  2. Medical patients on post-partum floor?

    MommyLauraRN replied to tiliimnrn's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Ditto here too. Our pp floor will occaisionally be asked to take off service pts such as vag hysts. Sometimes we'll get lap chole's who stay basically because they had a late surgery and will go...

    MommyLauraRN replied to emily_rn_03's topic in First Year After Licensure

  4. Transient Tachypnea of the Newborn

    MommyLauraRN replied to obliviousRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    MommyLauraRN replied to fourbirds4me's topic in Ob/Gyn

  9. M. Murray has scared the pants off me

    MommyLauraRN replied to Bessie's topic in Ob/Gyn
