    "Make sure to get induced...everyone does it!"

    snazzy-jazzy replied to Penelope_Pitstop's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Actually I am just writting up one of my follow through births. Amazing, no drugs, she birthed her baby standing up beside the bed, she walked around and rocked during the labour so she could move...

    "Make sure to get induced...everyone does it!"

    snazzy-jazzy replied to Penelope_Pitstop's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I would never recommend my friends have an induction, far from it actually. It just begins the cascade of medical

    Help with my assignment please!!

    snazzy-jazzy replied to jessie4's topic in General Students

    I thrive on this stuff, it makes you feel like you are actually becoming a nurse when you learn what to look out for. The fact that you get to come up with ALL POSSIBLE nursing diagnosis's makes it...

    Strange Story

    snazzy-jazzy replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    I am hoping you mean an American version of fanny and not an Australian fanny ... definately would be expecting more from my colleagues if it was the Auzzie one. Either way, unless he had dementia...

    First Psych Clinical

    snazzy-jazzy replied to incurable_optimism's topic in General Nursing

    Good luck, I hated my psych rotation in a major psych hospital but I got through it. However, my father is a psych R.N and has been for 40 years. I think you're either going to love it or like me not...

    snazzy-jazzy replied to Blueberrz's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, just wanted to drop in and say 'I know exactly how you feel' I'm half way through my 4th and final year. It is such a long time to study, I don't feel that same excitement that I did in my first...

    snazzy-jazzy replied to evolvingrn's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I was talking to the mother of my daughters friend on the phone and she is an AIN (Australia's version of CNA). I think it is because I'm almost finished my degree, she went on and on about how when...

    snazzy-jazzy replied to DL-SNUP's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't leave my Midwife (I'm at the end of my midwifery placement and then have 1 more semester in Nursing). Unless she gives me a job to do, so I've been doing a lot of my prac in birth suite and I...

    This "us" vs "them" mentality....

    snazzy-jazzy replied to DL-SNUP's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Just want to say to the OP, oh well at least you tried. Over my last 4 years as a student I have been made to feel like the dirt under someones nursing shoe about 3 times. I have had a lot more great...

    What I do when I ask the instructor a question or discuss something with her and some other genius student interupts with the answer is just completely ignore them and keep looking at the instructor...

    Student RN

    snazzy-jazzy replied to unsurestudent's topic in General Nursing

    I think you should do your nursing for a year and maybe look into going down the NP path. If you are young you have a lot of time ahead of you to make decisions. In Australia we do not have to pass a...

    snazzy-jazzy replied to mindlor's topic in General Nursing

    mindlor sounds like you had a bad day at clinicals. Hope you can get passed it, just don't let it affect you, have your vent but then reflect on it and move on. You are not doing the code browns,...

    Uncomfortable feeling during dilitation check?

    snazzy-jazzy replied to EMJrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't think it makes you a bad nurse at all, I think it makes you a great advocate who provides woman centred care... Good on you. If I was having a baby in the U.S I'd want you as my

    Petition to forgive student loan debt!

    snazzy-jazzy replied to Devie06's topic in General Students

    I do agree that it should not be expected to be free. In Australia the Government subsidises a certain amount of uni courses, I'm lucky that I got one of those places so that already takes my cost...

    when to call for delivery, active management & patience

    snazzy-jazzy replied to ischialspines's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Ok lets talk LAB values and what they mean..

    snazzy-jazzy replied to SublimeRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hb and Iron levels, if these are on the low side then the mum is at a higher risk of having a PPH at a lower blood loss. We usually double check these levels at 36 weeks so we can do something about...

    snazzy-jazzy replied to lookingabove313's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Don't worry you're not alone. I feel like this in my Midwifery placement. I said to my instructor the other day that even if I wanted to work as a Midwife when I and if I graduate I'm not sure I'd...

    What do I do about nurses who think my job is worthless?

    snazzy-jazzy replied to onlyj's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm sure they are grateful for you being there doing that job, if you weren't it would make their shift hell. I would banter back with them... They are run off their feet, you're sitting on a chair...
