   Supersleuth replied to neesh's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I left Houtson in 2002. I worked there for 4 years as an OB nurse at a Level III nurs/Level I trauma hospital--Hermann Hosp. I also did research for the med school in the same L&D unit. Many of the patients are on studies which is exciting to me....

   Supersleuth replied to SteelTownRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

   We used this drug like it was going out of style at the last place I worked. I think it works so much better than cervidil too. All night long on cervidil and then in the morning Pit lead to more sections in my experience. I think that it really depe...

7. Meds during labor

   Supersleuth replied to verock's topic in Ob/Gyn

   When I first stared as an L&D nurse 6 yrs ago, all we used was Demerol and Phenergan. Some docs liked to use Stadol 1-2 mg. I liked the Stadol although some patients experienced really strange hallucinations on it. Last year we stared using Fenta...
