  1. question about applying for a new job

    adpiRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    When you apply for a new job, do you let your current manager know? What if the new potential job wants to check references before giving you an offer? (My current job is my first nursing job, so I'd...

  2. Need Opinions from Nurses about job selection

    adpiRN replied to SandgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    If you have a way to get health insurance, I'd take the per diem ambulatory surgery job. You'd get good experience I think and the schedule sounds

  3. Mistake to leave L&D before getting OR trained?

    adpiRN posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Where I work we're trained to do lady partsl deliveries, triage, baby nurse and recovery room when we're first hired, but they put off OR training until later. (Is this common?) Because of staffing,...

  4. I have my first RN job- should I leave CNA jobs on my resume?

    adpiRN replied to Double-Helix's topic in General Nursing

    My resume for my first RN job had all sorts of random stuff on it - volunteer work, teaching English in Japan, an internship at an auction house and real estate. In my interview my manager told me...

  5. I got my dream job...! :)

    adpiRN replied to KayRN910's topic in General Nursing

    Congratulations!!!! That's one job that's always been in the back of my mind as a potential dream job for myself. Probably because I had a childhood friend with CF who had a lung transplant. What...

    adpiRN posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    The other day we had a diabetic full-term patient being induced on cervidil. Without any real warning, she had a spontaneous fetal demise. The baby was on the monitor and then it wasn't.... The...

  7. My first precipitous delivery - freaked out!

    adpiRN posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    My pt was being induced with her 4th baby today. The OB and I suspected she could be fully from her tracing, but the pt was comfortable with an epidural and not complaining of much pressure and the...

  8. Recommended Lactation Consultant/Educator class?

    adpiRN replied to exactlywatt's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I may go to a conference through Prepared Childbirth Educators to become a Breastfeeding Counselor. It looks like an interesting course and I can use CEU days through my hospital. I did their...

  9. questions for L&D nurses from a pregnant nurse :)

    adpiRN replied to Lola77's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Could you explain a little more about what's in your birth plan and what you mean by wanting a natural childbirth? If your plan is just to not have an epidural, that shouldn't be a problem at all....

  11. Is a baby nurse..

    adpiRN replied to JM RN's topic in General Nursing

  13. Does working in L&D affect your sex drive?

    adpiRN posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I've been an L&D nurse for about a year and a half. I've noticed lately a decrease in my sex drive which I've chalked up to being with my husband for a few years, the fact that I'm working hard,...

  16. what's the most deliveries you've done in a 12 hour shift?

    adpiRN posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I just had my personal record today. Three NSVDs. Ugh, I'm tired. Luckily they were all multips who pushed for less than 10 minutes. I had 1 at 9:30, 1 at 1:30, 1 at 5:30. Every 4 hours, like...

  17. One Born Every Minute

    adpiRN posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm watching this show right now on Lifetime. I like it! It's pretty realistic I think. My hospital is very similar in terms of high volume, high epidural rate. What did everyone else

  18. One Born Every Minute

    adpiRN replied to adpiRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I also couldn't figure out why they were there. Was it a post-dates induction? Didn't seem like it since she wasn't on pit till the very end. Was she just in her own labor? If so why was she in...

    adpiRN replied to gobucky*'s topic in General Nursing

  23. code on a baby

    adpiRN posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I had an awful end to my shift. We did a c/s on a pt for failure to progress, tracing was fine with an ISE. I was baby nurse and we had Peds resident back there. The baby came out AWFUL with no...

  24. code on a baby

    adpiRN replied to adpiRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I worked today and it seems that it was a subdural hematoma and once the baby was out and reserves gone, he just deteriorated fast. The neonatologist said that the tracing actually would look fine in...

  25. code on a baby

    adpiRN replied to adpiRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    1 more theory I just came up with on why this may have happened - I think the mom had elevated BPs during pregnancy and had been on bedrest for it. Maybe the spinal anesthesia dropped her BPs too much...
