are expecting. To get the Neo to come...

  25. Why a C-Section?

    Dayray replied to edj02's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Wow this has really heated up. As I said before I can't make such a broad statement as to say that elective C/S are right or wrong. I do however see the fact that people want elective C/S as a symptom...
