  1. hospitals in florida

    BETSRN replied to Limor's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Where is the Florida forum located. I can;t seem to access it. Thanks. B

  2. What do LPN's do in general-also in OB/GYN

    BETSRN replied to GladysStiles's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It depends on the hospital. I work at an all RN hospital. our LPN's had to go back to school to become RN's or they had to become techs. They are invaluable in all of those areas,

  3. PA-C's on L&D

    BETSRN replied to Dave ARNP's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yersinnia, I don't know where you get your information about PA's. All I know is that at the hospital in the next town, who has PA's, their orders have to be signed off within 24 hours by their...

  4. PA-C's on L&D

    BETSRN replied to Dave ARNP's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yersinia, you certainly DO have to be a surgeon to perform c/sections. The hospital is not going to let someone without surgical priviliges perform any kind of surgical procedure at the facility. One...

  5. PA-C's on L&D

    BETSRN replied to Dave ARNP's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I certainly do NOT think it is standard practice for PA's to be delivering

  6. Bummed RN

    BETSRN replied to lynn27's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You go, Girl! Good

  7. OB doc not clamping cords

    BETSRN replied to Darchild77's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You know, I just had a thought. This is really an OB issue. I also think that it might be prudent to talk to the chairman or the OB department. That is also a peer review issue, I should

  8. Bummed RN

    BETSRN replied to lynn27's topic in Ob/Gyn

    By the way, where are you,

  9. Bummed RN

    BETSRN replied to lynn27's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Personally, I think you made a good choice leaving. I hope you told the administration why in your exit interview. If not,I would suggest writing their risk manager a letter voicing your concerns....

  10. OB doc not clamping cords

    BETSRN replied to Darchild77's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If you just leave the baby on the belly and start your assessment there, this doc will have plenty of time to clamp the cord in a timely manner. Could you speak with some of the other Ob's and see...

  11. Doctors behaving badly

    BETSRN replied to Darchild77's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree about the lawyer, but I would start easy and get your nurse manager involved.There are probably other OB's who would also be able and maybe willing to speak to this harassing doc.If this is...

  12. adn vs bsn

    BETSRN replied to lab2004's topic in Nursing Career

    No difference in pay at my hospital for degree or advanced

  13. Cytotec

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

    At my institution, MD's and CNM's can place Miso but they can split their own pills. We have pill splitters for that. We are also very conservative in our use of Miso, beacuse of it's erratic actions....

  14. Am I the ONLY person who had trouble just making a bed to nursing standards?

    BETSRN replied to Roland's topic in General Students

    Isn't it sad to think that nursing school has nothing better to do than give you trouble if you cannot make a bed the right way? In the grand scheme of things, how you make the bed won;t matter. AS a...

  15. If I hear 'C Nurses make the best nurses' one more time I will scream!

    BETSRN replied to JennInColumbus's topic in General Students

    If you have heard this enough times to get your Masters paid for, then go for it. I think a lot of people are giving you some good advice here. Instead of having such a confrontational attitude,...

  16. PA-C's on L&D

    BETSRN replied to Dave ARNP's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Never use PA's in our hospital at all. I know one of the teaching facilities nearby uses them but NOT in L&D. Seems to me that would be out of their scope of practice. We only have MD's and

  17. Fetal monitoring

    BETSRN replied to Mimi2RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If at all possible it is always better NOT to use the more invasive FSE's and IUPC's. If you are hearing the heartbeat well and it is tracing, why go for an FSE? There is little if any reason to use...

  18. If I hear 'C Nurses make the best nurses' one more time I will scream!

    BETSRN replied to JennInColumbus's topic in General Students

    You know guys, most of you are not even nurses as yet. Just enjoy yourselves and do the best you can in school. Once you are actually a nurse and at the bedside, you'll either cut it or you won't....

  19. adn vs bsn

    BETSRN replied to lab2004's topic in Nursing Career

    I agree with elizzy. You'll have a much better appreciation of nursing after you have some hands on experience. Then your BSN will mean a whole lot more to you when you have been in the "real" world...

  20. If I hear 'C Nurses make the best nurses' one more time I will scream!

    BETSRN replied to JennInColumbus's topic in General Students

    Why do these threads bother you so

  21. If I hear 'C Nurses make the best nurses' one more time I will scream!

    BETSRN replied to JennInColumbus's topic in General Students

    Book smarts does NOT mean a person is successful at what they do. has anyone ever heard the term "book smart,life dumb"? There is a LOT of truth in that

  22. adn vs bsn

    BETSRN replied to lab2004's topic in Nursing Career

    I already had a non-nursing BS and that's why I did the diploma path. Best thing I ever did. You get far better hands on in an ADN program than you do in a BSN one. I can always tell the difference in...

  23. If I hear 'C Nurses make the best nurses' one more time I will scream!

    BETSRN replied to JennInColumbus's topic in General Students

    I have never heard that before. I think it takes any nurse from whatever training she comes from a while to become a good, competent clinical nurse. Sadly, a lot of nursing school concentrate on the...

  24. All Ob/gyn Nurses.... Pleeeeeeease Help!

    BETSRN replied to byrdgirl210's topic in Ob/Gyn

    There are many thypes of OB units, depending on the philosophy of the hospital. The old fashioned" way (and still the way many places) is to have three totally separate staffs in OB (a nursery, a...

  25. Eager and Willing.. but very confused!

    BETSRN replied to Owloveyou's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Some units are NOT separate. I work in an LDRP unit which means that we do labor/delivery/nursery and post partum,also. In other words, we ahve to be competent in all three areas. It's a wonderful...
