  1. Professor Input

    JaneyW posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    I am an MSN student in an on-line program. I have two classes this semester. In one of the classes, the teacher checks in all of the time and always has announcements and hints and little extra info...

  2. Difficulty Swallowing question

    JaneyW replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    Gerd??

  3. smallest gauge for a depo-testadiol?

    JaneyW replied to javanurse2000's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I would think that you should have drawn it up with the 18g and given it with the 22g. An 18g is huge--more for a blood draw or large access for IV--not for an IM injection. We have 1" 18g needles...

  4. birth as transformative experience for fathers

    JaneyW replied to Selke's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Wow! Were you guys at work with me yesterday? We were having some heated discussions about the 'enabling' of birthing too many children that you can't afford. Some of our staff have family members...

  5. Teeny Tiny L&D Units

    JaneyW replied to LizzyL&DRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I believe the ecmo for level 4 is correct. My hospital is a level 3 NICU, but those that need ecmo are sent to one just down the street--I know that Loma Linda can do ecmo so that would make

  6. Hydralazine question

    JaneyW posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Just a question on how you administer hydralazine for pre-ecclamptic/HELLP pts whose BP is getting dangerous. It comes in 20mg/ml vials and you give 5 mg at a time IV. Micromedex doesn't say much...

  7. Hydralazine question

    JaneyW replied to JaneyW's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks- this was my thought as well. I appreciate all the of responses. I feel much more comfortable about it now. I have been doing this about three years, but only the last 9 months in high...

  8. Hydralazine question

    JaneyW replied to JaneyW's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think you misunderstood my original post. The Davis drug book says NOT to dilute it. I am just a little unsure of how people are pushing 0.25ml (5mg of a 20mg/ml solution) accurately. Especially...

  9. Hydralazine question

    JaneyW replied to JaneyW's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks for the replies. I know why and the doses--was mostly interested in the actually administration and dilution. I like the idea of the 5mg/1cc dilution.

  10. IV push rates

    JaneyW replied to fleasle's topic in General Nursing

    We use Micromedex on-line at my facility. Always look them up and use the reference used by your own facility or P&P from your facility. Make your own card--you will remember the info better if...

  11. Nurse practicing without license?

    JaneyW replied to sensweet's topic in General Nursing

    I'm curious as to what will happen--will the OP please let us know if any action is taken?

  12. Nurse practicing without license?

    JaneyW replied to sensweet's topic in General Nursing

    sensweet- You are right to report it to your instructor immediately--even by phone or pager if you don't meet for class for a while. This is also putting your school on the line as they are sending...

  13. No Doppler in OR - Management NO help!

    JaneyW replied to StatRNNJ97's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I work with high risk moms that often hang out with us for weeks at a time prior to delivering. I have many times rushed one of these moms to the OR in anticipation of a 'crash' section only to have...

  14. How much do you make as an RN in Labor and Delivery where you work?

    JaneyW replied to Janinern84's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Money isn't everything! I recently moved to another facility for less pay because it is safer and there is less stress for me. This has paid off in other ways. I work per diem in Southern...

  15. early decels during latent phase-advice needed

    JaneyW replied to newnurse.rs's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I hate this situation and have dealt with it more than I would like--why is it always on night shift? Were they true earlies or variables? Did it turn out to be a nuchal cord? I hate those nuchal...

  16. ICU nurse to OB/GYN nursing???

    JaneyW replied to Krista77's topic in Ob/Gyn

    GO FOR IT!! After ICU, L&D will be almost easy for you. You have a new vocabulary to learn and, well, I guess you have a lot to learn! But the main thing you already have is vigilance and a...

  17. How do you find HH nursing for OB patients?

    JaneyW replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    She could just work in L&D! I know a lot of NPs and CNMs who still do some shifts on the floor. It is tricky to not overstep your scope while working as an RN, but at least she would be doing...

  18. ADN in L&D

    JaneyW replied to militaryspouse98's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Oh, other nurses tell me wll the time that they couldn't do what I do in L&D. Well, I could NEVER be on a unit with lots of phlegm and chest tubes. I also have little interest in the burn arena....

  19. Soy vs. Cow's Milk-Based Formula

    JaneyW replied to daisybaby's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Maria- The healthiest of my three was also the one that had the most Soy. He is also the best student and very much a rule-follower. But I think genetics probably had more to do with that. I am a...

  20. futher education

    JaneyW replied to ellie123's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I am enrolled at Cal State Dominguez Hills in their on-line program and have been very impressed so far. Most instructors are PhDs and it is well run and very organized. I already have a BA (psych)...

  21. Soy vs. Cow's Milk-Based Formula

    JaneyW replied to daisybaby's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Our LC at my last hospital posted a similarly inflammatory article stating that babies fed soy formula are more apt to be criminals and sociopaths. No lie! It was from a man who has 'done extensive...

  22. take my survey for stats class - PLEASE!

  23. OB census... is everyone slow right now?

    JaneyW replied to jrring1019's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Our regular deliveries are a bit slow, but we are jammed full of maternal transports and long-term antepartums. We don't really have enough extreme weather here in SoCal to think in terms of winter....

  24. wondering about antihypertensives

    JaneyW replied to tampabaylpn2rn's topic in General Nursing

    I would say the correct answer is

  25. is this lact consultant ethical?

    JaneyW replied to moz's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This is wrong on many levels. What happens to the mom who gives birth to the preemie or sick baby who gets sent to NICU--or even another hospital at 7pm??? As a lactation consultant, she should know...
