    Mom suing nurse after suffocation accident

    klone replied to MunoRN's topic in Nursing News

    Honestly, I don't think there is more to the story. I think it's exactly how it happened - nurse brought baby in to nurse, mom fell asleep because of narcotics and Ambien, and suffocated her baby....

    Mom suing nurse after suffocation accident

    klone replied to MunoRN's topic in Nursing News

    I am the manager of an OB department in Oregon. I'm wondering what effect this litigation will have on our practices. Are we going to require moms to get up out of bed and sit in a chair every time...

    klone replied to Ruadh's topic in General Nursing

    Any injection that is appropriate for the dorso is also appropriate for ventro. I ONLY give ventro unless the patient absolutely insists. For the reasons outlined above (less risk of hitting nerve and...

    klone replied to Schneid1's topic in General Nursing

    As far as for-profit schools go, DSoN is not bad, and hireability should not be an issue. But it is EXTREMELY

    OB/GYN Outpatient RN in CA

    klone replied to mrm805's topic in General Nursing

    The best bet would be to look at large networks, such as Kaiser. They will typically hire RNs in clinic settings, at least to work in a charge nurse capacity over the MAs. If you find a large...

    Oncology to OB..how do i get there?

    klone replied to TRD12603's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You may have to relocate to a smaller community that has a nursing shortage. In these communities, hospitals are often desperate for a nurse with any type of experience, and are willing to train to...

    Yeah, it seemed rude, but it wouldn't strike me as something that would sit with me to the level that I would think to post about it here, asking for others' opinions. I would probably think to...

    Doula Training before becoming a nurse?

    klone replied to jjoy's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Doula training is pretty time-intensive, and you must be available for labors at all hours of the day (and a doula might be at a labor for 24+ hours). How will you manage that while in nursing school...

    Are We Still Holding Back Baby's Head?

    klone replied to Kooky Korky's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm sure some nurses have done that, but we don't "still" do it because it's never been a "thing" and it's incredibly dangerous and risky. OB nurses, as a general rule, are taught how to safely...
