You know I am almost kind of proud of this Md he actually had the b---s to put into words what the majority of Ob's are doing and not telling their patients until they are forced to stay in bed on the monitor( not even allowed to go to restroom) and up in stirrups with a vaccum or a 36+6 week induction on a cesearean section table for failure to progress when they are not even ready for labor all because the Md is going out of town on vacation, - and doesnt want anyone else to deliver his patient, and the patient thinks its because the Md likes her. BS it is for the money. Now having ranted about all that I do not approve of this Md's practices at all and wish you all the luck in the world. REMEMBER KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!!!!!!!

better yet it is time to quit sucking your thumb mom. you are the grownup now act like it

Icea has great workshops for beginners i went in 2007 and thats what got me started

darlin you cant save the world, and remember that you are only one person and you are human.

I wonder if ghilbert or anyone that has agreed with her has ever made a med error?

hey Fun do you really want to work at that facility. cuz I wouldnt

I had that knick name a few years ago. my 3rd day working at a new hospital had my first percreta ( can you say disaster) then a few days later crash c/section then a few weeks after that had an abruption walk in with a live baby, 10 mins from door to baby I was quite proud of that of course we had 2 anesthesiologist starting lines and drawing blood admit assessment consisted of what are you allergic to and do you have any medical conditions. extra techs called from surgery one nurse cathing and one nurse shaving. Nursery having a fit after delivery because the hep b immunization consent was not signed prior to delivery( go figure) but thankfully the black cloud has receeded a little

Just use the book, Highlight the most important aspects of the book and teach those things to the moms Our book is quite lengthy and there is no way to go over all of it. In our Baby care class we teach the basics. if they have not delivered start with appearances and what to expect. then skin care, cord care, diapering. bath time, etc. till you have completed your outline. are you a student

20 years ago I was Rae I had an instructor who told me I was too young and immature to ever be a good nurse. Ha Ha I was the only one in that clinical rotation that she did not give an unsatisfactory to. to this day I still hate her. Nursing school is hard enough without nasty instructors who have no business being a nurse much less an instructor. You can definitly now say you have been there and got the t-shirt. It will always make you more sympathetic to new nurses.

lisamct I want to come work with you no body hear gets a chance to labor with bow intack

intrapartum management modules is a great resource for new nurses. I have 20 years experience and really enjoyed reading it and I actually learned a few things. Good Luck

I have decided that when my Daughter or DIL have children that I am going to have to leave the country because I will be a NERVOUS WRECK!!!!

I have always found when recieving these patients that compromise will go a long way. I always sit down with them early on and discuss their birth plans with them, I point out the things that may be a problem. in the end I tell them that I respect their wish and that I hope they will respect me in the aspect that I am there to make sure that they have a happy healthy baby and a happy healthy mom and that I may have to do things that disagree with their birth plan but I will do those things only as a last resort. I dont think I have ever had a couple disagree with me and I have actually taken care of a couple of them with their next baby.

I absolutely agree with Bagladyrn. If they are a multip and they are sitting up for an epidural check them asap when you lay them down or it can and will happen again. by the way hold you head high I guarantee you that every one of those nurses have done something wrong in their career and if they havent it is only a matter of time before they do make one. plus I quit counting the number of precip deliveries I helped with years ago.

If you are not following standards for your hospital community and awhonn you are leaving yourself open to be undefendable. check your standards.

Well Nightmare I understand your editing but how am I suppose to get this information? Please let me know Cancer nav I really appreciate your efforts and I would love to look at the site but as you can see you cant put it on this board until we have 15 post so I guess you can tell me as much as you can on the post until we have 15 post . Thank you so much for getting back to me

I think I might have worked at that facility. It sounds so familiar. Hang in there I will bet that now that you have reacted they will leave you alone. If not continue to hang in there and dont let them run over you. You did a good job sticking up for yourself and the tears they just mean you are female. Good luck.:yeah::yeah:

I have read about the proceedure but I really think we have to have a md order here

HI I really think you have to have a drs order for this as it is invasive it is also something you might want to check with your board on because once it is in you cant take it back. I am in the south and have 19 years experience in l&d and i have never seen nor heard of it being done

I had mine done last February and have been very pleased with the results ( no period or just spotting). My Doc told me that it could render me infertile but there was still a chance of pregnancy and that if that did happen it would be a very high risk pregnancy- risk from ectopic all the way to abruption or percreta. Thankfully hubby had already been fixed. so no more worries of pregnancy

I haven't seen anyone mention that with socialized medicine that there is usually a waiting list for surgical proceedures that can save lives.

I agree with whoever said that our tax increase will off set the pay cut. people need to research socialized medicine, government and economy. I know it sounds selfish but I work very hard to provide a nice life for my family and I am sick and tired of people thinking it is ok to take away what I have worked for and give it to those who dont want to work, If you cant work that is another issue but just giving it away. I have seen so many patients that think just because they are pregnant that they cant work well guess what I work l&d while pregnant pushing that 300lb mom around with an epidural that did not work while she was pregnant. I worked until the day they sent me home from work with a b/p 160/110, and guess what I didn't complain I delt with it.

I agree totally Maybe is just part of the breakdown of our society that people just dont care about anything anymore . this is definitely me

can anybody say Jerry Springer here we come

are you sure you arent in miss. it is the same exact thing here and it is absolutely blowing my mind
