    Dayray replied to gitanarose's topic in Ob/Gyn

    There are a ton of good postitioning tricks for turning an OP baby. I won't explain all of them but the general idea is to keep mom moveing and to expand the room baby has to move within the uterus....

  3. Routine Acoustic Stim Use

    Dayray replied to JaneyW's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'll agree with the point made about non-evidence based interventions being a problem in court. I don't worry too much about it in this case however because it won't really come into question if used...

  4. Routine Acoustic Stim Use

    Dayray replied to JaneyW's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have used it in the past but now that I know more about NST's and babies I rarely find need of acustic stem. If the baby is'nt reactive then I'll turn mom and give it time, while I investiaget her...

    Dayray replied to malusport's topic in Men in Nursing

    I thought that maybe I did misinterpret this guy's post, so before I responded I looked at some of his other treads. After reading his other threads, it seems to me that this guy is either a student...

  9. Male Nursing Student wanting to Work OB

    Dayray replied to Annointed_RNStudent's topic in Ob/Gyn

  11. man holding wife still during epidural dies!

    Dayray replied to smk1's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Most guys are afraid to admit they feel quizzy. I always explain that people become faint during an epidural placement and most times the guys insist "oh no I'll be fine". The ones that insist the...

  12. man holding wife still during epidural dies!

    Dayray replied to smk1's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I bet the family will win this one. The important point here is that he was directed to help by the care provider. Even though it could be seen as just allowing him to comfort the patient. To him and...

  14. Expert nurse

    Dayray replied to malusport's topic in Men in Nursing

    My advise is that you go put in an application at one of the grociery stores. They are union jobs and pay simmilerly to nursing. If you want an easy job you don't belong in nursing. If you can't...

    Dayray replied to rastanursern's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This is very true. I actually quit like the old doctor I mentioned and I know he did what he felt was right. I don't happen to agree with the way he does things but I don't think he is mean or...

  17. Episiotomy

    Dayray replied to rastanursern's topic in Ob/Gyn

    There is reasurch that supports apeas and resurch that condems it. so the most logical thing is to call it a tie and not cut them because 50/50 isent a good argument to do something to a persons...

    Dayray replied to GARNPEACH's topic in Ob/Gyn

  21. New Nurse-go thru a Recruiter or Direct Employer??

    Dayray replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing
