    Is there a need for more male nurses?

    BabyRN2Be replied to reddgott's topic in General Nursing

    Reddgot, SmilingBluEyes is absolutely right. There's a demand for EXCELLENT nurses; leaving issues of sex, race, religion, sexual orientation aside - we just need GREAT nurses, regardless of anything....

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

    BabyRN2Be replied to BabyRN2Be's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I know you were serious! I was totally agreeing with you... didn't doubt you for a second...

    I am new to allnurses.com

    BabyRN2Be replied to okienurse075's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Welcome to the board! If you don't get the answers on the NCLEX you need in this forum, you may consider checking out either the LPN forum. I believe that they were going to open a new forum for...

    Down and Dirty In The Oklahoma State Board of Nursing

    BabyRN2Be replied to sleepless in norman's topic in General Nursing

    I wish that I could help you. I'm in Oklahoma, and I agree, this is a podunk state where the Good Ol' Boy System reigns. Have you contacted a lawyer? I think that this would be the appropriate action....

    ACLS Question

    BabyRN2Be replied to Stitchie's topic in Emergency

    Great job, Stitchie! I'm happy that it wasn't as harrowing as you thought it was gonna be. That's gotta be a great feeling!

    Why reverse sedation?

    BabyRN2Be replied to Jolie's topic in Emergency

    I know that I'm not a nurse yet, but in my opinion, that didn't make any sense to me. I know that Narcan is fast acting, but you weren't having any adverse reactions, they weren't desperate to D/C...

    Recommend epidurals?

    BabyRN2Be replied to lady_jezebel's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Epidurals do have some risk to them. I wouldn't wash the idea totally down the drain as I've seen them work to help relax the mom so that the baby could descend. I've seen dramatic progress with them...

    Pros and Cons of L & D Nursing

    BabyRN2Be replied to Energizer Bunny's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Since it's late, I'll list my pros and cons tomorrow when I'm not so sleepy. But I'll give you an idea now, CNM - why not think of becoming a doula? You'll get a good look at OB practices. No, you...

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

    BabyRN2Be replied to BabyRN2Be's topic in Ob/Gyn

    There's absolutely nothing wrong with these types of people. Most often than not, I LOVE LOVE working with these families. They are very well prepared. I always have something to do when working with...

    OB Summer Reads

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

    Just to let you know about the book I had started. I'm half way through "Diary of a Midwife." Some of it is dry reading, and it doesn't capture the descriptive writing of Baby Catcher. So far, I like...

    Delivering in Grand Junction, CO

    BabyRN2Be replied to BabyRN2Be's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks for the information, Thanatos. I did get on the website for St. Mary's and they sound like they are pretty good. They at least have a level II NICU, and that should be good enough. Mom is in...

    Delivering in Grand Junction, CO

    BabyRN2Be posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm just curious if anyone has had any experience with this: 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...

    OB Hospitals in Grand Junction

    BabyRN2Be replied to BabyRN2Be's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Thank you, very much. I do appreciate it. I did find out that it seems that St. Mary's is one of the better places to deliver. They have 2 community hospitals, but I think it might be best for them to...

    BabyRN2Be replied to Blackcat99's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Hey CNM... are you referring to me or Blackcat on the sanity question? The jury is still out on my sanity. :rotfl: But you are welcome to visit Oklahoma and sit with me on the front porch and watch...

    How do I go about...

    BabyRN2Be replied to PCGrad06's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The only problem with this is that they usually don't use CNA's in L&D. They use CNA's in postpartum, but I don't know of a hospital in this area that uses CNA's in L&D. Sorry about

    What does it take to be a good L & D nurse?

    BabyRN2Be replied to QTRN74's topic in Ob/Gyn

    As a doula, I work daily with L&D nurses. I've seen a lot of them in my 6 year tenure working as a doula. I'll give you my opinion on what it takes to be a great L&D nurse. 1. Treat every...

    Are CNA's considered "Nurses"?

    BabyRN2Be replied to nursesherry's topic in General Nursing

    This kind of drove me nuts at my doctor's office. There was an MA who passed herself off an an RN. She was always referred to as Dr. Soandso's nurse. She wasn't even a CNA and she didn't make one...

    One Worried lil' CNA in Training

    BabyRN2Be replied to shel_wny's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    It sounds like you have your heart in the right place. At some places I've seen, the CNA is only there to draw a check (yes, I know that there are some RN's like that - I'm trying to be fair) and they...

    Endometriosis

    BabyRN2Be replied to Energizer Bunny's topic in Ob/Gyn

    CNM2B, First of all, thank you for your kind words in your last post to me. It helps to know I'm not the only one out there. I was just wondering how you are doing? Any updates you would care to share...

    A quick vent

    BabyRN2Be replied to bellehill's topic in Pain Management

    You did the right thing, 100%!! Good job. This woman probably would have come to the desk either way... "mom's in too much pain, why haven't you done anything?" or "You've given mom too much...

    ACLS Question

    Stitchie, I'll be thinking good thoughts for you tomorrow. Take a deep breath and relax. I'm sure you'll do well. Good luck, hon!

    Langston or OU

    BabyRN2Be replied to Asiancutie's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    I'm just curious if Rogers State University in Claremore still has an ADN program. I've gone to their website and they list "pre-nursing", not an actual RN program. Does anyone know anything about...

    Langston or OU

    BabyRN2Be replied to Asiancutie's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    At the moment, I'm very angry with Langston. This lady who examined my transcripts knew I wouldn't be accepted. I had 5 prereqs not met, apparently you need to have all the prereqs before you can...

    Anyone work in Tulsa, Oklahoma?

    BabyRN2Be replied to pinkpalaceRN's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Do you like it here? I mean, we have many great hospitals to choose from. Many cities can't say that. Have you lived in Tulsa all of your life? I thought that Specialtly Hospital was down at 81st and...

    Tornado alley

    BabyRN2Be replied to Blackcat99's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Watching a tornado is absolutely amazing. You have a front row seat witnessing an awesome display of power. I find them beautiful when you see one on the prairie. Witnessing one hitting downtown Tulsa...
