    PinkNBlue replied to PinkNBlue's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Right, I've got the COPD dx and the teaching r/t to that. Unfortunately we don't get any other info about what happened with the fx... we have to make a presentation based on the info the instructor...

    Considering ttc while in school - advice pls

    PinkNBlue replied to Anon2011's topic in General Students

    Honestly? I'd ttc so that you're due a month after you graduate. That month of graduation is going to be hectic plus there's the NCLEX and studying for that so if you have a choice, I'd do it so that...

    IV Dosage Calculations... HELP!

    PinkNBlue replied to CrazierThanYou's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    IV calcs always threw me until one day it just 'clicked'. Hopefully this will help a bit! You're right on number one with the ml/hr answer. Those are pretty simple with dividing the total volume with...

    PinkNBlue replied to amybear's topic in General Students

    Reconstitution calculation problem

    PinkNBlue replied to Nativewoman's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Reconstitutions can be tricky... what you want to look for in the problem is the word 'yield'. That is what your total drug is going to be. So, in the above question, you have desired amount of 726mg....

    NST for RNs only?

    PinkNBlue posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am a tech on a postpartum floor. We usually have a few antepartum patients that need NST's q shift. Majority of our nurses are not certified to do this so we end up calling an L&D nurse to do...

    Going to OB right after nursing school?

    PinkNBlue posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    My main reason for wanting to become a nurse (I am a pre-nursing student and a tech in Mother/Baby) is OB/Mother Baby. I do not want to work on a Med/Surg unit and feel I would be miserable on a floor...

    Going to OB right after nursing school?

    PinkNBlue replied to PinkNBlue's topic in Ob/Gyn

    See that's exactly how I think I'll be. I know I can't judge quite yet as I am A) not a nurse yet and B) don't have full experience on the floor. But having floated to those floors, it IS the...

    Do birth plans grate on your nerves?

    PinkNBlue replied to cradlecrewer's topic in Ob/Gyn

    In a perfect world, if people come to this post and passionately disagree, they would say 'I understand your point and your frustrations. On the contrary, I like birth plans because XYZ' rather than...

    Do birth plans grate on your nerves?

    PinkNBlue replied to cradlecrewer's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I work in a hospital so for my hospital, yes, it is a new thing.

    Do birth plans grate on your nerves?

    PinkNBlue replied to cradlecrewer's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We had a patient recently who did not want her baby to be bathed while in the hospital... at all. Bleh! Apparently it's a new 'thing' now. Gross. Some birth plans are a pain, others are just their...

    assessment sheet or report sheet

    PinkNBlue replied to momx4's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That's a cool report sheet! I like it. I usually end up writing the things in the baby note's part (like baby's blood type/coombs pos or neg, the 24 h bili result etc) so to just have a spot for it is...

    NST for RNs only?

    PinkNBlue replied to PinkNBlue's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am a CNA but instead of being called that, we are called techs. I kind of thought the same thing about the nurse only doing it but just wanted to check. Thanks so much

    assessment sheet or report sheet

    PinkNBlue replied to momx4's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I posted this in another post similar to this. I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for but maybe it'll give you ideas. :) Our report sheet is made in excel. It is on a long horizontal sheet of...

    Postpartum Or Mother Baby Nurses

    Any Mother/Baby Nurses? If so, do you only deal with postpartum?

    PinkNBlue replied to Renee4christ's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm only in postpartum. NICU actually admits the new babies (bathes them and does their first initial assessment) but then they'll transfer the baby when the baby is stable. That will soon change and...

    need to find my niche

    PinkNBlue replied to IngyRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think what probably happened is your instructor told you what everyone has been telling me, after I graduate. "You will lose all of your nursing skills if you go to an OB floor after graduation". I...
