    Tulsa Area

    BabyRN2Be replied to andreamae's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Langston University offers a BSN from their campus in Tulsa. They're part of the OSU campus just north of downtown Tulsa. I think that if you take highway 75 from Bixby, it won't be more than a half...

    new school concept???

    BabyRN2Be replied to CHATSDALE's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Haven't heard of that. Is it being implemented at any schools in Oklahoma? I believe that new nurses would do well with more hands-on work instead of theory. I know that my Spanish would improve if I...

    Absolutely the most entertaining birth plan I have ever read....

    :chuckle Now I have a new phrase for my vocubulary: feces consolidated. It took me a few seconds to figure out what it meant, but I got it and I love

    Absolutely the most entertaining birth plan I have ever read....

    BabyRN2Be replied to Mermaid4's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm a doula and I've seen my share of birthplans. That, by far, is the most hilarious one that I've ever seen. I think that the funniest I've ever seen was the mom who wanted various pieces of music...

    Trying to get hard-to-get job... need advice

    BabyRN2Be replied to NurseCard's topic in Nursing Career

    Hey RNW, Although I don't have much to say about how to go about in getting this job, I just wish you the very best of luck. It sounds like a great place for you and would meet your needs. Just a note...

    Discouraged Older Student

    BabyRN2Be replied to ChristinaV's topic in Nursing Career

    As Grammy said, not all RN's are that way. Just last night I attended a doula conference by an RN who was a lactation consultant for a NICU. She was an awesome lady! She said that they had an LPN in...

    1950s nursing

    BabyRN2Be replied to colrainrn's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, this list was also given to teachers and has been made up to suit various other professions in "1887". While some of it might be true, I think it's a hoax. Actually, I've confirmed that the one...

    All You Lefty's Out there....

    What do you want your OB patients to get from childbirth class?

    BabyRN2Be replied to Mahnikuh's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Not only everything that SmilinBluEyes mentioned, but I also vehemently add that every birth is different and that it doesn't go like the script in "A Baby Story" (I loathe that program as well as...

    Are Your End-of-Life Wishes Clear?

    BabyRN2Be replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, they are clear to my doctor and husband. The Shiavo case forced the issue. I tried to talk about this with my husband last fall before the Shiavo case became front and center for the nation. He...

    Shocked and angry. Need new job.

    BabyRN2Be replied to jrring1019's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'd be seriously worried for everyone working in that NICU dept. Fly babies in? Way more expensive. Like someone said, insurance isn't going to go for transferring moms when their baby has been...

    What type of pain med in labor used?

    BabyRN2Be replied to Daynamyte's topic in Ob/Gyn

    About 95% of the time, epidurals are used for pain. If a pt doesn't want an epidural, stadol is used most of the time. I've seen hypnosis do some pretty incredible stuff. I'd like to study...

    Top 10 ER Visits

    BabyRN2Be replied to malusport's topic in Emergency

    :yeahthat: I noticed that too and wondered the same thing. Probably from pregnancy (most women freak out when they bleed in pregnancy - most of the time it's just a teeny weeny spot, but worth a trip...

    Pregnant women with psych issues -- when do they get their baby?

    BabyRN2Be replied to Lawnurse's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If you are looking for a reason why a pregnant woman should not take meds such as SSRI's during pregnancy, I had recently received something in my inbox about the SSRI's causing a "withdrawal...

    Drug Seekers- the Wrongfully Accused

    BabyRN2Be replied to canoehead's topic in Emergency

    Well, the OP said that the guy was a known drug seeker. If he was in real pain maybe he wouldn't have just walked right out the door. He might have insisted a little bit or even thought to ask if...

    CPR after rigor mortis

    BabyRN2Be replied to HealinghandsRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Yes, actually I found one the other day on Amazon.com. An AED without a prescription. My husband, unfamiliar with how these things work, said, "I can see a bunch of high school kids having a grand old...

    Heard a sad, scary story from my preceptor today

    BabyRN2Be replied to pebbles1977's topic in Ob/Gyn

    In the book "Immaculate Deception II" by Suzanne Arms (a GREAT book), she has some vignettes about birth through the ages. In one of them, a doctor from the 1850's recalled that OB/GYN had come a long...

    How Has "Reality TV" (A Baby Story, etc) Affected Your Work?

    BabyRN2Be posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Every time I hear that one of my clients has been religiously watched "A Baby Story" during her pregnancy, I almost cringe. I, personally, can not stand to watch "A Baby Story". The program is so...

    Childbirth simulator provides hands-on training

    BabyRN2Be replied to gwenith's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Wow... that is incredible. As fergus says, there's no way to simulate the actual event. The sense of power from the woman, the actual life coming into being, etc. But it is good to have a way for docs...

    Pushing before complete

    BabyRN2Be replied to winterblue's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Calling 6-7 complete?? That's really pushing again (again, no pun intended). I couldn't agree with Daqueengene more... laboring down is a good thing. What's the rush after all? God designed our...

    Personal question regarding labor

    BabyRN2Be replied to burger914's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Although I'm a doula, and not an RN, my first thought was that your body was just getting ready to do it's thing - what it was designed to do. Remember, despite what we see on TV and IRL, birth in and...

    Anyone using Nitronox in OB?

    BabyRN2Be replied to Tess RNC's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The only place that I've really seen it used in the US is San Francisco. I had seen it on "World Birth Day." Side note: I REALLY hate those reality TV L&D programs, but this was pretty...

    Direct entry (lay) midwife?

    BabyRN2Be replied to Krojas21's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Just the other day I had sent a page that gave the guidlelines from state to state defining midwifery (CNM, CPM, DEM, etc.). Of course, I can't find it right now but I might be able to post it later...

    Anyone using Nitronox in OB?

    BabyRN2Be replied to Tess RNC's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I've never heard of this before, is this something similiar to Nitrous Oxide? If yes, how is it different. Tess, I assume you are in the States. What part of the country (West Coast, East Coast,...

    My bf's sister is going to deliver in Grand Junction this October. What is the state of the hospitals there? I'm curious if anyone has any experience delivering in Grand Junction. Her mom is concerned...
