    Homens on everyone. Everyone is at an increased risk for thrombus

  2. Dealing with doctors.....

    BETSRN replied to fourbirds4me's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The minute this doc ruptured her at 1-2 and 30% and -3, I would have lost respect for the guy right then and there. This lady wants to go natural and he's putting in an IUPC? Doesn't sound like a nice...

  3. Feeling Overwhelmed!

    BETSRN replied to Ang00's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am surprised that at your stage of the game, they are throeing so much at you at once. Could you speak to your preceptor about this? You cannot possible become comfortable with all of this if you...

  5. c section question

    BETSRN replied to renerian's topic in Ob/Gyn

    72 hours MINIMUM is the standard in Connecticut for a post c/section stay. I hope you are able to get some help for your sister. The fact that she is living in a hotel shoudl have sparked someone in...

  6. Cytotec for Inductions

    BETSRN replied to SteelTownRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am against any nurse inserting Miso or Cervidil. The practitioner should be the one inserting it as they have the ultimate responsibility for its use. The patient shoudl be evaluated by the doc or...

  7. Cytotec for Inductions

    BETSRN replied to SteelTownRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I didn't think we were ever able to use 100mcg of Miso except maybe for a fetal demise. We use 25 mcg. It is MOST unreliable and we all prefer cervidil to Miso. We've actually gotten away from using...

  8. LDR vs LDRP

    BETSRN replied to PegRNBSN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    There should be NO difference in the training of staff just because of the model of the unit (LDR vs. LDRP). labor is labor. You don't train someone on a general med -surg floor depending on the type...

  9. LDR vs LDRP

    BETSRN replied to PegRNBSN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I anted to respond to SmilingBluEyes comment about housekeeping in an LDRP. I want to add that the housekeeping issues are just as bad or worse on an LDRP. Often, we have to move patients (in the time...

  10. LDR vs LDRP

    BETSRN replied to PegRNBSN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    There are so many questions here to answer. I hardly know where to start. In my career, I have worked in three different community hospitals: 2 that did LDR and my present facility which is an LDRP....

  11. community vs teaching hospital

    BETSRN replied to beepers40's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am in a small community hospital and we have a lot of autonomy. Occasionslly, our docs would rather we do something (if we can't get them) and tell them later that we did it. We no longer have any...

  12. community vs teaching hospital

    BETSRN replied to beepers40's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I know that after working in three non-teaching facilities (where we nurses have a LOT of autonomy) I would have a very difficult time working with interns and residents if I was not allowed to...
