    Eat Before You Get Here!

    BabyRN2Be replied to NurseJacqui's topic in Emergency

    Oh wow, that's good - that's all I've got to say!

    feelings about double rooms

    BabyRN2Be replied to starryx2's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Private rooms are so much better. Not only for the HIPAA component, but I'll echo the sentiments of others; if I'm sick enough to be hospitalized, I'm not in the mood to put up with anyone else's...

    Postpartum rooms in your hospital, are they all private?

    BabyRN2Be replied to Natalieboo's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Holy cow!! $150 extra a night for a private room?! And I thought that $30 a night was pretty steep. :) Up until 2000, most of the hospitals where I live had either private or semi-private rooms, until...

    Birth Control Pill and Previous Stroke

    BabyRN2Be posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hey, can someone possibly answer this one for me? Yes, I have a call into my doctor about this, but I wanted to ask here just for information. Five years ago, I had a fall down the stairs (head went...

    Birth Control Pill and Previous Stroke

    BabyRN2Be replied to BabyRN2Be's topic in Ob/Gyn

    OK, I'm a little confused here. I started the NuvaRing today and I looked at the package information. I'm the type of person who reads EVERYTHING about medications, even the stuff made for physicians....

    Wahoo! I'm going back to school!!

    BabyRN2Be replied to Cheerio's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Congrats Cheerio!!! *high fives* We are in the same boat, after several years of being a doula as well, I'm going into nursing. I'm going to have to take the same group of classes that I missed when I...

    Birth Control Pill and Previous Stroke

    BabyRN2Be replied to BabyRN2Be's topic in Ob/Gyn

    OK, I finally got the answer to the question. Sorry that it took a while, but it's been a busy few weeks. Now if only I could remember what she said.. um.. just kidding. :) She said that the risk of...

    Nuvaring

    BabyRN2Be replied to kat983's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm going to be starting on this very soon. The doctor didn't say that weight gain was a problem, and I asked her directly about it. This kind of makes me mad when I asked her outright about it....

    Birth Control Pill and Previous Stroke

    BabyRN2Be replied to BabyRN2Be's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm going in today and I'll let you know what I find out. I absolutely HATE GYN appts. I really can't see how some women can make nothing out of it. I just feel so violated afterwards. Call me insane,...

    Fact or Fiction? Father beats up RN w/o badge

    BabyRN2Be replied to LauraLou's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I really don't think this story is true. I think that the staff would have taken care of it outside of the father's presence. At our hospital, agency nurses can't touch the babies, period. They can't...

    tubs in LDRs- need advice for new hospital

    BabyRN2Be replied to PegRNBSN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Boy, what a wonderful setup! Our hospital just built a multi-million dollar birth center, and the pts (and doulas) don't like the fact that they don't have tubs! If at all possible, have them build...

    Endometriosis

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

    Let us know how you are... I absolutely HATE GYN appts. I was sexually abused by an uncle and the victim forced sexual advances 18 months ago. I just don't see how people go to these appts like it was...

    Saw a news special on ER crisis...opinions?

    BabyRN2Be replied to sharann's topic in Emergency

    Sounds like a "slow news day" story. Have you thought of calling or writing the station with your concerns? It's a great suggestion to them if they could report of the abuse of ER services - get at...

    Male nurse treatment

    BabyRN2Be replied to flimbar's topic in General Nursing

    Just curious, where have you seen the media making fun of male nurses in recent years? I haven't seen it at all. I can remember one episode of MASH in which Frank said that he couldn't be a male nurse...

    Labor & Delivery Units Closing

    BabyRN2Be replied to mfshirk's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This is very bad news. I'm really sad to hear about this in your area. A woman should have a choice in where she delivers. We have 3-4 big hospitals in our area and each is different in it's...

    Endometriosis

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

    It appears that we are going through the same thing. I've had endometriosis for the past 10 years or so - can't remember exactly when I was diagnosed. It's very painful, and I've had several surgeries...

    I will do that, as I have an appt later this week. Thanks for your responses so far!

    Do You Have Any Favorite OB Myths?

    BabyRN2Be replied to BabyRN2Be's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I should have made the differientiation between healthy pregnancy and healthy baby - two different things. I never tell my clients that having a lot of n/v is indicative of fetal health. I told that...

    I Hate Pp!

    BabyRN2Be replied to nekhismom's topic in Ob/Gyn

    When will you be done, Nekhismom? It's coming up pretty soon, right? Keep going, you're almost there!

    How safe are IUD's?

    BabyRN2Be replied to eng_nurse's topic in Ob/Gyn

    YES!!! I've had bad endometriosis for the last 10 years, since my bf and I are talking about getting married and pregnant one day, I don't want to go the hysterectomy route. I tried Depo-provera for...

    LVN/LPN in L&D

    BabyRN2Be replied to calimarinewife's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The problem is that a few patients need IV meds in L&D whether it be Stadol, Phenergan, etc. and as you said, pushing IV meds is not within your scope of practice. Like everyone else has said,...

    Thoughts on working with a laboring patient with a deceased baby?

    BabyRN2Be replied to kar212's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That's what happens at our hospital. Mom of fetal demise is sent to a GYN floor instead of OB. Moms of NICU babies are usually kept on PP. It's closer to the NICU if they want to go see baby. It...

    Mamma's Boys (vent)

    BabyRN2Be replied to Loribabble's topic in General Nursing

    When I was working on my speech pathology degree, I had asked a NICU nurse how many babies were born with cleft lip/palate during a typical month. She said, not very often, but when they do, they can...

    The "Queen and her son" of Frequent Flyers

    BabyRN2Be replied to RNin92's topic in Emergency

    This is why I come over and check out what's happening over at the Emergency Nursing forum. The FF stories are a hoot!! Keep 'em coming.
