  1. L & D nurses routinely deliver babies?

    PegRNBSN replied to midwife sarah's topic in Ob/Gyn

    :) The midwives at our hospital are with their patients for much of their labors and many of them started as L&D nurses and went on to get their CNMs. I love our midwives, they are the best to...

  4. Would you assist in abortions?

    PegRNBSN replied to Blackcat99's topic in Ob/Gyn

    "I don't agree with abortion, but I am not going to make someonelse choose MY WAY -- God can deal with hearts -- I am just here to help take care of their bodies and spirits... regardless of the...

  5. Would you assist in abortions?

    PegRNBSN replied to Blackcat99's topic in Ob/Gyn

    As long as they are not forced upon others..... Like innocent unborn children who have no choice, unlike their mothers who in the majority of cases have a choice--before becoming

    Don't want to participate in this but would participate in KILLING babies who are viable ????? Because of the WOMAN's right to CHOOSE??? Sorry the choice should come before killing a viable baby or a...

  7. Would you do this so others could get vacation...

    PegRNBSN replied to BittyBabyGrower's topic in General Nursing

    We have done a voluntary working of extra hours so everyone can have up to 2 weeks of vacation time over the summer. We grant vacations by seniority and if the amount of vacation time requested for a...

  8. Is this common practice?

    PegRNBSN replied to manna's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We have some MDs who prefer that the family leave the room. While I think it's better for them to stay we have had dads faint or touch the sterile field or cause distraction for the anesthesiologist....

  9. Call scheduling

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

    We only cover staffing holes with call. We staff 8/8/7 and if scheduled staff is less than that we have call. If we are 2 under we have 2 calls. If there are sick calls we just try to call staff to...

  10. Was this really routine? On partial birth abortions

    PegRNBSN replied to geekgolightly's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Just one clarification The idea in mentioning Hitler originally was to point out that the legality of an issue does not equal the morality. It was showing that an immoral thing (concentration camps)...

  11. Was this really routine? On partial birth abortions

    PegRNBSN replied to geekgolightly's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Slipping and falling equals killing a baby? This is what abortion has done to our views of the sanctity of life. This poster also forgets that many many abortions are gotten by women and girls of...

  12. What is your policy for scheduling inductions?

    PegRNBSN replied to tamrnmomof4's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Our antepartum ratio is 4 to 1 unless high acuity. We sometimes have patients on our antepartum unit that are 1:1. Since it is the same staff as L&D and is connected to our labor unit we can...

  13. What is your policy for scheduling inductions?

    PegRNBSN replied to tamrnmomof4's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We have 9 LDRs and 2 c section rooms, but one anesthesiologist. We do about 3,000 deliveries a year. We currently limit our scheduled procedures to 3 per am (surgicals and inductions) Cervidils count...

  14. Was this really routine? On partial birth abortions

    PegRNBSN replied to geekgolightly's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Just because something is legal does not make it moral. Just because something is legal does not mean that we should not crusade to stop the atrocities. I will liken abortion to concentration camps...

  15. Was this really routine? On partial birth abortions

    PegRNBSN replied to geekgolightly's topic in Ob/Gyn

    What is sick is that babies are being delivered to die!! Would it be somehow acceptable if someone held them during their

  16. Question for my fellow RNs of the OB world..

    PegRNBSN replied to harry Krishna's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We are constantly working on our relationship with the ER. We had a tragedy about 10 years ago when a 34 week pregnant patient came into the ER after an MVA. She had abdominal pain and was being...

  17. moms and babies staying together

    PegRNBSN posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hi We just had another meeting for our new hospital. The VP of nursing was appalled when he saw how many babies end up in the nursery at night. He and the M/B director had quite a discussion on...

  18. moms and babies staying together

    PegRNBSN replied to PegRNBSN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks for all the input. As usual it helps to have a view from outside our little world. The biggest problem I forsee is that this isn't the standard in our community, so if women really want their...

  19. Why can't you hear late decels with a doppler?

    PegRNBSN replied to geekgolightly's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I believe it is very difficult to hear late decels that are SUBTLE. A persistent lack of variability in the fhr should be a warning and an indication for electronic fetal

  20. the full moon - labour/delivery. research.

    PegRNBSN replied to mzvee8's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The daughter of a nurse on our unit actually did a paper on this. Using our log book of deliveries and our admissions log she researched admissions and deliveries for our unit over 8 year. She...

  21. Weeks pregnant and abortion?

    PegRNBSN replied to webbiedebbie's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Having a belief that abortion is murder and against your moral principles is beyond a prejudice. Forcing someone or expecting someone to assist at an abortion is wrong. I personally would never work...

  22. NICU on another floor

    PegRNBSN posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    We had our second meeting with architects about building our new hospital. Because this will be a rather large unit, we (L&D, antepartum and M/B) are proposing moving our large NICU to a floor...

    PegRNBSN replied to PegRNBSN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks for all the input. We are a Level 3 usually our census is about 20. The private room thing is an initiative that comes from a high level planning team that has done alot of research. We also...

  24. NICU on another floor

    PegRNBSN replied to PegRNBSN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Part of the reason NICU is taking up so much space is that the babies are all getting private rooms with sleeping areas for families. The plan would be an elevator that would be used only for our...

  25. OP babies=more pain?

    PegRNBSN replied to ChristyE's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That was a beautiful post. We need to help, teach and encourage each other. I have seen nurses excludeing doctors from information so they could handle the labor the way they wanted to with some...
