  3. First vaginal exam

    LoveANurse09 replied to Sarah LnDHopes's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I've heard of one school that has the rule, if you dont volunteer, you dont get to practice. Makes sense. This was how it was at my school with practicing IV starts :). I was lucky to feel one cervix...

  4. Improvement Ideas

    LoveANurse09 replied to HelloOBNurse's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I bet the budget is probably tight. Our NICU unit clerk makes a scrapbook for patients, maybe a mini scrapbook of Baby's Birthday? Could even be a special gift from dad to mom to get them involved.Big...

    LoveANurse09 replied to snoopy29's topic in General Nursing

  8. jobs dealing with reproduction or labor and delivery?

    LoveANurse09 replied to kiwibaby's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Sounds like you could do well as an OB Tech. They are basically like a CNA in L&D. They assist the nurses with patients or stock the OR for C-sections. There are other posts about this position...

  9. NICU Special on Discovery Health's "Baby Week"!!

    LoveANurse09 replied to futurenurseheather's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    LoveANurse09 replied to cutegrltoyaRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    LoveANurse09 replied to UNC_nurseL&D's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I notice alot of people planning to do midwifery after their kids are a little older. I have small kids as well and was wondering why wait? Is it because of being on call/late hours? While family...

    LoveANurse09 replied to JonJon88's topic in Nursing Career

    You love your job right? Try to stick it out while going straight for your RN. Where I live LPN's are not used in hospitals. Take an extra year to obtain your degree and then you can work LTC as an RN...
