  2. Miscarriages

    Burnt Out replied to Nurse Hatchett's topic in Ob/Gyn

    After my son died, I found a lot of support at http://www.missfoundation.org. Another good site is http://www.nationalshareoffice.com. INCIID is good too (the site Brandy posted). This is a list of...

  3. birth control & pregnancy

    Burnt Out replied to crazylilkelly's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yep, it is possible. Happened to a co-worker: she stopped her pills right at the beginning of her cycle (during the placebo week) and got pregnant with TWINS! :smiley_aa Good

  4. Blood administration policy

    Burnt Out replied to nickola's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Our policy states a 20 guage or less, but there is an exception clause for elderly and peds patients. We will look and try to insert a 20 guage, but we have used a 22 many times without

  5. Hyperemesis Help Me!

    Burnt Out replied to Phenomenon's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Oh, big ((((hugs)))). I had HG with both of my pregnancies, so I can understand how sick you feel. If it hadn't been for Phenergan, Zofran and Unisom/B6, I wouldn't have been able to drink or eat...

  8. 17 week gestation

    Burnt Out replied to Stephanie in FL's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm so sorry about your friends' loss. Losing a child at any age is devastating. I don't have much more to add. I do know that in Alabama, the parents have the right to bury their baby, no matter...

  9. ICU pts on the floor

    Burnt Out replied to maythen's topic in General Nursing

    But would this not be abandonment if you have received report on part or all of your patients? I know if you have been off from work for a few days and have no clue to what kind of patients you are...

  10. Meds. off floor taste YUMMY!

    Burnt Out replied to NurCrystal22's topic in General Nursing

    If I drop a pill or so, I ALWAYS go get another one. I can't even think of taking one that has been on the hospital floor-yuck!

  11. O2 therapy - need Dr's order?

    Burnt Out replied to moshimoshi's topic in General Nursing

    In an airway emergency, we can administer o2 and then get an order for it. O2 at 2 L BNC is pretty much standard even with your severe end stage COPD

  14. Endometriosis sucks

    Burnt Out replied to Sugarbelle's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have endometriosis too. BCPs don't do much for me. I've had 4 surgeries to have the endo lasered off-this brought relief for about 2 cycles. I took Lupron for 6 months-it helped, but I got...

  15. Our baby was stillborn... Please help me understand

    Burnt Out replied to nurse_wannabe's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am so sorry about your son. When you are able, talk with your ob/gyn and ask him/her about the placenta and umbilical cord-were they normal, any microscopic blood clots on the placenta (I'm...

  16. Concieving issues

    Burnt Out replied to 2007_RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Has your friend tried charting her cycles? I agree with Stitchie: if she has any one sided abdominal/pelvic pain, she may be ovulating. Another way to check is to take your temp every morning...

    Burnt Out replied to lifeLONGstudent's topic in Ob/Gyn

  19. Infertility Evaluation Advice

    Burnt Out replied to ConkyTonker's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think now would be a good time to see your ob/gyn for an appointment. You need to have a work-up done-bloodwork, possible HSG (to make sure there are no structural abnormalities in your uterus...

  20. trying to get pregnant

    Burnt Out replied to abparks's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If I remember right, healthy normal sperm have heads shaped like the upper part of a bullet. Don't quote me on that. :uhoh21: I agree with the pp about a semen analyisis for your hubby. Usually it...

  21. pregnancy after a c-section?

    Burnt Out replied to Schmoo1022's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My daughter is a NICU graduate and when she was discharged, we were told that as long as our water was "city" water and not well water, we could use the H2O straight from the tap-we didn't have to...

    Burnt Out replied to BeesAngel's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I have a memorial website for my son, Blake, that died almost 3 years ago. I have 2 pages with poems on it. I am including the link if you would like to read the poems I have on there: if you like,...

  24. Gift suggestions for macho guy in hospital

    Burnt Out replied to Blackcat99's topic in General Nursing

    I would think a goodie basket with some snacks and fruit (as long as his diet allows goodies like chocolate and stuff). If he likes to read, maybe a new bestseller? I've always gotten magazines...

  25. Can you have sleep apnea and not be aware of it

    Burnt Out replied to warrior woman's topic in General Nursing

    Yes you can. I've had a sleep study done because I am overweight and have HTN, so my pulmonologist wanted me to have it done to see if that is why my BP is difficult to control at times. I never did...
