    lynn27 replied to Natalieboo's topic in Ob/Gyn

    At the hospital where I worked, all were private LDRP with own jacuzzi, pullout sleeping bed for dad. A little too much like a hotel--even had a patient's mother ask if we could call room service to...

    lynn27 replied to kar212's topic in Ob/Gyn

    lynn27 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    On a more serious note...I know it is so hard for you right now. Try to hang in there as best you can and keep focusing on your future. I felt just like you do and I was so frustrated and tired of...

    lynn27 replied to ferfer's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Ferfer...totally normal behavior! But some things will carry over to when you are finished with nursing school--you will always check out other people's veins when standing in checkout lines!...

  20. Cytotec

    lynn27 replied to L&D_RN_OH's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I really don't like cytotec for starting labor or cervical ripening--very unpredictable. With some patients, it doesn't seem to do a thing and with others, it can blow the baby out in record time....
