  8. Ibuprofen & Percocet together?

    L&DRN03 replied to FemmeRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Both Ibuprofen and percocet are prescribed as prn medications in my unit so neither are given ATC. It would make sense to give one then reassess and see if a second pain med. is needed. No need to...

  13. The skinny on working nights

    L&DRN03 replied to UNC_nurseL&D's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I was born to work nights! I think it's unnatural to wake up at 5am to get ready for work. Yes that 3-5am hour is pretty rough but I deal with it. As far as sleep goes I can sleep anytime! For me...
