IMHO, home delivery is for pizza.

The only time I use spines are with really obese pt's where soft tissue make it difficult. I think this is something that comes with experience. Maybe ask your co-workers if you can do SVE's for them so that you will get more experience. That's what I did some 20 years ago:wink2:. Good luck.

L&Doldtimer, you said a mouthful!!!

Another nurses' pt noted, after a non-epidural delivery, that "my monkey (lady partsl area) ain't never hurt like that!!!" Pt in active labor having variable decels after AROM and FSE placement , pt's SO stated "open your legs and let the baby breathe!!!" Pt comes in for induction and stated she's "here to be castrated." Antepartal pt notes that she has been doing her "fecal movement counts." And, of course, the cocaine addict who asks if an epidural will "hurt my baby.":chuckle

I saw thick urine YEARS ago and was told that it was due to a breakdown of fat/kidneys that are going bad. Haven't seen this since.

I was hired for acute dialysis ~ 1 month ago and have absolutely no experience in dialysis. I am currently orienting in chronics and really like it. I am not ready to be 'on my own' just yet and still have a couple months of orientation left. If you're interested in dialysis (acutes), I say go for it!!!

Okay, It's only been 3 days since I started dialysis training. I've worked in a high-risk L&D dept for over 20 years. I really like this!!! The unit was VERY busy today, but, I'm used to extreme busy units (the L&D dept I worked for did over 4500 deliveries/year). Is it too soon for me to really like dialysis? I know I need to give it more time, but THIS IS JUST GREAT!!!..........(so far):yelclap:
