    unplanned pregnancy after wanting a tubal ligation.....

    BabyRN2Be replied to MyAngel's topic in General Nursing

    I guess many doctors are hestitant to do so because you never know what might happen in life. You may think that you are "done" with your 1 child at 21. I remember what happened to a woman involved in...

    OB Summer Reads

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

    Thank you for your suggestions, Michelle! That's a few that I'll have to add to my list. I'll be going to Colorado in June and I'd like to take something to read on the 14 hour drive. Any

    Drug abuse in hospitals

    BabyRN2Be replied to abcd1234's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Wow, by all means report this! This is patient safety we are talking about here. Think of it this way: would you want your mother, father, children being taken care of by a staff member(s) who have...

    Do You Have Any Favorite OB Myths?

    BabyRN2Be replied to BabyRN2Be's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Has anyone ever read the urband legends pages of Snopes.com? They do have an entire section devoted to the urband legends related to pregnancy. Included in section is the UL about urinating into Drano...

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

    BabyRN2Be replied to BabyRN2Be's topic in Ob/Gyn

    AMEN! While I support moms who want to have a few people present, I really don't like it when they invite everyone including their plumber to attend the birth. The hospital rooms are a little small,...

    borderline friend help

    BabyRN2Be replied to catz's topic in Psychiatric

    Thank you, Catz. I don't know much about BPD, but that sounds like a plausible explanation. It sounds like you are doing the right thing by setting boundaries. It really doesn't matter if your friend...

    just made to feel guilty....

    BabyRN2Be replied to uk_nurse's topic in General Nursing

    It's really amazing that this is almost universal. Employers should understand that you have responsibilities outside of work. How about striking up a deal with them? "Hey, I'll come in. You find...

    How to get rid of the hiccups?

    BabyRN2Be replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I'm staying with my tried and true method of pouring a teaspoon of sugar directly on the back of my throat. Never fails me, works 100% of the time for me. Seeing as you originally posted this in Oct....

    Any other new students getting really nervous?

    BabyRN2Be replied to louloubell1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Can I make a suggestion to you all? I know that this is not my specialty, but maybe Kelli Dunham's book might be able to help you. It's entitled, "How to Survive and Maybe Even Love Nursing School."...

    Why are you REALLY going into nursing? Honest answers please.

    BabyRN2Be replied to Sheri257's topic in General Students

    Honestly, the pay is great compared to what I'm doing right now and I'll actually have less work. As a doula working in L&D, it's a very rare birth that I'm NOT on my feet for the duration of...

    ACLS Question

    BabyRN2Be replied to Stitchie's topic in Emergency

    Stitchie, I'm just curious, are you taking it on 4/26/05 and are studying nearly a year in advance (not a bad thing to do) or do you have the date wrong? Good luck on your studying and I'm sorry I...

    borderline friend help

    BabyRN2Be replied to catz's topic in Psychiatric

    I'm just curious, but it sounds like she wants to be hospitalized. Why would anyone want to be in the hospital? I know that psych is not my specialty, but I'm just wondering why someone would want to...

    Has anyone had a mom laboring using Hypnobirthing?

    BabyRN2Be replied to becca.utns's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't know if all of them would really be high maintenance because they have invested a lot of time, and in the case of HypnoBirthing, some money into having the best labor experience they can have....

    Ghostly experiences??

    BabyRN2Be replied to Erin RN's topic in General Nursing

    I think that someone has to compile these into a book, if this hasn't already been done. Send the royalties to me if this hasn't been done. Actually this would make a great long term TV show. After...

    BabyRN2Be replied to Witheney's topic in General Nursing

    From a nurse's standpoint, I guess it would be morphing into a Fluff my Pillow Personality, getting on the call light once every 10 minutes, demanding that personal needs be met above their medical...

    13 pound infant...thank goodness it was c-section!

    BabyRN2Be replied to becca.utns's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I attended the birth of a 11lb. 2oz baby boy back in March. This was turned out to be a c-section, but mom really wanted to get natural... as in NO epidural, not just a vag delivery. It was a...

    BabyRN2Be replied to kat983's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That's the whole reason why I'm on it, to control bad endometriosis, not necessarily for birth control at this point. Thanks, Gompers!

    Has anyone had a mom laboring using Hypnobirthing?

    BabyRN2Be replied to becca.utns's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hypnobirthing works, only IF you practice. I can't emphasize that enough. It's like all other skills, it does take a lot of time and practice. But in the births that I've seen it work, it's priceless....

    Taxi vs. 911

    BabyRN2Be replied to susswood's topic in Emergency

    I work in L&D at a local hospital, and one of my pet peeves is when pts use EMSA as a taxi service. Usually they've only had one contraction or two, water is intact, they insist that they didn't...
