I work in OB, so I constantly get "it must be so nice to rock babies all day"... Yeah right! I just smile and bite my tongue!

If you aren't interested... I would screen my calls.

I loved mine... feeling bad that I can't wear them now in OB... Maybe I need to find a scrub jacket with a holiday print! I say have fun and wear them!

I would probably go in and hope they sent me home... Hope you feel better soon.

My hospital and our sister facilities only hire RN's for L&D... I am in Ohio, don't know about the rest of the country. Here it is a very difficult specialty to enter into... Good luck! :)

1. Demographic information about the nurse you interviewed. Do not include nurse's name. You may use initials or the terms "interviewee" or "the nurse": Gender Age Ethnicity How long have you been a nurse? What educational preparation for nursing do ...

I work as an OB RN. Mother/baby/labor/delivery and outpt. I LOVE it and can't imagine anything better!

My experience...No one askes for your paper copy anymore... I have always been verified online. And I believe that soon, they won't even issue paper copies anymore. When I renewed my license, I didn't get an updated copy. I don't think you need to wo...

Thanks for the post. Just what I needed to get me back to work on my fifth day straight! I do believe in what I do, but somedays a little reminder is very much appreciated.:redbeathe

Thanks for the feedback. I wish we had the ability to have a dedicated OR staff, but that isn't happening anytime soon. Hmm... maybe I am just going to be disappointed but I really do hope to improve the relationship between our groups. I think I wil...

For those of you who work with an OR team (we don't scrub/circulate our sections) any suggestions on how to improve teamwork between the two units? I would like for both teams to come together during a section and feel supported by the other, and thi...

I don't think I phrased my question appropriately. We aren't falling apart in a stat c/s... we do work well together. There is just a sense (on both sides of the table) that we function as two very seperate teams OR v OB and I would was looking for s...

I don't want to discourage you and maybe some OB nurses with more experience will have a different take on it... But I know my hospital and sister hospitals look for floor experience and critical care is a definate plus. I don't know if an office pos...

I would suggest that the pt. ask his doctor...

I would consider anyone with direct patient care a "bedside" nurse. Doesn't matter if it's in the OR, ER, Outpt, school nurse, etc.

I am required to have both ACLS and BLS. Plus NRP and stable... Never heard of a hospital that didn't require BLS... Interesting:rolleyes:

My first IUFD... couldn't help but have tears running down my face as I wheeled her out of the hospital. She was holding a stuffed animal crying... I just cried with her. I don't know if it's right or wrong, but it's who I am. I feel and I cry- just ...

Wow... I think it would be very difficult as a new grad to just be thrown out there. I would be very uncomfortable. Most new grads in a hospital get several weeks with a preceptor and then still have someone they can ask questions of... I would be ve...

I am not sure where your located... but in my area you can only work as an ob contingent if you have years of ob experience. OB is such a different specialty that you spend at least 6 months just learning the ropes. Most facilities won't invest that ...

We keep one in the nursery and one in our nurses station. Both have plastic break-away locks. I wouldn't want to have to unlock my crash cart....

I am an ADN in OB. I did have a year of med/surg/tele prior to being hired. I would say where I work there are more BSN nurses but everyone has been so supportive of me and I have picked things up pretty quickly. I think it's more about being the rig...

1. Do you love, like or hate your job? Love it 2. What field of nursing are you in? OB 3. Are you FT, PT, PD? FT 32 hours/week 4. Do you look forward to going to work or dread it? I look forward to it. 5. What gives you the most job satisfaction? Ma...

We all wear the hospital scrubs... lovely green scrubs- ugh

LOL! loved it. I once had a pt rate her pain 10/10 and my doc said "if I cut your arm off with a chainsaw and beat you over the head with it- that would be a 10. Do you still think it's a ten?" Pt says well maybe just a 9! She got her epidural! No c...

Both hospitals I have worked at require insulin to be double checked and signed prior to giving.... And when I worked med/surg that was a pretty common order with my docs. Thankfully it all turned out okay and you learned something...
