  2. Can you be pro-life and an OB/GYN nurse at the same time?

    acuteobrn replied to KarenAR's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I guess I stand on the pro-life/pro-choice line. I have my own personal reasons and own personal beliefs and morals. Depends on the situation, as I am not the one standing in their shoes making that...

  10. managing decels?

    acuteobrn replied to BRANDY LPN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree w/ the above, serves no purpose during decels. This is what I was always taught. Will do it however if I am questioning a non-reactive strip. Scarry when you get no responce and the...

  13. Paxil

    acuteobrn replied to RN2B4ABBY's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Dave, Do you recall the study you mentioned in your post. We have seen similar effects with not only Paxil but other anti-depressants, Celexa comes to mind. Would love to read the study. To the...

  14. Ethical Question

    acuteobrn replied to CalvilloSN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That "mother" is pure evil, how could she even want to watch her child endure emense pain? Agreed with the above posters, state law will mandate when a teen is emancipated, usually once pregnant...

  15. Not Good Enough For Medicine - Be A Nurse!

    acuteobrn replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    HB, I can agree to what you are saying and I am totally all for changing the image of nursing, the question is how to go about it??? BTW, I like the pics, they really show how far we have come,

  16. Not Good Enough For Medicine - Be A Nurse!

    acuteobrn replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    Now it sounds that we are getting away from the subject when we are bringing up "trolls" and such. Back to the subject at hand, yes nurses are and have been looked at as exspendable handservants to...

  17. Not Good Enough For Medicine - Be A Nurse!

    acuteobrn replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, Hb, I see your point, I did kinda go off in a tangent because the post reffered to the site that did make an issue of Abby going into medicine. I think it comes down to this: Yes the public...

  18. Not Good Enough For Medicine - Be A Nurse!

    acuteobrn replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    Can't help but agree with SJOE...hierarchy and feeling superior to the people in the job below your title is a EEOE....it transends any contry, race, religion, sex and creed...it has been and always...

  19. Tired of "ER's" Portrayal of Nurses???

    acuteobrn replied to CarVsTree's topic in General Nursing

    At first I wanted to stay away, far, far away from this topic because it goes either way: Yes it is just a show, not reality. but yes there are some people the general viewing audience that will...

  21. Acoustic Stimulator

    acuteobrn replied to babynurse32's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We don't even own a accustic stim. I agree, hand clapping, reposition and hydration do the trick, if not....BPP. Haven't seen them do one in labor though, just for NST, as we don't have a US tech in...

  24. Deliveries

    acuteobrn replied to acuteobrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks for the replies. I know that I would clamp and cut, but just when you think of it, it is a scarry prospect. I get nervous when a OB does it and prey for no shoulders and a very fast...
