1. Designated delivery team

   seemerun replied to kejRN88's topic in Ob/Gyn

   It's hard to say without getting a feel for how the unit as a whole runs but that seems like overkill to me too. Here, whoever has been laboring with the patient stays as the mom nurse. Our team lead...

2. C-sections! When to call em?!

   seemerun replied to seemerun's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I don't know what a STAN monitor is? Sorry,still relatively new to this specialty. :-) There always what ifs. I mean we have crashed a patient before and then had 9/9 APGARS, but obviously that's a...

3. C-sections! When to call em?!

   seemerun posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

   Before I started in Labor and Delivery I pictured myself being the nurse who was an advocate for natural labors and not rushing to c/s. But reality is...different. Maybe my view is tainted by my work...

4. Do you always keep emergency meds on hand for deliveries?

   seemerun replied to perfexion's topic in Ob/Gyn

   We always keep at the bedside throughout the labor and delivery - 800mcg cytotec, 500cc of pitocin, terbutaline and

5. Do you find the flip-flopping of nights easier or harder in the summer?

   seemerun posted a topic in General Nursing

   I have been on nights almost 2 years. Started on 8's and changed to 12's in January. It seems so much easier on 12's - I am more tied when I come home so i get to sleep sooner and the fewer days at...

6. Random question: Would you wear a $300 watch to work

   seemerun replied to TXRN44's topic in General Nursing

   I definitely would not. A) I hate watches. I mean I like the way they look but I don't like the way they feel and I never remember to look at them anyway. I just use the clocks in the room - they show...

7. Aren't You just Incredibly Proud?

   seemerun replied to Carpediem1012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I have been a nurse for 10 years and I can say that I am proud! I mean it is definitely "just a job" many days. I get tired of the BS and tired of being tired. But I worked really hard to get here, I...

8. How do you know if you suck? ;-)

   seemerun replied to seemerun's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Thank you all! Every birth is different and a slightly new experience. But I feel a lot better about things. Sorry L&DRegisteredNurse! That was my morning yesterday too.

   seemerun replied to seemerun's topic in Ob/Gyn

11. How do you know if you are cut out for L&D?

    seemerun replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think you can hate med-surg and yet do really well in L&D. However, in my experience you will need recent hospital experience before being considered for any L&D position. I applied for what...

12. What is so special about working in postpartum???

    seemerun replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Ob/Gyn

    So glad you got on! I was going to pipe in and say there's really nothing special about PP. Except for the fact that it is low turnover so not as many openings. Plus, it's a fairly "desireable" unit...

13. How does your hospital handle twins?

    seemerun replied to seemerun's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I had my first twins experience and I have to say I didn't like it much. Once A was born everybody immediately were all over mom. Hands up inside feeling for presentation (mind you no epidural)...

14. How does your hospital handle twins?

    seemerun posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    It seems they are most often planned sections. But if A) is head down they can attempt lady partslly. They are required to push in the OR to expedite a c-section for baby B if they don't come head...
