thks, I am have spoke with and participate in such support and groups. I am feeling much better. but still think of her often. she and her family are terrific, they are handling it well. her and her husband came to visit me she wanted to show me how well she is doing and thank me for what i did. it help for me to hear that she believed god had arranged it so i would be the one to care for her at the most critical point of the whole thing. that helped me the most of all. she plans on getting pregnant again sometime. this time i promised her no matter what she can call me and i will be there this time:) thanks again for the support and advice. i think i will be fine over time:)

you should call your doc ASAP. it may be nothing but it is best to check it out. congradulations on your new baby:)

thanks heather:) that is what i am tryin g to do.just not very easy for me to forget this

had patient complaint of increase lady partsl discharge, discribed it as kinda thick and white.says it only happens after intercourse ( s*x) with her boyfriend:) can anyone tell me what that could be:)

closed,thick,firm,posterior,and sky high = bishop score 0 and they would get it:) myself I am comfortable with cytotec. but still believe we should only induce for medical necessity not social inductions:)

you should be very very afraid. no way should you be left alone like that! hope you never find out why,things can go bad very fast and one nurse with 3 patients is just down right dangerous and crazy:)

but we have to breath your second hand smoke which is worse than your filtered smoke! hard to find a smoke free restraunt or bar, not to mention just trying to walk through the smoke from people at the entrances to hospitals as well as other public establishments. SO YOU SEE YES YOUR SMOKING DOES AFFECT MY HEALTH. one more thing look at the cost to provide health care to smokers it costs MORE. which drives up insurance and health care costs for everyone.AND THAT IS A PROVEN FACT!

congradulations on your test:) 75 questions is goodthing. only 2 ways to get 75 questions one is to do really well the other is to do so bad you had no chance. I am sure that is very unlikely:)

I was wondering if anyone had any helpful advice with dealing with loss of a patient. I recently had a patient that i was her nurses a while back for first delivery. she was going to be induced and asked me if i would come in and had told her no i could not related to my schedule ,she understood. well to make a long story short her labor went horribly wrong. she ended up in ICU almost died and the baby did not make it. I came in and took care of her in the ICU. a while has passed since mom is recovered by what i call is a miracle. but I still have trouble sleeping at times and get awakened from sleep in a cold sweat. I can still see here looking up at me intubated as i worked furiously to care for her. it seems to be getting better with time.just wondering if anyone had some input on the matter thanks:)

it is a great way to assess adequacy of labor and monitorinr for hyperstim. if we have a patient that is not progressing welll despite what appears to be adequate labor. we may place IUPC and do MVUs to your suprise a lot of the time you will find what appeared to be and adequate labor pattern actuallly was not.:)

that is your right as a patient and your choice. to me it is important that each person has the opportunity to have the birth of their choice if possible. that includes who attends your birth. some prefer males some prefer females others it don't matter. in my opinion it really should not matter what gender race or orientation is. but especially during labor and birth the patients comfort is of utmost importence to me. so i always honor their wishes:) from my experience I have been overwhelmed by the number of patients that request and compliment me.I thank god for that blessing everyday.

it takes determination and work but it can be done. it consists mostly of lots of pumping and or nursing. some herbs have been found helpful as well as reglan. hope that helps:)

that is a concern but few realize that the most sued gender is in ob in a recent study is female. so it only makes sense if one is worried about lawsuits that they require females as well as males to use escourts during exams:)

man I been away fro months and come back to this topic again.It feels like the movie ground hog day:) I am a male L&D rn and my patients really like me:) when i have more time i would be glad to share experiences with anyone interested. it is good to be back here and see some of the old timers still here:)

well the biggest reasons are cultural and that dads want their sons to look like them.often they do little research it seems before forming an opinion.
