    nurse_maya28 replied to nurse_maya28's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Its actually not what its from - it's just not advisable for anyone with a history of GBS or similar conditions ( like MS) to have spinal narcotics. Mine actually came from the TDap vaccine after my...

    nurse_maya28 replied to nurse_maya28's topic in Ob/Gyn

  8. my birth plan - nurse friendly?

    nurse_maya28 replied to nurse_maya28's topic in Ob/Gyn

    nurse_maya28 replied to lovelylady3's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yes I'm sure it's very likely that everyone else was the problem at her job and that she was the perfect nurse and everyone else was jealous... yes I bet that's what happened. Just because I was more...

  11. my birth plan - nurse friendly?

    nurse_maya28 replied to nurse_maya28's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Did you even read it? I do have a doula hired and I stated that my husband and the doula will be talking me down if needed, but that i wished for the staff to be aware of my strong feelings. They...

  12. What can I expect in OB?

    nurse_maya28 replied to NiecyWhitRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    you could go on and get a midwife certification, but I would suggest at least 5 years in L&D first. NRP certification, ACLS certification and lactation certifications are all helpful. Also doula...

  13. New grad feeling left out

    nurse_maya28 replied to lovelylady3's topic in First Year After Licensure

    hmmm you seem very defensive and you seem to have a very entitled attitude for a rather new nurse. As others have said you need to take a good long look at yourself first, because if you think that...

  14. The most ridiculous birth plans you've had the pleasure of reading

    nurse_maya28 replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My personal favorites are the ones that come in with detailed birth plans that they haven't even shown to the provider, let alone discussed any of their desires. The plop this novel down in front of...

  16. Survey about Cytotec

    nurse_maya28 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm just doing some research on cytotec placement/ inductions. Our Facility is pushing for nurses to place cytotec. We are a small rural hospital (300-400 births a year). We just got a new OB/Gyn...

    nurse_maya28 replied to nurse_maya28's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I was told by our pharmacy that even through gloves (they are slighty porus - hence why one should wash their hands after cares even when using gloves) are used the negative effects can still be...

    nurse_maya28 replied to mamafeliz's topic in Ob/Gyn
