    St. Francis South

    BabyRN2Be posted a topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    We went down to SouthCrest today for my 20 week ultrasound. When we were getting off 169 I had noticed that they were changing the sign outside of the former St. Francis Heart Hospital. It now reads:...

    Funny Typos

    BabyRN2Be replied to SaderNurse05's topic in General Nursing

    Hate to say this, but in the doc's defense, if "coodinator" is written that way on your name tag, I'm wondering if he noticed that "coordinator" is spelled

    sextuplets

    BabyRN2Be replied to preemieRNkate's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    About the Morrison sextuplets: According to a message board for the Fond du Lac Reporter (one of the area papers), apparently they aren't releasing any more information on the babies at the request of...

    Does a patient have the right to refuse to allow students to witness their procedure?

    BabyRN2Be replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    I've had to go to the ED twice since I've been pregnant (once for the insertion of a PICC line) and I actually read all the paperwork they have you sign in triage. I ALWAYS cross out the line that...

    sextuplets

    BabyRN2Be replied to preemieRNkate's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    My heartfelt sympathy goes out to the Morrison family. Losing three children in one week is heartbreaking. I'm so concerned about the ones that may survive. If you've seen the movie "Little Man" about...

    Real tips for patients

    BabyRN2Be replied to JRapha'sRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I couldn't have said this any better. And remember to relax, and that you aren't the first nurse who's concerned about delivering in an area in which she doesn't work. Don't feel bad about asking any...

    sextuplets

    BabyRN2Be replied to preemieRNkate's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Good grief. If she did ART just based on that, maybe a little more patience and she'd be pregnant on her own with a singleton rather than a litter. Personally speaking, I've had two prior...

    Moving to Tulsa Area....Saint Francis Hospital at Broken Arrow?

    BabyRN2Be replied to njrn05's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    I currently live in Broken Arrow. As others have said, there isn't much going on at St Francis BA. I did hear that they are converting Saint Francis Heart Hospital to another branch of St. Francis. As...

    Where and how do you get your CNA?

    BabyRN2Be replied to Jenners's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    I got my CNA from Dream Maker's School for Health Care Aides. I really liked it, it cost about $500 in August 05, and it took about 2 weeks going 8 hours during the

    OB tech and doula training

    BabyRN2Be replied to cel122's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Speaking as a doula and CNA, I don't think that doula training would help get your foot in the door, so to speak. The tasks of a CNA usually are more technically based. I'm not saying to not get doula...

    Physicians and Labor Support

    BabyRN2Be replied to May_baby's topic in Ob/Gyn

    As with the CBE example above, there are "bad" doulas out there. Some very militant, midwife wannabes can ruin it for those who understand that we are there, working as a team, for a healthy mom and...

    Physicians and Labor Support

    BabyRN2Be replied to May_baby's topic in Ob/Gyn

    For more information on becoming a doula, go to www.dona.org. I've been a doula for the last 9 years and it's been very rewarding. I work as a volunteer doula as well as free-lance, and the experience...

    Did you see this on the Today Show?

    BabyRN2Be replied to dawngloves's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    OK, this couple asking for donations is a little over the top. On their website in the photo gallery, they mentioned someone coming in for traveling massages (if I read that right). If they want to...

    My MI by me

    BabyRN2Be replied to teeituptom's topic in Emergency

    I was thinking the same thing. Glad you are OK, Tom. Good to have a top rated cardiac center near you. Also hope you're out on the golf range really soon.

    Rules for the ER (long)

    BabyRN2Be replied to EDValerieRN's topic in Emergency

    The "butterfly" myth: I remember a while back I was reading in a magazine (probably the same one that said "Tell the triage person that you've had symptoms for X amount of hours no matter how long...

    does the FOB really get cursed out????

    BabyRN2Be replied to RNDreamer's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I really haven't seen anyone really cursed out the FOB, but just cursing out in general. One time I had seen a girl give the FOB a full contact kick to the chest though. I just said to her, "He's a...

    BabyRN2Be replied to katieb1951's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Even though I've moved to Broken Arrow from Owasso, I still drive up to UpTown Salon across the street from Wal-Mart, behind the bank that's near the light. I've been going to someone for several...

    BabyRN2Be replied to KellNY's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks to everyone for the well-wishes. :) I guess I misunderstood this thread a little bit. I feel a little bad that I had to wait this long to have kids, but I'm very grateful to be given the...

    Boy, I didn't need to read that one. I've had a lot of trouble with morning sickness and was trying to get some chicken soup down. I really need to be careful of what I read on allnurses until the...

    pts going out to smoke

    BabyRN2Be replied to crissrn27's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The hospital where I work as a doula went tobacco-free for the whole campus in November 2006. Unfortunately, that didn't stop anyone from taking smoke breaks. The parking garage is right next to the...

    PRIVATE ROOMS USA vs UK

    BabyRN2Be replied to cybernurse81's topic in General Nursing

    The only time I've seen "wards" or multi-bedded rooms was a hospital in southern California - and that was several years ago. Peds had a ward (6 beds in one room), and the rooms that were on the...

    BabyRN2Be replied to nrsbetrn's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Wow, this describes my MIL to a tee. Her mother has Alzheimer's, and she's always faulting every nursing home with something. She has been in and out of several nursing homes for minor complaints. The...
