  1. Cervical Ripening

    Strawberrygirl2 replied to LibraSunCNM's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I would hope they did some sort of ripening... We have a pretty strict/research based induction algorithm that we follow, but I guess I have seen low-dose Pit administered with a cook cath in for...

  2. Delaying the newborn bath

    Strawberrygirl2 replied to PinkNBlue's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think our protocol says to wait at least 6 hours. We always wait longer, especially if there is breastfeeding difficulties or we are checking sugars or something, then we wait at least 12 hours....

  3. Tips for PP Moms and Urination

    Strawberrygirl2 replied to Fitzy819's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We bought a jumbo bottle of peppermint oil on Amazon and either put it in the hat or put it on a washcloth and have the patient put it up to her nose while she tries to pee. Run trickling water in...

  4. Post Partum pain management

    Strawberrygirl2 replied to ragingmomster's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We rarely use PCA for c-section pain. (We routinely use Duramorph/Astromorph, because it is awesome...) The most common reason that we would use PCA would be for patients with hx of opiate...

    Thanks so much for the reply! That is great information! So do you end up doing either lecture or clincal 5 days a week then? I was hoping to have one weekday off to work, because my department is not...

    Hi all, I am in the winter admission. I'm 20 years old, live in Sammamish, work in surgery at the new Swedish hospital in Issaquah. Winter orientation isn't until October, so I am anxiously awaiting...

  7. Seriously considering dropping nursing school for medical school?

    Strawberrygirl2 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've been recently admitted to nursing school. I am only 19 years old, but I have spent the last two years strenuously completing prerequisites and planning my nursing career. I work in a hospital,...

    Chie said that they will begin notifying the accepted waitlisters in the beginning of June, because the end of May is the cutoff for admitted students to pay their deposit and secure their

  11. How do your pronounce "peds"?

    Strawberrygirl2 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Yes I am aware that this is the DUMBEST question ever! No I am not a nurse, so don't hate on me for not knowing. But I do work in the OR and feel like an idiot for not knowing. Anyway, it just dawned...

    Strawberrygirl2 replied to Strawberrygirl2's topic in General Nursing

    THANK YOU!! God you have NO idea how long I have not known how to say that. A weight has been lifted off of my shoulders.

    Do not give up hope! When I talked to Chie, it was only one day after I got my letter and she had told me that a few people had already declined their

    Strawberrygirl2 replied to sltenbroeck's topic in Washington Nursing

    I talked to Chie today, and she told me last year they went to #30 on the waiting list. She told me I am "basically" in! :-P So those of you who I spoke to who are #7 and #11 you both have very, very...

  15. Who's taken the TEAS v more than once?

    Strawberrygirl2 replied to RN2BEISME's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The first time I took TEAS V I scored a 75% so I studying a tad bit more and took it 5 days later and got a 84%. Just a few more right answers can really bump up your score. Good

    As the other gal that got in was telling us she got an 85.3, can you believe the difference just a fraction of a point made! We will see. I guess only time can tell and all we can do is keep our...

    Strawberrygirl2 replied to sltenbroeck's topic in Washington Nursing

    There is just one waiting list. If someone drops out of fall quarter, than a winter quarter applicant can move up to fall quarter and a waiting list applicant can move up to winter quarter. What...

    Strawberrygirl2 replied to sltenbroeck's topic in Washington Nursing

    I will definitely let you know! If the accepted applicants have to confirm by the end of May, then it is possible we could know if we are in by June. I think the best idea for us is to just forget...

    Strawberrygirl2 replied to sltenbroeck's topic in Washington Nursing

    Okay cool, yes, thank you!! ELSunny, there is still hope for us! Bellevue is the only place I want to go to, and I have been working so hard toward this application. So I know how you feel being on...

    Thanks... I hope it doesn't take all the way until January to find out if I get in. I couldn't even handle waiting these past few days. This is

    UPDATE! I got my letter in the mail today. I am on the east side. I am #6 on the wait list. Okay everyone, what are your experiences with wait lists? Do you think I still have hope? I mean... I can...

    Congratulations! If 90 TEAS is getting into fall admission, that makes it more likely that my 85 will get me into winter admission... I think... I bet you are

    Strawberrygirl2 replied to sltenbroeck's topic in Washington Nursing

    Well thank you, you have brightened my spirit! Maybe I will get in after all. There really is no good reason for my GPA being a 3.3 other than that I tried to work too many hours alongside school. I...
