    I'm IN!!!! WOOOHOOOO!!! I've been searching for flights that will arrive before the prompt 2:30pm departing time of the shuttle to Hyden on Dec 1st. Looks like I'll need to leave from Harrisburg...

  2. "Caught" my first baby!!

    RNLaborNurse4U replied to Calzonan RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You hit the call bell, and say "she's delivering" and help comes to do the rest, while you have your gloves on, ready to catch. You really don't need anything other than gloves and a clean blanket to...

  10. Interview for Frontier tomorrow!

    RNLaborNurse4U replied to Smark35's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    You'll do great! I just had my phone interview (also for the Dec admission class) last Thursday, and it went very well. She asked me the typical questions - why do I want to be a midwife, what type...

  13. Rescheduled Frontier Interview

    RNLaborNurse4U replied to RNLaborNurse4U's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Thank you Selke. I am applying for the PT program, knowing that FT and working (with a family) would be WAYYYY too much for me to try to handle. If it was just me at home, I could probably do FT, but...

  14. Is it time?

    RNLaborNurse4U replied to kalley's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    RNLaborNurse4U posted a topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    For those who have had their phone interview with Frontier, any words of advice on how to prepare? I tend to be more articulate in my written word, versus my spoken word, though I can talk-talk-talk!...

  18. documentation

    RNLaborNurse4U replied to LittleLisaLawrence's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You're writing way too much, I think. Are you using computerized charting at all, or is this all paper charting? We use computerized charting (QS system), and many things we can just click on the...

  21. How far does everyone commute to work?

    RNLaborNurse4U replied to Sandwitch883RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I drive about 25-26 miles each way to and from work. I doubt I would work any further from a hospital then this. It takes me about 20-30 minutes to drive to work, depending on traffic. I also have...

  24. I have 2 IV Pitocin Problems I need help with...

    RNLaborNurse4U replied to Murgy's topic in General Nursing

    I can see problems with this in real practice: different admixtures. A big no-no! Safety issue! We do a standard 20 units pitocin in 1000 cc LR. That mixes to 1 mu/min equals 3 cc/hr on the pump....

  25. C-Sections on the rise.

    RNLaborNurse4U replied to Halinja's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Last month, our scheduled c/s rate was 14%. Add to that, our unscheduled c/s rate of 18%, you get a total of 32% c/s versus 68% lady partsl deliveries for the month. We don't have a breakdown of what...
