    Since we were talking about birth plans....

    LDRNMOMMY replied to WVUturtle514's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That's too bad. The place I used to work at was a lot like that. Family centered care....NOT! The only reason I would take baby to the warmer right away would be for respiratory distress or if mom...

    Opinions on "Therapeutic Sleep"

    LDRNMOMMY replied to bee1006's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Our docs offer it where I work, the hospital I worked at before they did not. I am a huge fan of it for reasons stated previously. Typically we give Morphine 10 mg & Phenergan 25 mg IM or Ambien....

    LDRNMOMMY replied to rnElaine's topic in Ob/Gyn

    At the hospital I worked at in the states (350-400 deliveries a month), it was about one hour. We typically needed the rooms turned around for another laboring patient. Where I work now

    How long was your L&D orientation?

    LDRNMOMMY replied to SewHeather's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I had pretty much the same and worked in a facility that was about as busy as the one you work in. I didn't feel like it was enough then, and I do not think it's enough now. I was a new grad when I...

    Fayetteville Area students- where did you decide to go to school at?

    LDRNMOMMY replied to dreamon's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Yes, it was 84% in 2005, which was the year I graduated. Honestly, I have no idea if it was study habits. I will say that it was a challenging program where you had to maintain an 80% average to even...

    Fayetteville Area students- where did you decide to go to school at?

    LDRNMOMMY replied to dreamon's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I graduated from Sandhills CC in Pinehurst. It's a much easier commute than Goldsboro or Smithfield. I felt I learned a lot there. There is also Robeson CC in Lumberton. I am not very familiar with...

    LDRNMOMMY replied to Spunkygee's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I used the same strategy. I found that Saunder's and Kaplan had excellent questions. Good luck to you! Did you attend an NCLEX review? Our class attended one and I found it very

    Admission during labor

    LDRNMOMMY replied to short1978's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That's pretty much how it is where I work too. If we are not busy the docs are willing to do Morphine rest. But it really depends on the doc and the

    Hurst Review

    LDRNMOMMY replied to His_girl's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I loved the Hurst review for the same reasons! Our class was divided on it about half loved the review and the other half...not so much. I took the NCLEX-RN and passed the first time. There were a...

    Does your hospital have a policy on no walking after ROM?

    LDRNMOMMY replied to paintedbison's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Where I worked in the U.S. no ambulation with ROM, regardless of station. Where I work now walking when ROM is encouraged so long as cephalic presentation and well applied. They are pretty adamant on...

    Postponing inductions/sections when really busy?

    LDRNMOMMY replied to Montessori Mommy's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We certainly did try, but sometimes the numbers that the Dr's office give us are out of service or cell phones that do not accept incoming calls. Then sometimes the patients will cal the unit 1.5 hrs...
