   Why is there a nurse when you have a midwife with hospital birth?

   Conejita replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Not totally on topic to the OP but just an FYI, I worked for a small community hospital in N. California that did give privileges to a non-nurse midwife to deliver in the hospital. This midwife is a...

   Conejita posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

   Dearest L&D nurses, Just wondering if anyone knows the best route for Cytotec (misoprostol) being used in PP hemorrhage? Our docs/midwives order it given PR, PO, and sublingual/buccal...all in...

   Conejita replied to Elvish's topic in Ob/Gyn

   We only have two providers who do C/S where I work and they couldn't be more different with the post-op diet orders. We have one provider who writes orders for advance as tolerated- and we usually...

   Postpartum Nursing Question

   Conejita replied to Hozgur's topic in Ob/Gyn

   We don't have any NPs (nurse practitioners) working on our unit, which is antepartum/L&D/postpartum all in one. We do have CNMs (certified nurse midwives) though- these are masters prepared RNs...

   fentanyl in labor

   Conejita replied to ldcmw1's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Staffing Issue

   Conejita replied to L&DRN2008's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Yikes. It does sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. I also work in a small rural hospital- we do 500-600 births a year....so maybe that amount makes the difference. We always have two RNs on...

   Question about "Too narrow of bones" with giving birth

   Conejita replied to SNLou84's topic in Ob/Gyn

   We have women squatting during labor/pushing/birth with some frequency. The providers where I work are very accommodating to what position the woman wishes to give birth in. Both our Midwives and...

   Question about "Too narrow of bones" with giving birth

    Question about "Too narrow of bones" with giving birth

    Conejita replied to SNLou84's topic in Ob/Gyn

    As others have said here, the measurement tools used to screen for CPD and macrosomia (a big baby) are often fairly inaccurate and most women should at least be given the chance to labor and try for a...

    Funny OB things people say

    Conejita replied to at your cervix's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Funny one from a few weeks ago that just popped into my mind and made me laugh again: A very nice woman who had been on bed and pelvic rest for the last few weeks came in to r/o pre-term labor again....

    Woman Calls C-Section "Rape"

    Conejita replied to c3p0's topic in Ob/Gyn

    From what I have read, if a c-section is court ordered- yes, they can actually send the police to find you and bring you in and force you to have a c-section. Scary! Sounds like assault and battery...

    My L&D misadventure

    Conejita replied to labordude's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't think it is right that males are discriminated against in this area of nursing. Personally, I feel that our all-female nursing staff could really use some gender balance! With that said, I...
