  1. advanced maternal age

    mother/babyRN replied to Liann's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I surely wouldn't mind, though this old girl is really getting tired. I think it would be neat, however, 6 weeks after the birth of our 5 year old ( we also have a 20 year old, an almost 4 year old...

  2. advanced maternal age

    mother/babyRN replied to Liann's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Possibly...However, last time I was, two years ago, I was convinced I had an ulcer......Will let you know.....Course, I may be posting a reply from a CCU, where my husband will most likely be an inpt...

  3. pit after delivery

    mother/babyRN replied to elleRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We do 10 to 20 units per 1000 cc post delivery, although we have a new doc who swears that he was taught you can put as much as 100 units of pit in a bag( none of us has ever had to deal with telling...

    mother/babyRN replied to Liann's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Well, I am

  5. Undecided whether to become a letter Carrier or R.N?

    mother/babyRN replied to Lisa24's topic in General Nursing

    My dad was a career postal worker, as are two of my brothers..They work with several nurses who traded in nursing for the post office and who say they will never go back. Not an easy test to work at...

  6. Can you be pro-life and an OB/GYN nurse at the same time?

    mother/babyRN replied to KarenAR's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Refusing to care for a pt to me, is akin to pt abandonment. I would prefer not to take care of some people but that wouldn't make me a great nurse. It would make me a judgemental

  7. Can you be pro-life and an OB/GYN nurse at the same time?

    mother/babyRN replied to KarenAR's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Of course...Being pro choice doesn't mean you aren't pro life. I am not a drug user. I don't agree with using drugs , however, I am not going to change my mode of care for people who do elect to do...

  8. What Is Your Most Gross, Yucky, Disgusting Nursing Horror Story?

    mother/babyRN replied to yazisizit's topic in Nursing Humor

    This isn't half as disgusting as some of the situations I have read here, but since it happened when I was at the wrong end of a laboring woman ( if you're the nurse, that is), I have to say it was...

  9. Placenta previa - on bedrest & depressed

    mother/babyRN replied to louloubell1's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Well, at least he is honest.....Thats a GOOD

  10. How many babies are nameless after birth?

    mother/babyRN replied to TeresaRN2b's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Not too many, though I recall with the birth of my first son, they wanted him named within two days, period....Were not releasing me until I coughed up the name, which fortunately, I had already...

  11. Placenta previa - on bedrest & depressed

    mother/babyRN replied to louloubell1's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I used to love those scheduled doc visits too, even when it meant getting betamethasone, JUST to get off the darn couch and out of the house! By the way, dirty limericks are cool! Here is a silly one...

  12. Placenta previa - on bedrest & depressed

    mother/babyRN replied to louloubell1's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Any of you brave interested souls, feel free to PM me with your individual accounts of what is going on and I will be happy to write somethng for you. Anyone else, just let me know...I won't be hurt...

  13. Placenta previa - on bedrest & depressed

    mother/babyRN replied to louloubell1's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I hate to admit this, but as a writer I have to say I wrote a nutty PIH poem, and a few indicating how I felt on bedrest. I wouldn't say any of those little works of art made it to any poet laureate...

  14. Bottles after 3 hours

    mother/babyRN replied to Dayray's topic in Ob/Gyn

    No one should EVER take the choice away! I agree 100 percent. And thanks for clarifying things

  15. Bottles after 3 hours

    mother/babyRN replied to Dayray's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have to say that whatever anyone says, no man has any idea exactly how tired, sore or anything else a breast feeding person gets. And, as both men and women can get MIs, I think that example is...

  16. Placenta previa - on bedrest & depressed

    mother/babyRN replied to louloubell1's topic in Ob/Gyn

    {{{}}} I too had a complete previa...I pretty much willed the darn thing to move, but alas, it would not. Bedrest ( or couch arrest, as I called it), occurred while my husband was out to sea and...

  17. Bottles after 3 hours

    mother/babyRN replied to Dayray's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I stand by my opinion and consider to respect all of yours. Period. We will have to agree to disagree, but the day individualism is the component taken out of the art of nursing (patients, that is),...

  18. Bottles after 3 hours

    mother/babyRN replied to Dayray's topic in Ob/Gyn

    kelly girl...."Nipple confusion" is a misnomer invented by a lactation consultant who perhaps feels much the same you do by your above "WTF" post.....I imagine you haven't been a nurse for a couple of...

  19. Bottles after 3 hours

    mother/babyRN replied to Dayray's topic in Ob/Gyn

    None of my four kids ever had a problem doing both when I had to go to work....AND, we have docs coming from huge facilities to pick up our bad babies who ENCOURAGE these moms to introduce a bottle in...

  20. Bottles after 3 hours

    mother/babyRN replied to Dayray's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My question has always been whether or not infants were breast fed every two or three hours out on the prairie....In any case, I just read a list of the pregnant patient's rights, and one of them...

  21. Bottles after 3 hours

    mother/babyRN replied to Dayray's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Well, it is ONE quick way to determine who has a formula intolerance. And for the cardiac nurse above who thinks maternity nurses are mean, we are TOLD to bring babies out and they are SUPPOSED to...

  22. Bottles after 3 hours

    mother/babyRN replied to Dayray's topic in Ob/Gyn

    These "breast feeding" moms that choose not to room in don't seem to me often, to be serious about it , HOWEVER, if anyone did ANYTHING to my child against my wishes, I would consider a lawsuit very...

  23. Doulas and Scrubs

    mother/babyRN replied to Natalieboo's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Ya know, our house keeping staff wears the same scrubs we do. We hate it. How would YOU like to be confused with every other department who wears hospital scrubs. Our management is not willing to dole...

  24. L&D/NICU hostility!!!!

    mother/babyRN replied to at your cervix's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The day, night shift thing amazes me..AND, they seem to have some pull with the nursing supervisors.. Not too long ago, I was on pp and received a gyn pt who was bleeding lady partslly. All night...

  25. L&D/NICU hostility!!!!

    mother/babyRN replied to at your cervix's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The only areas in our facility that are staffed for the what ifs are the emergency room and ICU....WE are the ones who staff them and it is hilarious to me that they send us everywhere (since...
