    L and D Scrubs

    LDRNMOMMY replied to zahryia's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have a large collection of Urbane scrubs, many solid colors, floral and geometirc prints. I have very few "labor and delivery" type scrubs. I will not be able to wear them at my new job though,...

    Postponing inductions/sections when really busy?

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

    LDRNMOMMY replied to Sandwitch883RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It will be about 10 minutes to work and less than 5 on the way home. I will be working on a military base and you can only leave out of the gate that is closest to our house. I have to drive further...

    Am I the ONLY one??

    LDRNMOMMY replied to Sandwitch883RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It's probably a blessing in disguise that your old nurse manager wouldn't take you back. Like Jenrninmi said, it may take time to find a job that suits you; but it's out there. I'm sure if you had a...

    LDRNMOMMY replied to luv4nursing's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I did not, but it was because I am a military spouse and have Tricare Prime. I lived in a city where there was a large Army hospital. I delivered at the Army hospital, but worked at the civilian...

    LDRNMOMMY replied to Barkow's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Where I used to work in NC you were required to sign up for one 12 hr call shift per schedule period (about 4 weeks). Weekend call was assigned for you and about every 3-4 months it was your turn...

    Question about pumping at work.

    LDRNMOMMY replied to momma/babyrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You would think that. That was not the case where I used to work. My co-workers were the total opposite. I stopped pumping shortly after I returned to work. We were always so busy that sometimes...
