    Iv toradol is in our standing post op csection orders q 6 hours prn.....Often works better than the morphine and even after dura morph spinals, some patients have it ordered q 6 hours for 24 hours....

  2. What do Nurses Actually Do !!!!!

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

    There isn't much we DON'T do....Way too long a list....Wouldn't know where to begin other than to say we endear ourselves, our knowledge, our love, our laughter, our skills, our tears, our hugs, our...

  3. Mandatory continuing education

    mother/babyRN replied to deermedicine's topic in New York Nursing

    I think the 15 which are required in Mass, are enough...We usually far surpass that but with a big busy family anything to the degree of 45 just isn't feasible EVERY time, for me, and quite frankly,...

  4. For all of you night nurses

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

    Yep, and then there is that thing where you have a task in mind, go around the corner and then promptly forget whatever it was that you set out to

  5. Any experiences with Down's syndrome?

    mother/babyRN replied to APinkston's topic in Pediatric

    In my experience from babies to adults they are beautiful, sweet , bright and loving people.....Some of my most rewarding and memorable patients.....Never have less than all their love to

  6. downs syndrome

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

    I know you want to believe there is a way to tell other than what has been mentioned, but there is not short of an amnio or any of the other options..YOU have to try to relax or your daughter will...

  7. I think I am going to crack up...

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

    You all are so wonderful! I really can't change jobs...Starting over will just drive me over the edge..Probably there is even some grief at the fact that most of the people I have worked with have to...

  8. I think I am going to crack up...

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

    Thankyou so much..I have an appointment with a psychologist to discuss all the stressors that have lately assailed me.....You know how nurses don't want to be weak and all that...But, as difficult as...

  9. How Has "Reality TV" (A Baby Story, etc) Affected Your Work?

    mother/babyRN replied to BabyRN2Be's topic in Ob/Gyn

    People actually think it's like that, with doctors around, not too many nurses, not much pain and nothing else going on except their labor....It kind of amuses me

  10. my daughters blood test proved positive for downs syndrome

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

    Don't specifically worry if the AFP is elevated...There are so many benign reasons for that...As others have posted.....I refused to have that lab work done since as an older mom it probably would...

  11. Kind of uncomfortable posting this, so NO DUDES :)

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

  12. have you had an abortion?

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

    I too have left more than one "discussion" group when actual discussions were deemed

  13. have you had an abortion?

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

    I think if the original post had been about opposing or conflicting views on abortion, it would certainly be prudent to discuss the issue. This was a personl thing and therefore really not the forum...

  14. Has anyone had a mom laboring using Hypnobirthing?

    mother/babyRN replied to becca.utns's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Several times with only one true success...However, in the earlier stages it really seemed to help all the patients

  15. We had an OB patient die today

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

    I am so sorry but bully for you for taking control of the situation. As for the person who wants the resident reported, as a former cardiac nurse I have to tell you that I disagree unless it continues...

  16. have you had an abortion?

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

    I should mention that years later, when I met my husband, we were told we were both infertile.....Somehow though, we did manage to have three little ones.....I recall the doc I saw to confirm my...

  17. have you had an abortion?

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

    It is never an easy decision whatever your personal belief. I had to consider it years ago and would vacilate from one point of view to the other minute by minute. I actually had the appointment made...

  18. The Mothers' Rule Book.......

    mother/babyRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Many years ago when my now 21 year old college student son was 4 or 5, he questioned some parental ruling I made. Half in jest and half in exasperation I mentioned that there was a special Mothers'...

  19. Is this common?

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

    I have to say that when I had the urge to push it wasn't so much painful and certainly NOT excruciating ( and I was on pitocin with no epidural), but definitely intense...To let someone know how it is...

  20. Fact or Fiction? Father beats up RN w/o badge

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

    True or not if the guy was a nurse designated to be on the unit, someone should have recognized him as familiar..Sounds fishy to me

  21. List of common OB drugs PLEASE!!

    mother/babyRN replied to kwagner_51's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That was cute! We use caffeine drips on patients with spinal headaches before the blood patch or on those patients who elect not to have a blood patch done to alleviate the pain. If lying down,...

  22. Why is it MEN seem to get along better in this field than WOMEN??!!!

    mother/babyRN replied to 1BlessedRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't know where you are from Stitchie, but I just don't see the problems you outline...Men don't get along better than women....Or maybe I just seem to get along with everyone and don't notice what...

  23. Having trouble getting pregnant...getting worried....

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

    When you aren't so focused on it, it will happen...BELIEVE ME, my "infertile" husband and "infertile" self had three children in three years once we stopped thinking about

  24. List of common OB drugs PLEASE!!

    mother/babyRN replied to kwagner_51's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Oh yes, get a tylenol order for the headache that happens invariably with procardia...Also, caffeine drips and hone up on your insulin for the diabetic population..Lately everyone on post partum is...

  25. List of common OB drugs PLEASE!!

    mother/babyRN replied to kwagner_51's topic in Ob/Gyn
