    When will this stop?

    LOL Thanks

    How do you encourage rooming in.

    PinkNBlue replied to gallicxy's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I usually educate the mother; as their nurse you kind of have an idea of their plan. I never want to sway them either way. I just want to give them the facts and let them make their own informed...

    Pts paying for night nursery care??

    PinkNBlue replied to mombabyRN96's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Personally I think it's ridiculous. The parents are making an informed choice when sending their baby to the nursery. It's not our place to deny them if they so choose to take advantage of this. Is...

    New Grad hoping to start out in Women's health field

    PinkNBlue replied to danceluver's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm a Mother Baby new grad nurse and I absolutely love it. I've worked there for years as a tech but am finally at my dream. People still ask me if I chose this or just am working there because it's a...

    New nurse here. How do I overcome a suspension from work?

    PinkNBlue replied to BradenRN30's topic in Nursing Career

    I am so sorry you're going through this.

    Just curious, What do they teach in Nursing School these days?

    PinkNBlue replied to AMN74's topic in General Nursing

    The generalization that new nurses have an overconfident, cocky attitude and do not exhibit respect is a bit off the mark as well. I graduated in December and am currently in orientation. I was...

    Compression stockings....

    PinkNBlue posted a topic in General Nursing

    Anyone have a good brand they recommend? I'm a new nurse and my legs have been achy. I'm on orientation 5 days a week and on my feet for most of the day (as are most of us) so I'm sure that has a...

    Would you feel ok as a patient at your own hospital?

    PinkNBlue replied to SNB1014's topic in General Nursing

    I used to think I wouldn't want to but now after working there for a number of years, I'd be totally ok with it. I work in OB so you see one lady parts, you see 'em all (unless you've got something...

    How would you feel?

    PinkNBlue replied to stashiaj's topic in General Nursing

    Ugh I'm sorry. I hope that the reason you didn't get the job means there's something bigger and better for you coming. Hang in there

    How would you feel?

    Socializing after work in your scrubs

    PinkNBlue replied to klone's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    AMEN. Amen!! I've gone out after my 3-11p shift in scrubs with friends and I don't care what other people think of me, in my scrubs, a second thought. I won't touch you, don't worry. I don't have time...

    jobs while in nursing school

    PinkNBlue replied to jfn820's topic in General Students

    Around here, the only people that have jobs after graduating in December are those that worked in a hospital (and only a few). So I recommend most definitely getting a job as a CNA in a hospital (and...

    Finally off orientation

    PinkNBlue replied to belle005's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree with melmarie... I'm still on orientation and get nervous... but you have to remember, you're never by yourself. If you're unsure of something, ask. If you're 99% sure but 1% not? Ask. Change...

    nursing policy on handling infant that is not bathed

    PinkNBlue replied to kms6417's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Really? That is interesting... It's part of our teaching to make sure mom and dad know not to submerge baby in an infant tub until the cord has fallen off. Crazy how different things

    In need of some encouragement before I give up!

    PinkNBlue replied to taylorxteddy's topic in General Students

    That's wonderful for you! It's not the practice of nursing that would cause them to not do nursing, it was the process of becoming one. I'm aware not everyone who has 30+ yrs experience feel this...

    In need of some encouragement before I give up!

    PinkNBlue replied to taylorxteddy's topic in General Students

    What you're describing is what everyone in nursing school experiences. No sleep, always crabby, no fun, already reading, always studying, etc. To be blunt, it sucks. I didn't go away for school either...

    To call or not to call

    PinkNBlue replied to OKNurse2be's topic in Ob/Gyn

    nursing policy on handling infant that is not bathed

    PinkNBlue replied to kms6417's topic in Ob/Gyn

    A tub bath submerging the baby to the shoulders? What about the umbilical cord? When I bathe the babies after they come from the delivery room, I teach the fathers while I'm bathing and reiterate no...

    Are enemas making a comeback?

    PinkNBlue replied to caregiver1977's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Just to reiterate the obvious but it is an option just like any procedure in a hospital; if someone doesn't want an enema, they don't have to have one so tell your friend that even if the hospital...
